Post office regulations state that thr schedule of clerks and carriers must be based upon mail train schedules in or der to maintain the most expeditious de livery and dispatch of malls. Postal laws 2lso require to arrang: schedules for all clerks and carrfers o a basis of 8 hours' labor within 10 con- secutive hours. Hence all men who report at 5.30 a. m. must be through at 3.30 p m. Regarding the public having to ‘gobhble their supper to get to the post office Ba- fore 6.20 p. m. the postal men have to goblle their breakfasts to get on the jol at 5.30 and 6 a. m.. and the night men do not have opportunity to get their sup- per until 7 or after. In regard to the man who returns a‘ 7.30 p. m. to put up the mail for the boat train at 7.56 p. m.. this mail clos- ed at 6.30 p. m. and is carried to the station before 7. p. m. if-possible. The idea that any man should come in a‘ 7.30 p. m. to dispatch the mail on th 7.56 p. m. train is evidence of lack of i'nowledge of the mail business, as i | regularly requires from 45 minutes fc ame hour or morz to prepare this mail lo liepateh.

While ex-service men have not been nterviewed in any number by Captain F. Q. Armington, there is a feeling that ‘nite a few of the men who may now be -s;zardtd as veterans of the world war 1 want to get back into the guard jervice. This always has been the rule nd is likely to apply at this time, Captain Armington said Friday after- ~oon that he expects to confer with Cap- ‘ain Dennison of Norwich, where an% other coast artillery platoon is being or- Tanizes Fifty men will be _enlisted here, if this is possible. Recruiting for the new organization will begin in Dan- felson and the surrounding towns within a few days. For the present the state guard com- oany here will be kept intact, but it is expected that this organization will pass out of existence by fall, by which time it ig likely that the coast arfillery organi- zation will have been formed here, The new company will offer opportunity for service men to get ratings of corporals and sergeants almost at the outset. It is likely that some state guard company members will re-enlist in the coast artil- lery. These with the world war veterans that will go in should enable Danielson ‘o get 50 men required in short order. || Later perhaps next year, the new com- pany likely will be expanded to 100 men.
