Show Our Visit To The Post Office Written by Orpha Anderson We visited the Oak City Post Office. The post mistress, Zella Lovell, talked to us. First they stamp the letters. The stamp cancels the postage stamps and tells the date and the office. The letters cost 3c for each ounce, big letters cost more. The registered register-ed letters have a little slip and every postman who handles the letters must sign the slip. Registered Register-ed letters are seldom lost. Special Delivery letters cost 13c for that stamp and are delivered at once. Parcels must be wrapped carefully. Then they are weighed and the postage figured to where they are going. The letters are tied together and put into the first class mail bag and locked. The parcel post is put into other bags and locked. The mail must go through and Uncle Sam see's that it does. ' |
