Show Postmaster Asks Patrons to Take Pride In Mail Boxes - Clean-up and Fix-up for Spring When people think of hous--cleanlng, their minds turn instinctively in-stinctively to spring. Renewal of life and renewal of property go hand in hand. "With the postal service it's much the same," says Postmust-er Postmust-er Rulon S. Wood. 'Though we like to keep people conscious all year round of the need for proper mail-receiving equipment, we put special emphasis on cleanup clean-up and fix-up projects in the spring when the public is especially espec-ially In the mood." Next to the people who live there, no one comes to anyone's home as often as the mailman. And few calls are more important import-ant than those the mailman makes. To the success of our business bus-iness and social lives, his visits are indispensable. If the containers into which carriers put people's mail were related in looks, safety, adequacy, adequa-cy, and otherwise to the value of their contents, only first quality receptacles would be used. But unfortunately this is not so. People Peo-ple put up all sorts of odd things cigar boxes, oil cans, cheese boxes, box-es, coffee tins, etc. And they put them in odd places where they are not immediately visable and easily accessible to the carrier.

And correct it now. if you have questions ques-tions call your Postmaster. |
