    Narberth needs a bigger,anPost Office.Like everyth ing e lse In th e world

    th is borough has grown a lot duringthe last ten yea r s. With the increaseIn the populat ion t he amoun t of incoming a.nd ,1ut-going mall has also increased.Postmaster Haws and his two as

But even the highestgrade efficiency has to slow downwhen it comes In contact with suchp h ~ ' s i c a l limitations as bounll ou r PostOffice.Of COllrse, we're all neighborly andgood natured , apd nJne of us minds

And yet -and yet, it Isfunnier to t al k a nd write about suchexperiences than to have them. .There s ho ul d b e m or e rJom in thePost Office proper, and there shouldbe mor e hoxes and more space for

    the people, particularly at night whenhundreds of men a,nd women cal l f ortheir mail on their way h om e fromw Jrk. The present cramped quartershandicap the postmas ter and his ass is ta nt s. a nd d el ay the people. InsufJiclent space makes for poor service.Narberth has grown beyond its

    present post office. It i s g rowing every day. The amount o f mai l ha,ndlel!and the demand for stamps andmoney orde rs , and th e u se o f the parcels post, increase steadily.Uncle Sam should direct a little ofhis Post Office appropriation towarllNarberth t hi s yea r, and give u s b et tel' and more commodious quart.ers.
