SUNDAY MAIL

Editor Wood County Reporter:
Is the post office and postal ser
vice made for the people or are the
people made for the postal service?
I used to have no doubt as to the
service being made for the people,
but under the present Postmaster
Generals orders it seems now that

lock on Sunday does not strike me
favorabIy and the arguments Justify
ing it, impress me as pure rot.
Here in this small city of about
Z 900 population we have aside from
five carriers, an office force consist
ing Of a Postmaster drawing a sal
airy of $500 annually, a first assis-
tant at a salary of $1,000, three clerk
at a salary of $11OO each, and one
clerk at a salary of $500, or a total
of $4,000 paid out just for the office
force.
Each of these are allowed fifteen
days annual vacation. None are re
CURED to put in over eight hours
a day in the office, and all of them
look husky and able to do the cruel
ling Cd work required of them.
The Sunday work of distributing
the mail arriving at about 11:30 a. m.
has heretofore required the attend
ance of three of the office force for
about two hours. This two hours Of

so that at least one-half of the force

proposed to make a sufficient deIiv-
cry of the mail so that newsdeaIers
will get their papers and special de-
livery letters will be delivered and
emergency letters, of which the post
master is required to be notified the
day before, may be delivered. and al
so mail in care of hotels. Thus IN
