Independence, by ths way, seems to be peculiarly an Amer ican trail. Our forefathers founded ihe colonies to gain Indepenrence from the opprssslon which was their lot In the mother country; the Declaration of Independence, which was signed 144 years ago today, declared all men are created equal, thereby recognising the Independence of the Indlvldua ; and since then the marvelous devel opment ot our country has been large ly due to our innepeniienua in and the opportunity to aecure a Just rsward for owjndijstry. Thus. Inde pendence l the birthright of all Americans. "But before we can claim this her itage we must put forth Intelligent effort. We must do the Joh that lies before us. And more than this. If we are to extend our sphere of use fulness, we must learn something about the other fellow's Work. We must not specialise to the point where our vision Is limited entirely lo our own task, like the man who for years had made cog wheela In a great machine shop without knowing what they were for. To progress, w. must exercise our curiosity and dis cover for ourselvea Just how our woik fits In with the work of others. "Thla Is especially true of the postal service, whlo his msde up of a vast amount of detail and where tha work of one Individual affects ma terially the results secured by his co worksra. Handling the mall, yoii know, Is like a gigantic relay race and calls for the utmost co-operstlon be tween the runners. If the stream of letters Is to be passed slong to their destination with safety snd dispatch. And you can co-operut most Intelli gently and effectively In relnylap the mall rnrim nolnt lo point If you know something about the course over which It must travel ana tne nanas tnrousn wn.ih it muat pass. "My hope Is that each one of you will be encouraged to extend your knowledge of ths poital service gen erally so that you may better under atand the true purpose of It exlit ,nce which, by tha way, la alwavs "ervlae" and take pride In Its tra ditions aad aecompllahme'iti.
