It begins in Two ‘Taverns, Pa., and ends in the Park View schoolhouse here in Washington. This is the inauguration of a com- munity shipping and buying program which is planned to ‘be extended all over the United States. The farmers near Two Taverns, 90} miles from Washington, have form- ed a selling organization called the Mt, Joy Community association. They chose A. Nevin Sponsellor commun- yment, is convinced that within @ fow buyers, hucksters or commission men. Edward J. Ward, government spe- cialist in community organization, woo started the schoolhouse postoffice community buying and selling move years there will be hundreds of thous- ands of such community centers in this country. He is cooperating with Blakesley to widen the field of the! motor truck route as fast as com-} munity selling and ‘buying wenters may bo estadlished. “The thing to do,” Ward sald, “is for the people of any community to get together in the-schoolhouse, elect an agent, and arrange with the school authorities to use the building for ity secretary. The postoffice depart- ment has made him postal agent and the Two Taverns schoolhouse has} been made the community -postoffice. | During the day, the teacher handles | the community's business, Sponsellor | goes around among the farmers and} takes charge ‘between school hours. } The children bring vegetables, utter, etggs, poultry. with them when they go to school. Their parents haul wag- onloads of food to the schoolhouse. Sponsellor attends: to the posting | and mailing, pa post. Then the ex-army postal motor trucks appear, Food Is Loaded On Army Trucks. | The community's products are load-| ed in them and the trip to the other end of the solution is started. In a few hours, the trucks appear at the Park View schoolhouse, in Washington. The Park View community elected | their own agent, J. G. McGrath, who) was afterward made postmaster in the schoolhouse postoffice. He gets a salary for his time and work. Park View housewives tell their} children to bring home what they need. That saves delivery costs, On aSturdays, the big marketing day. | children market baskets to the school house. = Two Taverns, a food producing cen- ter, sells by the community plan; jew, a food-consuming center, the community plan. This for less cost of distribution, less waste and gives food to consum- ers at a lower price than under the} old system, and, at the same time, pays higher prices to the producers. The United States postoffice de- partment has organized to operate} four motor trucks out of Washington. | These are the first two schoolhouses to ‘be used as postoffices, and the first of the 20,009 army trucks which will be used on, these motor truck routes is now running between them.
