Air Parcel Post
Service Expected .
By September 1st
The advent of speedier nationwide
— worldwide air parcel post service
September 1 brings back to minds of
old-timers the introduction of similar
surface operation^ 35 years ago. It
was in 1913, according to Postmaster
Frank Jackson, that parcel post first
made its appearance in the United
States.
The service at that time was established primarily to aid farmers and
hamlets, located off the beaten paths,
in expediting their products to market and, in turn, receiving sorely
needed goods from larger cities. However, mail order houses and other
establishments were quick to realize
its vaiue.
Transportation facilities in those
days were still slow and tedious.
Motor-driven vehicles were few and
the roads which they traversed Were
frequently impassable. Too, trains
were giving off more sparks and
smoke than speed, There were no
commercial planes in those days,
either, and only the foolhardy vis-
iohed the rapid approach ol'this Air
Age.
Then it took days to transport parcel post packages across the country.
Some parcels were forced to go by
Virtually every movable conveyance
before they reached their destination
From that modest beginning, parcel
post has grown to become an integral
cog in the far-flung American postal
operations. Its annual poundage,
keeping step with the progress of
transportation, has soared from a
few million to billions of pounds of
assorted commodities.
S;till determined to employ the
fastest means of transportation to
I iiiove the mails, the Post Office De-
• partment will add the link necessary
to give the United States the world's
most highly specialized doorstep delivery service with the launching of
. the now .nationwide - worldwide air
' parcel post.

Ave years, who has been in failing

for the United States Government
following World War I, His work for
the Austin Company has taken him

resided for several years, although
maintaining their Clare home at the
time.

Athletic Field Being
Developed
The Farwell school will open on
Wednesday, September 8. This day
will largely be given over to enrollment and the issuing of books. On
Tuesday September 7, there will be
a teachers' meeting.
There will be very few changes in
the teaching Staff. Mrs. Doyle is not
returning and will be replaced in the
second grade by Mrs. Mary Herzler.
Miss Blazo has resigned her English
position, but her successor has not
yet been chosen. Mrs. Olive Badger
will teach, at L__kO'George.
Returning fctipfis' -will fifid several
changes. The hallways ahd the grade
rooms have been repainted; a new
floor has been put in on the first
floor corridor; the typing room has
been enlarged; an office has been added, and the walls of the basement
class room have been finished in
knotty pine.
A lot of progress has beeh made
in leveling otf the new athletic field
east of the school hojuse. The hauling of a top coating of clay will begin this week end. It is hoped that
the job may be completed this fall
so that the field may be seeded in the
spring and be ready for use in the
fall of81949.
When completed, this should make
an excellent field with "plenty of room
for all sports. The area being leveled off is approximately 360 feet
wide by 700 feet long, with embankments on the south and east side and
end, which should make very desirable vantage points from which spectators may sit in their automobiles
and watch games.

sometimes feel that we are making
progress very 'Slowly, However,
when the year's end rolls-, around and

living and them some more problems

agriculture.

Air Parcel Post Service Expected . By September 1st The advent of speedier nationwide — worldwide air parcel post service September 1 brings back to minds of old-timers the introduction of similar surface operation^ 35 years ago. It was in 1913, according to Postmaster Frank Jackson, that parcel post first made its appearance in the United States. The service at that time was established primarily to aid farmers and hamlets, located off the beaten paths, in expediting their products to market and, in turn, receiving sorely needed goods from larger cities. However, mail order houses and other establishments were quick to realize its vaiue. Transportation facilities in those days were still slow and tedious. Motor-driven vehicles were few and the roads which they traversed Were frequently impassable. Too, trains were giving off more sparks and smoke than speed, There were no commercial planes in those days, either, and only the foolhardy vis- iohed the rapid approach ol'this Air Age. Then it took days to transport parcel post packages across the country. Some parcels were forced to go by Virtually every movable conveyance before they reached their destination From that modest beginning, parcel post has grown to become an integral cog in the far-flung American postal operations. Its annual poundage, keeping step with the progress of transportation, has soared from a few million to billions of pounds of assorted commodities. S;till determined to employ the fastest means of transportation to I iiiove the mails, the Post Office De- • partment will add the link necessary to give the United States the world's most highly specialized doorstep delivery service with the launching of . the now .nationwide - worldwide air ' parcel post. Fred Goodman, a respected resident of this city for the past twenty- Ave years, who has been in failing health for several months, succumbed to illness at his home at 1005 McEwan Street Friday evening of last week. Mr, Goodman was born the son of William H, and Kittie M. Goodman, at Clare, Michigan, October 11, 1887 and passed away here August 20, 1948 at the age of sixty years, ten months and nine days. He attended the Clare Public Schools as a boy, graduated from Saginaw Business College, and had been engaged as an accountant since that time, • • He was united in marriage to Miss Daisley Inman in Chicago, and they made their home there until moving to Detroit, and later to Clare about twenty-five years ago, where they have made their home since. He has been employed by the Austin Company as an accountant for many years, except for a time when he was employed as an accountant for the United States Government following World War I, His work for the Austin Company has taken him to a number of cities, including Astoria, Oregon, .where the Goodmans resided for several years, although maintaining their Clare home at the time. Mr. Goodman has been a member of the Clare Methodist Church since young manhood. He was made a Master Mason in Henry Clay Lodge in New York City, one of the oldest Masonic Lodges in the United States, and later transferred his membership to John Q. |
