POST OFFICE DfDICATION On Saturday afternoon, March 15th,1958, recently erected United States Post Office was dedicated. This attractive building was constructed by Mr. Emil Muller who so kindly donated land and services to this worthy cause. The dedication ceremony was held in the Mayer School Auditorium because of the rain. Among the many dignit- aries present was State Senator Charles Orme who acted as Master of Cermonies. Mrs. C. Lessard, our very capable post mistress gave the introductory speech and later was the recipitant of the presentation of a United States flag which had flown over Washington, D.C.
