The first human hands to touch that
letter were those of Miss Diane Scali,
of Providence, Rhode Island.
AS Miss Scali stepped toward the
slot ofthe red, white and blue mailbox
nearest her, she stepped, symbolically,
closer to the goal envlsioned in Pres
ident Eisenhower's words (made per-
manent on the Providence Post Office
walls): The development of better
mail handling equipment and tech
nlqueS is the continuing aim Of the
United States Postal Service. AS a pio-
neer in its field, the Providence Post
Office will add honor to this tradition.
You see, it was Miss Scali's home
town that had, two years earlier, been
chosen as the locale Of the first fully
automated post office in this land.
Shortly before, 1T, the international
communications and electronics or

During the above three general
stages, many other involved things
happened to Miss Scali's letter before
it finally got to Miss Joan Olson,
addressee of this historic letter.
Suffice it, Miss Olson got the mes

bridesmaid) and she got it fast faster
than ever before possible in the us.
