                         THE RADOM POST OFFICE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN SHIMKUS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 14, 1999

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this time to call 
attention to the 125th anniversary of the Radom Post Office. The 
celebration was held on June 16th. Refreshments were served and a 
raffle was held at the end of the day. The post office has been a 
pillar of the community since it was built in 1874. Jane Restoff, the 
current postmaster in Radom, organized the event.
  In small towns like Radom, the Post Office serves not only as a place 
to send letters, it is a place where the community comes together to 
interact. It is an important part of our heritage and must not be 
forgotten.
