Mr. Logan waa a respected employe
of the Lake Terminal railroad, a division of the National Tube Co., where
ho met death in the discharge ot his
duties. He Is described us a man of
moral hahits and a logical citizen.
Being a home loving man, his happiest luiurs were sport in the companionship of his family, to whose comfort and happinoss he tried always
to add. The untiring love and faith
funless to his children was reflected
in their fuces und vclc«£ which glowed
at   his   approach.
The resignation of the family to
the fate allotted them Is revealed In
the following:
FOREVEn   WITH   THE   LORD
Forever with the Lord!
Father, If 'tis thy will,
The   promise   of   thut   faithful   cord
E'en here to me fulfill.
I
So when my latest breath
Shall rend the veil ln twain
By death I shall escape from d alh,
And life eternal gain.
Knowing as I am  known,       ,
Haw  shall  I love  that word, „
And oft repeat before thy thr.m -•
"Forever with the Lord!"

CARD  OF  THANK8
When changes In the Amherst post-
office are completed, In compliance
with present plans, the town will have
one of the most modern and best
equipped postoffices of Its (lass In the
officials announced today.
Plans for remodeling the postoffice
are complete and have been given the
stamp of approval by the government
Inspectors. Work In the building will
be started SS soon as the necessary
preliminary work is completed by the
Amherst Lumber Co. Plans call for
all partitions and walls to he completed according to measurement-
given, so that when the actual work
of installation is begun, it may be
done ln a minimum of time.
The new blue print calls for a postmaster's office at the front, or northeast corner of the room. The money
order and registry windows will be
changed to a position facing south toward the Idttby. Between these and
the postmaster's office will be the lock
boxes which will be increased over
the present number. Parcel post and
general delivery windows will be
moved around the corner near the
present door which leads Into the distribution und financial room. They
will face east, and just north will be
the drops for letters and papers.
The present rear lobby wall, however, will he moved west several feet.
Call boxs are to be abandoned, as is
being done generally -in compliance
with orders from the department at
Washington.
Other improvements planed ara-.an
Indirect lighting system, standing type
lobby desk, alphabetical parcel post
rack and reflnlehing and redecorating
In general.
Mr. Charles Ebbs, owner of the
building, is installing a new type of
electric sl-iUti for lighting tbe furnace In the morning. This works in
conjunction with a clock and will sturt
Ihe furnace at any time set without
any personal attention. Tlie furnace
is already equipped with an electric
barometer which regulates the heat
within one degree either way of that
desired. Government officials especially commend the heating system
used In the building, saying that it is
better than that employed by any
other postoffice of the village class.
It has a crude oil heuting system.
Due to the lncreused business of the
Amherst postoffice, the new urrange-
ment becomes necessary, and the new
ten-year lease which has Just been
■drawn up justifies Mr. Ebbs in exerting the effort to thus Improve the
building.
