For 31 years, come rain, sun,
snow, sleet, the mailman ven-
tures with his load to its final
destination,
Arnold Blake is the mailman
that was presented with a service
pin on Friday April 11 by the
Ontario Postal Division at the
Lucan Post Office,
Arnold began his 36 mile route
February 1, 1944 from Clan-
deboye Post Office with 90
boxholders.
When Clandeboye Post Office
closed April 2, 1970, he moved to
Lucan Post Office where he now
services two sets of group boxes
and 185 box holders,
Arnold is so dedicated he has
never taken more than three days
holidays in succession.
Ode to rural mailman
The services to the rural area
Make life so smooth and sure.
The milkman to the dairy,
If the weather be good or poor.
The breadman, with his happy
'The fuel inan'neVer fails
As they drive the country, mile
by mile
In rain, and sleet and hail.
These service men you get to
know
As you meet them day to day.
But there is one more, that is on
the go
You'd miss him, if he went away.
He's the faithful, rural mailman,
In his bangedup, little car.
Do you ever really give a darn?
How good his conditions are.
You never get to meet him
Or your face would sure be red,
With the condition of your
mailbox, being more than sin
Yet not a word is said.
The mailbox door just will not fit
Unless you use both hands.
The post leans way out, towards
the ditch
Just reach it if you can.
The box is filled with starlings
nests
Now look up at your home.
How smooth and tidy, with little
mess
Did you hear that mailman
groan?
The snow plow sweeps the road so
clean
The conditions are the best.
Now where does all that wet snow
lean?
Against the post, you bet.
See, there comes the rural
mailman
With red flag on his car, to show
But he'll have to be a superman
To get near the box, for snow.
Someday there may be a better
way,
To deliver mail to country folk.
`Til then, let's vote him a raise in
pay,
For his conditions, are no joke.
By Robert E. Hulley
