Quality Of Speech
Is What 'Bores'
Women are often accused of talking too much, but us-

that makes a worn, n a bore.
The woman whose conversation isn't of any general
interest and doesn't include everyone present would be a
bore if she cut her conversation down 50 percent.

she opens her mouth because she
neither makes the effort to talk
about something she knows they
are interested in nor makes each
listener feel she is talking directly
to him.
Draws Listeners
Jane talks a lot, but none would
ever call Jane a bore. If she is
talking about a vacation trip, she
gets her listeners' interest by look-
ing directly at first one and then
another, and drawing each in turn
into the conversation by such re-
marks as, "Jim, you would have
loved the place. We said more
than once that we wished you were
along with your camera."
As she talks she isn't so concern-
ed with herself and her own feel-
ings and opinions that she forgets
the special interests of those to
whom she is talking.
Throw The Ball
And she has learned the art of!
throwing the conversational ball'
to someone else, instead of just
stopping when she has had her j

Some 1,300 Rural
Post Offices
Closed In 1954
WASHINGTON, May 22 —UP—
About 1,300 small post offices have
been closed since Postmaster Gen.
Arthur E. Summerfield started his
campaign to improve rural mail
service, a post office spokesman
revealed Saturday.
More closings are in prospect
From January, 1953, when Sum-
merfield took office, to the first oi
this month, 1,277 fourth class of-
fices were eliminated. Their pa
trons now get their mail six times
a week in rural mail boxes. For-
merly they had to go to the post
office
Closing of the offices has brought
"substantial savings" in salaries
and rents, the spokesman said.
Aside from the postmasters and
postmistresses, only a few em
ploycs have lost their jobs, he said
Many are run by women on a part
time basis, and frequently are in
their home or a store where they
work
By consolidating and lengthening
rural carrier routes, the depart-
ing feeling that they are being I ment h!,s needed "relatively few"
talked TO. not AT. (All rights re- new carl|ers to handle the addi
served, NEA Service Inc i tional deliveries, the spokesman
1 I said.
I He said there was "nothing po-
litical'' about closings and there
have been only a few complaints
He said the program was started
for two basic reasons: Population
shifts from some rural areas in
recent years, and better roads
which make it possible for carriers
to cover more territory.
The closed offices represented
about seven per cent of the total of
fourth class stations in existence
when the program started. There
are still about 17.000.
Fourth class offices take in less
than $1,500 a year. Postmaster sal-
aries range from $326.40 to $2,
fill.20, depending upon office re-
ceipts.
The program is continuing, the
spokesman said, and postal inspec-
tors will always make a "careful
investigation" before any office is
closed.

slant —all that says there's action
here, and plenty of it.
Rut just note the name "Century"
emblazoned on its rear fender, and
you can take it as gospel that this is
a performance car of the very first

It's the livest of the live wires —the
highest-voltage Buick in the line.
