i POSTAL SERVICE BREAKING DOWN
An excellent article on Ihe postoffiee shortcomings appears in
the last issue of the New York Journal of Commerce
After recognizing the fact thit ihere has been an unprecedented
growth in the business of the posttffice department, the increase in!
the New York City postoffiee being uno. third in a year, the Journal
says :
"There is, of course, no doubt that the postal service
here and throughout the United States is being called upon
to carry more and more mail each year. In this city the
increase is great, as the figures show. And yet it is true thai
there has been no increase in population as the census proves,
and, of c.inrse. no increase m the area served. The problem
which the poatofficc has had to face has been our whit h in
volved simply an increase m business. The strain on the
facilities of the office has been no larger, and the condi
tions no different from those which existed five years ago.
The growth ot the volume fit buaineBS calls for better internal
organization, larger staffs of clerks and curriers and greater
efficiency. These have not been supplied.
"Little can be made, however, of the fai t that there has
been an abnormal increase in the volume of mail received and
sent from New York. The deterioration of the service has
beenas rapid elsewhere perhaps even greater. No organiza
tion is in better position to note the increase ur decline of
postal efficiency than the newspapers of the country, and
judging fnun the experience of some of them the service of
the postoffiee is now about al low ebb. The postal evil is
unquestionably widespread and vitiates the whole national
organization it i-. indeed a national evil, since the na
tion's business and intelligence depends directly on postal
communication.
" Few persons know or care much about the question
whether congress is most responsible for postal conditions, or
whether the blame must be laid chiefly at the door of the
postoffiee department. They know that the weakness anil
inefficiency is present, and they want it corrected. The make
full allowance for the diffh nlties which followed in the train
of the war and which applied to postoffpe personnel pist
as to other branches of public and private service. The
war, however, is now two years in the past, and the time has
come to rectify defects. These, as already, stated, are worse
than ever before, and their harm ia probably greater than
at any time in the past "
I COLORS BY A MASTER HAND
The sunshine of good company, the laughter of children, the
songs of birds, the beauty of the flowers make for delightful experi
ences in life, and some ouc, writing in Thrift, tells us how essential
is at least the one the sunshine.
"The warmth of the sun on a tired body wracked with a i ity'i
nervous energy," says the writer, "the drawing up of seedling and
hlossom 1o the light, throwing on lawn, orchard, garden and forest
splashes of color and shade are blessings not to he despised. Wc
should spend more time in the garden, and in the sun. for the same
reason that we eat food to sustain life, The touch of the soil on our
l hands and the warmth of the sun on our back have a way of purging
r' " us of much that is harmful to our happiness. They remove the strange
restrictions that society puts upon us, and leave us light hearted.
They help to make the crooked things straight and the rough places
1 plain The sun energizes us to accomplish things that by night seemed
I impossible, the sun warms the heart and breeds the gentleness where
love springs. We cannot catch the energy of a garden life and not
share its vitality, neither can we watch the miracle that is in the year
lv resurrection of the seed without being quickened to wonder and
belief."
I "Within a few days the people of Ogden will have the pleasure
J of seeing how the sunshine, during the summer months, has stored
I away great beauty in the wildwood of Ogden canyon At present
t there is just a suggestion of what is promised. Here and there on
the mountain sides are brilliant patches of vermilion in fields of
green Soon the gorge will be a gorgeous painting by a master hand,
f and those who fail to feast their eyes on the rainbow colors will miss
an inspirational 6cene.
