Post Office Adds Employees Extension of city delivery ser vice last fall has necessitated the addition of another full time car rier at the local post office.

Moose, Postmaster.

The city route left vacant by Mr. Langford’s transfer, together with the new full-time carrier who has been added, resulted in the re assignment of substitutes Frank B. Sligh and Jack O. Goree to re gular full-time carriers, according to the postmaster. Mr. Sligh has been employed at the post office since 1950 and Mr. Goree since January of 1958.
