Gilbert Opposes Free
Village Neil Delivery

WASHINGTON Representative
Ralph Gilbert. Of Kentucky. agrees
with Postmaster General Hays that IL
Is advisable TO abolish the free deliv-
cry service in villages. Speaking on
this subject. he said;
"The business Of the government Is
10 large that a little item Of $780,
900 seems 80 inconsequential that We
pass right over IL. and the tendency
among those who are TO receive
benefits 10 accept them Is so great
that we often permit ourselves to
pursue an erroneous policy. Now. !
live in one o. these villages. have
three or four towns In my district
that are seeking this delivery. and
yet eandor eompels me to say that
there Is nothing more savoring Of lux
ury and less Of necessity than this.
In the town in which live and In
which I get my mail by city or viii
lage delivery ! do not even have a
box. We 40 10 the postofice and
get our mail. Why? For many
reasons. We are closer 10 the post
office than the average farmer is TO
his mail box. Besides. II is a social
opportunity to 40 to the postoffiee.
We rather like to gather there with
the boys and girls at mail time and
get the mail know that We do
not need IL. and. therefore. although
! win be a beneficiary Of il. as said
In the outset, candor eompels me to
say that there Is no necessity for II
In my district. and think the same
Is true over the entire country"
