The Post Office is finally going
modern, Postmaster Alton L. Britt
ingham of Lewes says and he has
the film to prove it.
The film, Men Mail and Ma
chimes" is an exciting pictorial
presentation of the ned electronic
and super-automatic devices now
being installed in some of the ma
jor post offices of the nation. Post
master Brittingham invites all
civic, church school or social clubs
in this area to contact him if they
are desirous of showing the film
at their meetings.
''The Post Office has been trying
for years to give the public Goth
Century service out of 18th Cen
tury facilities" Birmingham says.
Postmaster General Summerfield,
in attempting to revolutionize the
outmoded techniques of mail hand
ling in the postal establishment, |
had to start from scratch. He had |
to ask the electronics industry to
develop machines that hadn't even |
been invented as yet. This film is
a remarkable presentation of the
progress being made in the United |
States Mail Service"
He added that even if automation
is not installed in the Lewes Post
Office the program will greatly ac-
celerate out of the town mail in
this area because mail will move
far more swiftly through the large
gateway post offices of the country
To obtain this film contact post
master Birmingham, either at the
post office or at his home in Quker-
town, Lewes.
