We are occasionally asked by persons leaving
for Seventy Work through country districts as
well as towns and cities, if they are allowed to
place LeGOes of Healing, or other Zion literature
in mail boxes. To this we say emphatlcaly, NO.
Mail boxes are for the use Of the mails and no
other purpose. 1t is violation OF the federal law
to place literature of any kind in them and there
is a heavy penalty for doing So There is no OBJ
lection however, to placing literature on the
ground at the foot of the mail box post, if one
desires to do So
Many people are under the impression that the
postage has increased in sending the Leaves OF
Healing and the Theocrat through the mall but
this is not the case with private Individuals The
second-class rate on periodicals and magazines
has increased to publishers; but private individu-
ais can send them through the mail just as cheaply
as ever A copy of the Leaves of Healing can
still be sent anywhere in the United States or
Canada for one cent; or copy OF the Leaves OF
Healing and the Theocrat can be sent together
in the same roll for cent.
