ThezWildfongs have three younger children in public school so their time is well occupied, the mail route taking only a part of each day. His Majesty’s Mail Service de­ mands that a -carrier have no riders in his vehicle. If someone should seek special permission from the Post Master, he would he required to ride in the back, away from the mail and be con­ tent to look, listen and sniff the country air and dust as it breezes in through the open windows. One riding with Mr. or Mrs. Wildfong would leave Exeter at 11:30 a.m. and travel a route "beginning with the old Huron road. As the distance 'between houses becomes greater, the mail boxes seem to stand out more, ■each a personality, each with some individual and ingenious characteristic, portraying its owner as special. The most popular type of mail box is one on a long hori­ zontal pole, weighted at the other end to achieve its proper height, thus satisfying the rule that no mail carrier should be obliged to “dismount from his rig” in delivering the mail. Large mail boxes are preferred by the carrier, especially at Christmas and it often saves the farmer a trip into town to pick up parcels too bulky for a small box. Starlings are despised and discussed in lower tones by the carriers of rural mail, and for what better reason than to find a handfull of mud and grass in place of the expected letter in to prepare a hurried her husband and the children at home.
