POSTAL IMPROVEMENT
WEEK IS OBSERVED
May l Sees Inaugurated First
General Campaign of
Kind in Service.

without the Postal Service, business
would languish In day, and be at
standstill in a week. Public opinion.
would die Of dry rot. Sectional hatred
or prejudice only would flourish. and
narrow-mindedness thrive.
It Is the biggest distinctive business
In the world and 1t comes nearer to the
innermost interests of greater num-
Der of men and women than any other
institution on earth. No private busi-
ness, however widespread, touches 30
many lives so often or sharply; no
church reaches into so many souls,
lutters 80 many pulses, has 80 many
human beings dependent on its min
istrations.
"Postai Improvement Week" has
been set for May 1, by the Postmaster
General. This is the first general cam
paign of Its kind In the Postal Service
for several decades. Business men
and their organizations, large users OF
the mall newspapers, motion pictures,
advertisers, and the entire organiza-
ton of $4,000 postal workers are to be
enlisted in this countrywide campaign
Of interest in postal improvements.
Your help is vital. Address your let
| tiers plainly with pen or typewriter.
| Give street address. Spell out name
of State, don't abbreviate. Put your
return address In the upper left hand
l
and always look at your letter before
dropping in the mail to see II It Is
properly addressed. This care In the
use of the mails is for your benefit and

IT is not creditable to this nation

Evidence is available to show that
not only are the sick treated shame
fully by their government, but that
the disabled cannot get their COM

great economic, money-saving Con-
gress, has not appropriated suffici-
ent funds.

ing the last two months the British
