Show MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE Delta. Utah. Thurs. Jan. 24, 1957 "Centred Waif By June W. Black Postmaster, Delta, L'tar.. A recent proclamation 'by Postmaster Post-master General Arthur E. Summer-field Summer-field designating Benjamin Franklin's Frank-lin's Birthday, January 17, as Postmasters' Post-masters' Day calls to mind the fact that America has had many distinguished dis-tinguished persons who were postmasters post-masters at one time or another. Everyone knows about Benjamin Franklin, of course, who was not only' our first Postmaster General under the Continental Congress, but was a Colonial Postmaster back as early as 1737, when he was "bout 31 years of age. Other examples were William Brewster of the Pilgrim Fathers, who had been an innkeeper and postmaster in old England some years before he came over on the Mayflower in 1620, and Abe Lincoln, of course, who, as many people know, was the affable postmaster of New Salem, Illinois, back in 1853. So, we postmasters have had some pretty high standards of conduct con-duct established for us over the years. Locally we have had the following follow-ing Postmasters serve in the Delta Office, H. J. McCuIlough from 1908 to 3;31jl912; J. Avery Bishop, 4 111912 to 2 81914: James A. Faust, 2 0;i914 to 6:51922; Clark Allred, 6,6,1922 to 9301934; O. P. Fitzgerald, Fitz-gerald, 1011934 to 52J1938; A. E. Stephenson, 5j3,1938 to 2 15 1940, I went in the next day. Utah Joins BiiKes March r- --v. ....... . ... ,. -. . :., i '? I i. ' - i i fill v, 0 ? ' . f , 1 1 n i v A 6 Senator Arthur V. Watkins of Utah greets Marlene Olsen, 1957 ; Vlarch of Dimes poster girl, at his office in the Nation's Capital ; ind iavites her to visit his state and take part in the March of ; )ime!s1 drive for funds. Marlene, 4, is making a splendid fight back ' o health after being stricken with polio. She shows the senator ! o "finish the job" in the fight against the disease. 1 suppo e, too, that you might say the job ot postmaster has always al-ways been one very close to the people, and postmasters are certainly cer-tainly among the best known of public servants everywhere or at least we postmasters like to think so. And today I believe this roll of postmasters is more important than ever, because more Americans are sending more mail, than ever before. be-fore. We expect it to be some 58 bill- ! ion pieces of mail In this country this year, more than 300 pieces I for every man, woman and child in ,Ameriea, and more mail than the rest of the world combined. Sometimes, though, I wonder wonder whether times have really changed , to much. In the olden days until well along in the last century and even later in a good many places there was no such thing as street, route and box addresses for most people. Whenever anybody sent a letter they addressed it something like this: "To Mr. Smith, Who lives in the Blue House, Next -to the Red Barn, Near the Hog Wallow where Tom Nesbitt's Sow, Suzy, Got Drowned last Year." Well, today, we do have regular addresses for everybody but a lot of people still continue to address ad-dress mail almost as badly as that. For example, some people will confidently plunk a letter in the mail box addressed to "Mr. Smith, City," or some such vague address, and expect us to deliver it. Or they may write the address so carelessly that by comparison hen scratch ing looks as clear as our own fine newspaper here. Well, by now, I suppose you have guessed at my ulterior motives in writing all this, and It's true what I am leading up to, of course, is a plea to patrons to please address ad-dress their mail legibly. If there is any question about your handwriting, hand-writing, as far as legibility is concerned, con-cerned, please print the address. Also, make certain as to the correctness cor-rectness of the address, and as additional insurance that your IMPORTANT IM-PORTANT mail will get where it is supposed to, please print your own name and address on the mall. You may think I am saying all of this merely to make things easier for us at your post office. And, frankly, that is at least partially parti-ally true, because we are anxious to deliver to those intended. True, we often get it delivered even to Mr. Smith, City, but thousands of letters pour into the dead letter offices where they are opened in the hope of finding a clue to the addressee or sender. So please resolve to address your mail correctly and legibly this year. Otherwise, ' the letter that Is lost may be your own.
