THANK YOU EXETEREditor Times-Advocate, Exeter, Ontario Dear Sir,-— The rural mail couriers are again face to face with heavy mail, stormy weather and bad roads. All who are in sympathy with the Mail Couriers, and we know a lot of people are, ’f you wish to assist them, we do not know of any better way of co-oper­ ating and encouraging yo-ur mail courier than to simply examine your box, see that the post stands up straight, and the box nice and level. For the later model of cars, fo-ur feet is the proper height. At this height when the box door is opened, it opens right into the car window, and it makes it very convenient for the courier to serve the box and re­ ceive the letters from the box. While on the other hand, if the boxes are too- high for instance, when the box is opened it opens up against the top of the car door, and the conse­ quence is,—the Courier eithei* has to back his car up and drive out far enough to let the box open, or take a chance on leaving a letter. Small boxes of the Prince Edward type need to be a little higher. About 4 ft. 3 ins. is the most convenient height for small* boxes. The box owner should see to it that the box is level, especially small boxes. The reason is, when a small box is tipped back for instance, and a letter naturally slides to the back end, the Courier finds it almost im­ possible to reach in with a fur coat sleeve and get the letter from the back end of the box. A good plan for small boxes, and one that is quite frequently adopted, is to do away with the long arm entirely, by bending it down over the top- of the post four feet three inches high. By using this method it will turn on the swivel just the same, and is always firm and handy. Many are doing away with the arm on the large boxes, and setting them on a swivel on top of a foui’ foot post. This too, is very satis­ factory as the post stands up in a better position, and is not blowing around with the wind. Kindly be good enough to keep a supply of stamps on hand, and put them o-n your letters. It won’t cost you any more, and it saves a Cour­ ier a lot of inconvenience. If you are out of stamps and want to send a letter and a parcel perhaps, just put a 25 cent piece in an envelope addressed to yourself, and mark on the envelope how many letters and how many parcels you want posted out of the book of stamps, otherwise the Courier is apt to get your change mixed with others as has often been the case, and yo-u don’t get as good service. Try these methods and it will be very much appreciated by your Cou­ rier and you will receive better ser­ vice. however, replace the ‘Meat -the name given here to the of farmers to band into usually 24 and agree to at regular intervals the year The Wells Academy takes this opportunity to extend its thanks to the people of Exeter and district for the splendid support extended to our night classes in Exeter.
