O. Walton, postmaster, by the postal inspector who recently conducted a survey to determine if the city is eligible for home deliv ery. This report, prior to being sent to the Postal Department in Wash ington, suggested that fallen street markers be replaced, that a sur vey be taken throughout the areas to receive the home deliveries to determine whether or not the citi zens wanted to have the service, and that a new entrance to the post office at the North Gate be con structed or the old one be kept open at all times. Rapid Reply Requested The College Station Chamber of Commerce has mailed out question naires to the residents to determine how many would be in favor of home delivery seiwice. An early count of cards returned showed that out of 70 people, only 16 were against the delivery to the home. President of the Chamber of Commerce Joe Sorrels issued a plea for all residents to return their questionnaire as soon as possible so the report my be turned in to Postmaster Walton. “Should the city receive the home delivery service, the following areas would be entitled to this aid: North Local Baylorites Post Straight A’s Two local students attending Baylor University registered straight “A” records in their class es during the Winter quarter, an nounced Dean Monroe S. Carroll of Baylor University. Harold Edwing Bates, junior from College Station, and Ann Elizabeth Chambless, sophomore from Bryan, are among the 60 men and 60 women to be included on the list. This list of 120 students is one of the largest in Baylor’s history, Dean Carroll said. HELD OVER— “Call Me Mister” FRIDAY & SATURDAY FIRST RUN —Features Start— 1:40 - 3:20 - 5:00 - 6:40 8:20 - 10:00 NEWS — CARTOON Gate, College View, College Hills, Oakwood, and Southside,” said Walton. To put the proposed service into action, the post office would need to hire two substitute carriers and one reserve carrier. These men will be selected from a register contain ing the names of qualified personel. One Daily Delivery There would be one residential mail delivery per day beginning at 8 aim. with an additional delivery made to the business sections of the 1 city in the afternoon. Because the mailmen are required by law to carry only 25 pounds of mail at one time, collection boxes _ would be placed in strategic sections of the city to facilitate speedier pick-up serice. The postmen would carry out the full duties of a regular rural car rier in that they would sell stamps and cany postal money order ap plications. Residents would com plete the forms and. return them to the postman along with the money and will receive their receipts the following day. “Residents will have to comply with postal regulations before they will be allowed to have the delivery service,” said Walton further. “Regulations require that each! house must be properly numbered and that regulation mail boxes must be erected in the front of each residence to receive delivery,” he continued. City Manager Raymond Rogers reports than several sections of the city have been re-numbered and that residents have been notified Senior Hort Major Wins $100 Award Billy Bob Bates, senior Horticul ture major from Edinburg was selected winner of the fifth an nuel $100 Burpee Seed Company Award at a recent Horticulture Society meeting. He was selected as the most out standing Horticulture major by a committee of Horticulture profes sors compose^ of Fred Brison, H. C. Mohr and Robert F. Cain. The selection was made after consider ing the records of all junior and senior Horticulture majors with emphasis on scholastic records, grade points, and extracurricular activity. Other requirements that had to be met were credit in Horticulture 321 or 322 and Genetics 301. of the change. “If citizens do not know their present address, they may find out by contacting the Col lege Station City Hall,” added Rogers. “The city is making an effort to replace all missing street markers and is presently constructing new cement markers to replace older temporary street signs,” he fin ished. “It is not known definitely wheth er or not the city will receive resi dential mail delivery service but if it should, the Postal Department will set the date when the service will begin,” concluded Walton.
