Howell Tells Lions About Mail Service Col. J. H. Howell, Waynesville postmaster, gave the members of the. Waynesville Lions Club last Thursday night a rough idea of how thn Pnet nffi nonirtmtnt operates and some of the things! it'rup against. ( In the principal speech Of the pASIiIdn 1. rnnL 1 . . 1 . 1 1 1 I "6"'"' wcvmjr scsaiun, ne outlin ed the structure of the postal sys- f icin, expiainea me general setup, and outlined thp hlctnru nt ikn H " " " ...... V. . J v4 tlC Waynesville Post Office from the1 time it was established in 1874. Among other things, the Lions learned: Waynesville has a post office mnkffri in th Ant la Ht t ....... v. -,1V I'.ua ui the U. S. Post Office Department.! That means it is qualified to serve as a depository for savings, sales office for stamps and en celopes, and war stamps, and has to try to answer all questions In cluding: "Will the noon mail be up by noon?" and "when does the next air mail eo out?" Cnl. Howell akn tnlri tha T inns' that waynesville services two rural routes Nos. 1 and 2 and is try-, lng for a third to relieve the situa tion on Route 1. So far. he added, this setlm has been approved, but Congress has not yet authorized the funds for it. He indicated the prospects of t doing so were quite dim since the law-makers of the current ses sion are aiming for economy meas ures.. He also discussed Congress' eco nomy action on the Post Office Department's - httflget. This resulted in the reduction of residential mail deliveries, among other things, by 50 per cent. But, he continued, one mail de livery in the Waynesville residen tial district and two in the Dull ness district each day are quite adequate. He explained that the major re ceipts of mail by the local post office come at 7:30 a. m. and 4:30 ; p. m. The 4:30 p. m. mall comes in too late for delivery anyway. So it Is combined with the 7:30 o'clock mail the next morning. The mailmen leave the post of fice at about 3:30 a. m. with It to start their rounds. Another mall, he said, comes in at 11 a. m. But this invariably contains very little first-class matter, sometimes none at all, and would not warrant the time and work the carriers Would have to invest to deliver it to the . out-lying residential--Sections. ,; ; ; . As a parting plea, lie, duggeted two ways local businessmen ran .help-the postal service:, J .' Address your mail directly nd plainly. Mail early and often.
