Show Vol. 57 No. 43 Thursday, April Fifteen Cents 13, 1978 Spring Range Rides Held Ten members of a Natural Resources class at North Sevier High School were among the persons participating in five spring range rides conducted in the area by Bud C. Camp, conservation officer for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. Class instructor, Ron Dailey, accompanied his students, the first in the course, a new offering in the vocational-agriculturprogram, on the ride in e the Triangle Mountain-BlacMountain area. Five rides were conducted during the past week, with representatives from the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management participating as well as sportsmen and interested citizens. In addition to inventorying the winter ranges, inforrides provide first-hanmation on how the ranges are managed and how harvest recommendations are deterk Post Office Extends Rural Delivery Service In Salina Rural type mail delivery has been extended to Meadowbrook Drive, in the Sunnybrook development in Salina, according to Postmaster Arlen L. Madsen. The type of service made available is where two rural-typmail boxes are installed on alternate property lines. This enables the mail carrier to serve two homes with one stop, the same type of service granted to the Valley Drive subdivision e last year. As our city continues to grow, the number of city deliveries increases, and the time required to make these deliveries also increases, With the inMadsen said. stallation rural-typof mailboxes on the street, the carriers would be able to absorb a lot of the increase. Several of our Salina Postal e customers already have installed this type of mail box, and we want to thank them for service, he continued. The carrier is not allowed to make their cooperation There are a number of advantages both to the Postal Service and the postal customer to placing the mail box on the street, rather than on the house, according to the postmaster Our two carriers have close to 400 stops each, he ex- collections from a house mail box unless there is mail for the family. With the rural mail box, the customer can place his mail for collection in the mail box, raise the flag on the box, and the carrier is required to collect plained They have to stop, climb out of the vehicle, walk up to the door, make the delivery, and get back into the vehicle This is repeated about 400 times each day, and takes a lot it Another item to be considered in favor of the rural-typ- e mail box is protecting the mailman from dog bites. Most of the dog bites inflicted on mail carriers take place on teh customer's property, the postmaster said. With the mail boxes on the street, the more time than where the postal customer provides us with the rural type mail box, Madsen contended The street mail box is large enough to deliver the mail with ease and safety, whereas the house boxes are smaller and many times will not hold all the mail. One advantage to the customer in having the street box is in the mail collection his vehicle, giving him extra protection from dogs. We would like Salina residents who have mail boxes on their homes to give serious thought to changing to the rural mail box on the street, Madsen concluded. carrier seldom leaves e d Lions J.B.
