Highway Postoffice
Goes Into Service
The Southwest's first highway
post office will make its inaugural
run between Dallas and Denison,
on Monday, May 9.
L. C. Burch, Jr., vice president
of Continental Southern Lines,
low bidder for operating the serv-
ice for the Post Office department,
said this week that work of con-
verting a standard 35-passenger
inter-city coach into a highway
post office has been completed.
To mark the inaugural run,
there will be ceremonies in all of
the eleven communities to be
sferved by the bus. These include
Dallas, Richardson, Piano, Allen
McKinney, Melissa, Anna, Van
Alstyne, Howe, Sherman and
Denison. ' * •
The bus will leave Dallas at
9:30 a.m. following a ceremony
at the Terminal Annex Building.
Accompanying the bus will be
postmasters, other postal authori-
ties, city and county officials,
newsmen and bus executives.
Postmaster J. H. Payne of Dallas
has announced that August C.
Hahn, director of transportation
of the Post Office department, i
will come to Dallas from Wash-
ington, D. C. to help install the
new service.
In regular service, beginning
May 10, the highway post office
will make 2 round trips between
the North Texas cities on week-
days and one trip on Sundays,
leaving Dallas at 3:45 a.m. on the
first trip and 1:45 a.m. on the
second. Denison is 75 miles north
of Dallas.

Cherokee Service Station
W. M. Vining
Mail will be sorted by clerks as
the bus moves along and dropped
off at the various post offices.
The bus replaces a mail coach
operated on the now-discontinued
Texas Electric interurban.
In converting the bus, Burch
said two feet were added to the
length of it. Two large doors
were cut in the sides of the bus,
and an additional row of small
windows was added above the reg-
ular windows to admit more light.
Comfort features for the mail
clerks include a foldaway wash
basin and a built-in water cooler.
The interior of the bus is paint-
ed white and light green. The ex-
terior has a white top, blue sides,
and wide red band around it with
the letters "U. S. Mail Highway
Post Office" in gold on the red
band.
The coach was remodeled ac-
cording to Post Office department
specifications.
It will be driven by Continental
Southern Lines operators.
Stamp collectors and others are
invited to send letters to any of
the eleven post offices that the
bus will serve, to be held for
first-day cachets on the inaugural
run. Letters may be addressed by
the senders to themselves, Payne
BEES POLLINATE
WHITE CLOVER
The bees start the job of har-
vesting the clover seed and the
farmers finish it.
It's up to the bee6 to pollinate
the clover blossoms. Then three
weeks later, the seed matures,
says Robert R. Lancaster, exten-
sion pasture specialist of Texas
A. & M. College. When about 75
per cent of the heads are brown,
the clover crop is ready for har-
vest. One beehive per acre in or
near a patch of white clover will

increase seed production.
A very satisfactory method of
harvesting is to cut the white or
hop clover with mower when the
seed is mature, but before shat-
tering starts. Rake it at once with
a side-delivery rake, or use a
buncher attached to the mower
cutter-bar.'
A dump rake doesn't work very
well with clover, says Lancaster,
but may be used if light dumps
are made. Cure the hay in the
windrow, and turn it over if rain
comes. After two or three days it
should be ready to iiulr. A com-
bine with pick-up attachment is
recommended for hulling. A
threshing machine with huller at-
tachments, or a clover huller may
also be used.
Otherwise, clover seed can be
saved in the chaff by cutting and
curing, then thrown roughly
from a wagon to the floor or a
clean space 011 the ground. Beat
it with forks and shake it as the
straw is thrown off. This leaves
the chaff behind, and the seed
in the chaff can be handled in
large bags and seeded by hai)d or
mixed with barnyard fertilizer
and spread.

Lancaster says the simplest
method of saving clover seed is
in the hay. Tne crop may be rak-
ed or bunched as for threshing,
then scattered as thinly as possi-
ble over the land to be seeded.
Or, the hay can be cured and
stored in the barn for spreading
out later on in the early part of
the fall, concludes the pasture
specialist.

ADDING THE
THAT MEANS SAFETY
You can't see it...you can't smell it. Natural
gas is odorless and colorless as it comes from the
well. In the interest of safety, a telltale odor must be
added to your gas as it enters the local distribution mains.
Small quantities of a special type of liquid are added to
the gas, so even the smallest leak may be discovered.
The odorization of gas is one of many functions of the
United Gas system...all of which have the ultimate
purpose of assuring a continued safe, dependable
supply of natural gas to our customers.
UNITED GAS . .
Serving the
. 'kfy
I .in..... ! I.I&
Three g«n«ral types of odorft-
ing equipment are used on
United Gas lines. One is th«
•'drip" or "injection" type,
by which small quantities of
malodorant are introduced into
the gas tp add the smell that
means safety.
The second type, comparable
in action to the kerosene lamp,
is one in which a wick carries
the odoranl into the flow of
gai. This is commonly used to
give "individual" protection
to one consumer or a small
group of consumers in subur-
ban areas.
A third type is the absorption
odoriier that serves small
towns. Part of the gas passing
through the lino Is detoured
through a tank where, like a
sponge, it absorbs sufficient
malodorant to odoriie the re*
malnder of the gas.
