The Times

OFF HIS FEET for the first time in 40 years is Claude Acton. Acton retired after 40 years with the Coconut Grove Post Office. And right now, he's enjoying his retirement by lounging on a sofa, putting his feet up and letting his wife puff a pillow under his head.

Grove Post Office Superintendent / He Earns A Rest After 40 Years Of Service

By GRACE WHIPPLE There was a party going on at the Coconut Grove Post Office on a recent afternoon. The party was a tribute to a man and his 40 years of service with "the same company." e man was Claude Acton, superintendent of the Coconut Grove Post Office. "There's nothing like it to make a man feel humble," said Acton, recognizing the tribute given him by employes of his station. Pulling up a chair he began the story of his 40 year career. Came Here In 1923 It started in 1920 when Acton rode the train as a Railway Service worker. He came to Miami in 1923 after working in the Chicago and Cincinnati offices. It was here a few years later that Acton entered the "most educational" part of his career. As a clerk in the Inquiries and complaints Department he learned just how many types of people there are in the world and how to get along with them. In 1927 he became an office foreman. For the past 14 years he has served as Superintendent of the Coconut Grove Post Office where he "really likes it." "Folks here are just like my hometown-kind of homey," said Acton, who claims Worthington, Ind., as his original home. The fact that Coconut Grove serves as a home for some notable personages whose name and money can afford them the privilege of being difficult, makes little trouble for him. Nice People "All the people around here are nice." The rich and poor-the famous and the average pose few problems and complaints for Acton. His own philosophy of life and way of getting along with people are probably the reason. "My philosophy of life," said Acton, "is when my finger points out, my thumb points back. So I can never criticize others without criticizing myself." With many busy years behind him, Acton is looking forward to a more relaxing future. Plans call for taking it easy and visiting some of the far-away places he is used to seeng on packages and letters. Acton will be succceeded by Benjamin F. Fuller, assistant superintendent of the Coconut Grove Station.
