So far, Postmaster Dandoneau has not received official word from the postal department at Washington, and he will not assume his new duties until the government completes arrangements for the new appointee to take over the office.

He had served since the last months of the second Wilson administration.

The new Rhinelander postmaster ranked first in the civil service examination according to an announcement from. Washington a few weeks ago, and his appointment had been anticipated for some time. Mr. Dandoneau is a native of Iron Mountain, but has lived in Rhinelander for the last 19 years. He was-in the automobile business here for some time, and in recent years, las been in the insurance business.

Politically, he is a Democrat and comes from a family of Democrats, rle never has held public office before, however, but was the Democratic nominee for clerk of court of Oneida county at the November, 1932, election. Fraternally, his only affiliation is with the Knights of iblumbus here. He is married and lives at At- antic street.

Verily the hour of decision is an appointed time and the day when the trumphet shall be blown is near." Peter P. Dandoneau, Rhinelander's new postmaster, speaks several foreign languages fluently.
