Postmaster Warren In referring to the
city slogan In Detroit, Life Is Wortl
Living said that our people believed

expresses the attitude of the business
public toward the Sunday post office
closing. There Is no logical reason
for the delivery OF general mail on
Sunday. The man who receives 1t
cannot answer letters because his own
office force will not be on duty I'M
al Monday morning. Taking the mail
from the post office, carrying ii TO
