Mail Volume Here May Break Record Christmas Mail Burdens R. F. D. Men And Extra Clerks Santa’s sleigh will not be more crowded tomorrow might than the au- tomobiles which ply the rural free de- livery routes about Dallas have.been this week. £ Breasting a fod of Gta mail, an enlarged staff a e local post of- fice has been working at top speed all week. Joseph Polacky, postmaster, believes the volume is greater than in any recent year and expressed opinion that the record of the local office may be broken. Early in the week the R. F. D. car- riers found the load too great for ordi- nary conditions and had to remove the seat cushions and make other changes | in their cars to accommodate the mail. With their work doubled, the carriers were compelled to work late deliver- ing. One and one-half cent stamps, used for mailing Christmas cards, were sola out on Tuesday and Mr, Polacky had to make a rush trip to Wilkes-Barre for more. Anastasia Kozemchak and Eleanor Machell were added to the staff of clerks and Mrs. Polacky vol- unteered her services without pay but even the larger staff had difficulty in coping with the last-minute rush. Mr. Polacky was grateful to the large number who responded to a re- quest for early mailing. He said many local folks did their mailing some weeks ago and thereby relieved the burden on the post office, Laketon MRS. MARIE OBERST CORRESPONDENT Mrs, Daisy Crispell and Marie Oberst visited Mr. and Mrs. Peter Eckerd of | Loyalville on Monday night.

Declamation Is Feature Of Surprise Party For Morgan — CAREER REVIEWED Forsaking his burdensome executive duties for the nonce, Burgess Herbert A. Smith of Dallas courted the poetic muse last week and composed an epic poem which he read, with gestures, on Friday might at a surprise party for Councilman Morgan Wilcox. It was Mr, Wilcox’s birthday and to help him observe it Mr. and Mrs. Peter D. Clark, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Lapp, Mr. and Mrs. James Ay cilman at his home and stage lightful party in his honor. 5 Burgess Smith’s unique composition, read as a climax of the affair, was easily the hit of the evening. A life- long friend of Mr. Wilcox, the Bur- gess drew freely upon his knowledge .| of the guest of honor’s career, partic- ularly that part relating to his family’s fondness for fast horses. Lest the poem be lost to posterity, The Post herewith publishes it: In days gone by a boy was born To the Wilcox family, who owned a barn Under the South Street Bridge, by darn. The Wilcox’s were horsey hellions, They talked of their sires and dams and stallions. Although they seldom won a race, They still kept on with a smiling face. The boy grew up with the Wilcox clan ‘Who tried to ake him a, horse fan. Said his Uncle Jim, “You can be a contender For ownership to a horse like De- fender.” But Morg replied to his Uncle Jim, “My chances here are mighty slim, There’s a crowd of Wilcox’s, all broken and sound, And not enough horses to go around.” So Morg, he went to Syracuse, And of his time he made good use. He played football, mid shouts and yells, . And told Uncle Jim to go to H—. So Morg, he left the horsey class, He studied hard, and finally passed. He shunned such things as a hor- sey life And took unto himself a wife. Morg came to Dallas one glorious fall And bought himself Hall”. He prospered, and lived a happy life With comfort galore and not a strife, “Old Sunset He then was made a City Boss And ran the town without a loss And ever since, he has lived in the sticks, And swapped tall lies with all the hicks. I sec Morg’s face is turning red And more of this may turn his head, So now my story must quickly close, For I expect a sock on the nose. Mrs. Florence Hoppes and Mrs. Oberst visited Mrs, Edna Majyer on Thursday.
