N. J. ? How do adult citizens across the U. S. A. feel about the way the mail ser vice is being carried, on by their local post offices. A recent public opinion survey throws light on how adults across the nation fe??l about this impor tant servicte. Survey results show that Amer ican public sentiment overwhel mingly approves of its local mall service. Nearly 3 out' of every 4 adults questioned in the survey said they approved of the way the mail service is being carried on by their local post offices. About 1 in 4 say they disap prove. In other words, those who ap prove of the way their local post offices are carrying on their work outnumber by a margin of 3 to 1 those who disapprove. ' Whfen United States Poll staff reporters asked a representative cross ? section of the nation's adult citizens: "Do you approve or disapprove of the way the mail service is being carried on by your local post office?" Thbse were the nationwide re sults: W/NWS COMING ( CHUM. I It, FRE?z? TO OCATH . Approve V 7&'< Disapprove .24^ No opinion . \ 3'/i Highlighting today's survey findings is the fact that more than 2 out of every 3 in every population group examined say they approve of their local mail service and that in no population group do as many as 3 in 10 say they disapprove. These groups include Republi cans, Democrats, and Indepen dents. men and women, home ow ners and home renters, as well ^Nt)T me. o*T\ COLO N/OHTS, / SN? AH INTO A HOU5? THAT BURNS COAL .

More than 3 out of every 5 who expressed disapproval men tioned thfe need for 2 deliveries a ! day as th? reason lor expressing j disapproval. ]? And nearly 1 out of every 5 J making suggestions mentioned earlier deliveries and the fact I that they received their mail only | in the afternoons.. j. Getting third mention <0 per cent of all those offering sugges tions* is the elimination of unad dressed circular material and oth er advertising matter. Receiving fewer mentions were the need for more help; the need for raising the pay of mail car riers, and the poor service in gen eral.
