GERALD SISLEY BURNS
FEET SEVERELY
Gerald Sisley of Palmer was
hospitalized last week for first
and second degree burns of both
feet, and for a small area of third
degree burns, also on his feet. His
attending physician said the more
serious burn might necessitate
skin grafting, but that the boy
was recovering well from his in
juries.
Gerald was burned when he
broke through top soil shielding
a fire underground._

Postmistress Outlines Do's and Dont's
For Rural Mail Subscribers' Boxes
There s more to a star mail
route than just the announcement
that a mail contract is let and
that service will begin on July 1,
postmistress Beatrice Huntley re
minded recipients of rural mail
today. Those recipients have a
share in the bargain, too.
Before Mailman Gilman Lindsey
can start on his daily round from
Palmer (via the Matanuska Ex
I periment Station) to Wasilla and
i return, residents along his route
are going to have to prepare for
him. And the first thing they’re
going to have to do is to erect a
mailbox in which he can deposit
the mail.
But not any old mail box,
perched on the handiest location
on the farm, so far as the farmer
is concerned, will do. There are
definite rules and regulations set
up by the United States govern
ment on the proper type of rural
mailboxes.
Here’s an outline of points Mrs.
Huntley would like rural mail
route subscribers to Dear in mina |
when planning that mailbox:
1. Mail boxes should be erected
on the right hand side of the road,
in the line of travel.
2. Boxes should be placed
about four feet from the ground,
and should be grouped, whenever
possible.
3. The box must be legibly let
tered with the owner’s name and
box number. The lettering should
be placed so that it is visible to
the mailman as he drives toward
the box.
4. Boxes should be placed at
locations where they will not
cause the mailman to obstruct
traffic when he is delivering the
mail.
5. Boxes should be placed far
enough away from the highway
so that the mailman will be af
forded a turnout at least three
lanes wide, when he drives up to
the box to deliver mail.
6. Boxes should be weather
proof and in good repair at all
