WANTS R. E. D. MAIL
 ON HOLIDAYS. "RuraI GrumbIer" Writes to New York Paper from Norwich Town.

Rural Grumbler,'' writing from Norwich Town to a New York paper of Monday, says:
 Another holiday is nearing-it falls on Saturday. too-and carriers on rural free delivery routes in the nation are entitled to a holiday. This means that people served on such routes must go without newspapers or mail from the the following Monday morning-72 hours. This is a hardship in many ways, the one weak spot in our United States postal service.
 It is perfectly proper for the hard worked regular carriers to have their day off. but thousands in every state want their mail and do not wish to wait 72 hours for 1t.
 Under the old conditions. i. e., those of small villages or town postofhces, 1t would have been easy for one neisheor to drive to the office during the hour 1t is open on Memorial day and get the mail for his locality. Under the new regime, however. three or four small offices are eliminated, and service is from one central point, in some large city office. Carriers drive over routes 24 or 28 miles long, so that 1t IS man. festly impossible for patrons to get to the main office during the hours it is opened on that day.
 Saturday is a busy day in the coun- try; but with Sunday the rural folk
 
 papers and letters means cruel and unnecessary deprivation. Again, mer- chants whe depend on mail order busi- ness are heavy losers. since many city stores make a point of offering special Monday bargains. Then, too. letters held over 4S CT 58 CT 72 hours may con- tain messages of life or death, impor- tant business orders. ct al.
 Now, nobedy would besruage the regular carriers their holiday; but the whole people have some rights in the premises. Since nc congressman ap- pears eager to win the plaudits and eternal gratitude of his constituents, It seems up to the newspapers te start crusade te have this crying evil cor rected. This can be done simply and easily. By all means give the men a day of, but let their substftutes-who won't balk at an extra days pay drive over their routes on the holiday. With the money the postofiice depart ment is making on parcel post it can we'll afford to stand the strain Of hay ing hundreds of thousands of patrons along rural routes served by this si1n- pie means. Heavy though the burden of rural taxes. 1t is safe to wager that if the postofIfce department considers itself too poor not single suburoanite would demur paying out of his own pocket, to be able to secure his papers before the news he'd grown messy, and his mail when it Is of some use
