Set For June 3-16 Postmaster General Arthur E.

Summerfield called attention to­day to the Annual Rural Mail Box Improvement Program to be ob­served for two weeks starting June 3.

Here are some points that will be stressed during the Rural Mail Box Improvement Program this year:

1. Where boxes are improperly e rected or in unserviceable con­dition, patrons will be encouraged to provide suitable receptacles , erected and maintained for easy and safe accessibility, presenting a neat apperance, and affording protection to the mail.

2. Box holders will be urged to paint their boxes and box supports where needed.

3. Box owners will be urged to inscribe their names clearly on that side of the box which is clearly visible to the carrier as he approaches, if they have not already done so.

4. :Postmasters _and rural car­riers will enlist the cooperation of patrons to group boxes to-

1 gether at one site along the road

I wherever practicable.

5. Box holders will be asked to make sure boxes are located on the proper side of the road.

The proper side of the road in the direction the carrier drives when covering his route, unless the locality is such that it does not present a hazard or a ' violation of law for the carrier to cross to the left side of the road to make the delivery.

Mr. Summerfield noted that programs such as Rural Mail Box Improvement "have been of tre­mendous benefit in assuring safe ?elivery of the mails, and in help­ing to beautify rural America."

"We used not to know much about world affairs back in In­diana- an international situation to us was the speed traps in Ohio!"

Calcite, Michigan, is the lead­ing world port in shipment of lime­stone; Grand Haven in sand and grevel; and Alpena in cement.

GIVING YOlJR DOG MEDICINE

by Dr. E. M. Gildow D!rector, Frisktes Research Kennels

Home care of dogs alter init· la! treatment by a veterlnarian may require administration o! medicines. You will probably find this easier if you have an. other person to help you.

11 your dog is large, it is best to seat him In a corner, so that he can't back away. If

Dog of I.he Week: SAMOYED

Ai·erage u:eight: 55 pounds; Height al shoulder: 21 inches; Cotti: thick, sq/I, short 1111dercoaJ1

you are alone sit in a chair and seat the dog between your knees facing away from you. Smaller dogs are best treated by sitting them broadside to you on a table. Handle the dog gently to prevent him from becoming ex­cited.

I! t,he medicine is in pill form, open the dogs mouth and push the pill or capsule back over the base of the tongue, then hold his mouth. closed until he swallows.

In administering liquids, the dog's mouth should not be OP· ened in this fashion. Instead, hold his chin with your right hand so that the muzzle is ele· vated slightly. Slide the thumb or fingers of your left hand between his lips to the angle where the lower and upper lips join. Pulling out this corner makes a pocket between the lips and teeth into which the liquid may be poured, a little at a time, so that it may be cornlortably swallowed. lf the dog holds the medicine in his mouth, rub his throat gently to make him swallow.

For greater ease in adm inis· tration, the liquid should be given from a small bottle rather than a spoon .

• • • Feeding Tip: Don't make a

practice of feeding your dog tidbits between meals. It can spaU his appetite or make h im fat. The proper use of such morsels Is as a reward when you're training your pet.

For good carpt under shade- the driver's seat. Japanese pachysandra· and carpet bugle.

If you're interested in shrubby ground covers, here are some ideas:

For year-ar ound foliage under shady conditions- common winter­creeper euonymus and Hall Japa­nese honeysuckle. Creeping juni­per provides year-around foliage under sunny conditions.

F o r deciduous foliage- Indian coralberry unde r shade and fra­grant sumac under sunny situa­t ions.

All these shrubby covers are over one foot in height except the creeping juniper which is under six inches.

Spacing of these pla nts will de­pend on their matur e size. As a g e n e r a 1 rule, they should be pla nted about as far apart each way as they grow in height.

Ma t pla ntings for ground cover purposes require severa l years of growth to become thick and ca r­pet like, Cox points out. He a lso says t hat some good ground cover plants should be put in "confine­ment" so to speak because of their creeping habit of growth. Bordering or surrounding them with walks, driveways or walls will help keep them under con­trol.

Cox suggests tha t you consult a r eputable local nurseryman in de­ciding which ground covers might be best suited for your needs .
