20 Out of 22 Vote c Ye^
College Station Residents
Favor Home Mail Service
By FRANK DAVTS
Battalion Staff Writer
College Station residents ap
pear to be in favor of house-to-
house mail delivery.
At least, 20 out of 22 persons
asked that question yesterday were
in favor of the measure which may
provide “free” mail delivery to all
houses within the corporate city
limits.
Two carriers, if the program is
authorized, will make daily deliv
eries except on Sundays and holi
days to all College Station homes,
according to N. C. Holland, sup
erintendent of mails.
“There are crowded traffic con
ditions and a lack of parking
space at the North Gate host
Office. People who live in College
Hills and South College Park
sometimes have trouble getting
mail.” These were some of the
arguments in favor of house-to-
house mail delivery.
“The situation in College Sta
tion does not justify increased
government expenditure said the
only opponent of the measure.”
One person refused to comment,
and another said the free deliv
ery was something people of Col
lege Station were entitled to and
should have.
In a recent survey conducted by
the Chamber of Commerce, local
residents favored the program four
to one. Opinions were obtained
from 4G per cent of the population,
Plate Association
Places New Order
Another 300 dozen Regular Edi
tion of Texas A&M commemorative
plates have been ordered, and de-
liverey is assured within s i x
months, P. L. “Pinky” Downs, Jr.,
’06, president of the Commemora
tive Plate Association, has an
nounced.
The plates are being made by
Josiah Wedgwood and Sons, Ltd.,
of Etruria, England.
Each one-dozen order of the
plates, toned in maroon and white
from hand engravings on copper
and facsimilied on ivory Queens-
ware, contains a picture of 12
different early campus buildings.
Borders of the plates were designed
by the Architecture and Landscape
Arts Departments, and depict each
military branch of the college.
Building views included in each
set of 12 plates are G'athright
Hall, Civil Engineering Building,
S b i s a Hall, Academic Building,
Guion Hall, Agriculture Building,
Kyle Field Stadium, Cushing Me
morial Library, Walton Hall, Ad
ministration Building, Veterinary
Hospital, and the Chemistry Build
ing.
The commemorative plates may
b e ordered immediately from
Downs at Box 4784, College Sta
tion, Texas.
according to J. II. Sorrels, presi
dent of the Chamber of Commerce.
Cards were sent to all persons
paying for utilities in College Sta
tion, Sorrels said. This means that
someone at every house was asked
to express an opinion, he added.
“Since a lot of people obtain
my address from the telephone
directory, house delivery would
help me,” said Harry L. Boyer,
chief of housing at A&M.
“As for me, I’m 100 per cent
College Station
Lion’s Hear
Librarian Talk
Mike Krenitsky, assistant
librarian of Cushing Memor
ial Library, was guest speak
er yesterday at the weekly
noon luncheon of the College
Station Lion’s Club.
Talking on “Library Facilities in
College Station as a Community,”
Krenitsky pointed out the library
services available to the people of
College Station.
Bryan Public Library, A&M Con
solidated High School Library, and
Cushihg Memorial Library at A&M
are the three places which resi
dents of this community may ob
tain books and other tjpies of lit
erature, the speaker said.
“Real money needs to be spent
on children’s books for the local
schools,” the librainan commented,
“and already the Educational Com
mittee of the Chamber of Com
merce and the Campus Study Club
have gone a long way to help
meet some of the monetary de
mands of purchasing new books.”
The AAUW plans to make a
survey soon to decide where and
how much money needs to be spent
to bring the Consolidated library
up to date, he added.

for it,” was the response received
from J. C. Culpepper. He added
that driving across the campus to
get mail, endangering the lives of
pedestrians, would be eliminated.
“Since my husband is with the
extensiocn service and is frequently
out of town with the car, I some
times hjave trouble getting the
mail,” cofmmented Mrs. C. H. Bates.
The idea of delivery only once
a day atad none on Sunday caus
ed two people concern. Mrs. J.
B. Baty mentioned the lack of a
Sunday delivery. Les Richardson,
superintendent of A&M Consoli
dated Schools, said a disadvan
tage was the fact that mail would
he delivered only once a day.
R. B. Halpin suggested that
the program was sound. He rea
soned that the traffic at North
Gate was dense, and that husbands
go out of town, leaving the wives
at home without mail.
Dr. A. A. Price stated this was
a service the community needs.
K. A. Maiming introduced the
idea of benefiting people who live
some distance from the Post Of
fice.
Mrs. William J. Dobson said it
was inconvient to go for the mail
at the post Office.
Others in favor of the plan
were Mrs. R. Y. Elkins, George
B. Wilcox, Mrs. R. B. Hook,
Ernest Langford, Dr. W. A.
Boney, and Mrs. E. E. Ames.
If the public opinion favors the
program, it is expected to go into
effect around the first of July,
said Holland.
