MAILBOX
IMPROVEMENT WEEK
FIRST WEEK IN MAY
Patrons   Urged   To   Cooperate
By Having Boxes In
Good Condition
The Post Office Deparment has designated the first week of May as Rural Mail Box Improvement week.
Rural mail boxes which are not
properly erected or which are not in
good, serviceable condition retard the
delivery of mail and expose it to damage from the elements.
It is the desire of the Department
to encourage patrons of the rural delivery service to provide suitable mail
receptacles and to erect them in such
manner that they will be readilly accessible to the carrier and present a
neat appearance.
It is especially desirable that the
boxes be maintained in a condition
that will assure proper protection to
mail placed therein, that the names
of box owners be inscribed on the
side of the boxes visible to the carrier
as he approaches them, and that the
boxes and their supports be kept
painted.
Patrons who have unapproved boxes
of top-opening, revolving-door or other
type are not required to discard them
provided the boxes have been in use
by the present owners for several
years and are maintained in good serviceable condition. Any boX.es not of
the present standard type which are
of such design that they cannot*be
properly served by the carrier from
Jjis Vehicle or aro in such condition
as not to protect the mail should be
replaced with boxes of the standard
types. Boxes, regardless of type,
should, of course, bo of such design
and such condition that there will be
no liklihood of the carrier's being injured when serving them.

Farley - Tubbs; of the educational
division of the Department of Conservation* as speaker, drew a,very amusing picture fn words; of a typical tourist or visiting hunters, who is henpecked at home for a year and domin-
j ated and bossed on his job and in his
home. Then as he comes over the hill
south of Clare gets a glassy look in
his eye and becomes a very tough
fellow bent on having Bis own way.
He then driveB eighlty miles an
hour in his car, insults waitresses,
throws tin cans and garbage all over
the woods, imbibes tpo freely at the
local tavern and is very resentful of
anyone who gets in his way as he
tries' to bag the grandfather of all
bucks.
A beautiful movie, "Hunting in Alaska", was shown. This picture was
loaned by the Nash Motors Co.
Eighty-six valuable prizes all donated by the merchants of Clare, were
awarded as the highlight of the evening's entertainment.
The committee wishes to thank all

Cities Service Oil Co, is introducing
at Its service stations this month the
new Premium Koolmotor motor oil,
one of the first products to come from
the f-2 million Cit-Con lube plant at
Lake Charles, La.
Wholly new, the Cit-Con plant represents the latest development in design and technology. The plant utilizes the "heart?cut" process, Whereby
only the choice elements found in carefully-selected lubricating oil crudes
are refined into lube oil stocks. Out
of 18,000 barrels* of charging stocks
I'eceived at the plant daily, otily 6,06o
barrels of "heart-cut" are processed.
The Cit-Con luba oil stocks aire
blended at Cities Service, Oil Co's Pon-

motor oils. Chicago will be another
blending point when,the $4 million
compounding plant there is completed
early this summer. Cit-Con lubes will
be barged from Lake Charles tip the
Mississippi and its tributaries to Chicago, where they will he Wended. In
addition to Premium Koolmotor,
Michigan towuships, blessed by $26,-
798,834 in sales tax diversion money
to date, are going to the rescue of
mufl-mired rural roads;
During 1949, in 68 of the 83 Michigan counties, township boards transferred to county road commissions a
total of $3,150,000 under provisions of
Public Act No, .34, 1948 special legislative session,
, During the'fiscal year ending June
30, 1949, townships received a total of
$19,170,760 in state sales tax revenues,
diverted to townships under the sales
tax diversion amendment.
Thus it is clear that approximately
34 percent of the state sales tax distributed to townships in 1949 was
transferred to county road commissions to improve rural highways.
It is equally clear also that millions
of dollars are accumulating in the
treasuries of township boards to be
expended for public services.
The records of Auditor General Murl
Aten show that sales tax collections
from December, 1946, to June 30,1947,
brought a total of $4,384,723 to Michigan townships.
This amount was doubled in the
following fiscal year to $8,635,676.
For the past fiscal year, ending June
30, 1949, the rising tide of sales tax
revenue to townships rose to an all-
time high Ot $9,170,760.  ,,
As of December 31, 1949, Michigan
townships had received a total of $26,-
798,834 from the sales tax revenue at
Lansing to be used for township needs.
Act Number 34 of the Public Acts
of 1948, approved by the Governor on
May 10, 1948, provides that "a township may appropriate any unexpended
balances in the contingent or general
fund of the township for the maintenance and/or improvement of township
roads, streets and alleys taken over as
county roads pursuant to the provisions of this act."
The law goes on to state that such
action can be taken "without submitting the question to the electors of
said township."
If the rural township roads are in
need of immediate improvement, offi-
cials of your township board would be
interested in your recommendations.
There may be money in the bank to
make it possible for the county road
commission to send out a crew at once.
