ON hand as it is to your advant-
age,
Now for the position of boxes
The state law says you must keep
to the right of the road. A rural
carrier can be held for damages
us well as and one eSle if he hits
or is hit by another ear or We
hicle while he is on the left side of
the road, The rural carrier has
no special privilege of the road ex-
cept that no one can wilfully de-
lay the mail. Help the carrier
keep out of trouble, Put your box
on the right side of the road. The
government requires it. Another
advantage in this for the carrier
is that it allows him to keep his
storm curtain up next to him and
protects him from the weather
Your box should be four feet, four
inches high from the wheel track,
and facing the carrier. The gov
eminent is asking everybody to
paint his box white and print the
name on both sides of the box. The
latter is required,
Now that the holidays are close
at hand and you are going to mail
some presents far and near, and
you want them to arrive at their
respective destinations. So please
| help in the matter wrap them in
containers that will protect the
contents. The ordinary paste
board is not sufficient. If they are
worth mailing they are worth
protecting. Ask your carrier S
advice; he sees every day the re-
suits of poor packing Or step in
to the postotfice and ask the post
master.
Here are few simple rules that
will be safe to follow:
Wrap your packages well and
then wrap them again.
Write your name and, address
on card and put it inside of the
package, with the name of the
person to whom you are sending
it. But no other writing ex-
cept seasonal greetings.
Ask your postmaster or carrier
the zone it is in and af1ix sufficient
stamps.
Have your letters or cards
stamped and avoid delay.
Place mail in the box and raise
the signal.
In closing l wish to say that the
carrier is one of the best friends
you have; he is the fellow next to
you. He can gets results for you
that you can not get otherwise be-
cause he knows where to go.
We carriers are human Just like
you, We make mistakes just like
You, not Intentionally, just like
you. We are selected from the
people according to our rating.
We appreciate kind words. The
person who never makes mistakes
is not born, and never will be.
When you consider the million of
pieces that are handled each day
you are very fortunate to receive
your mail as promptly as you do.
