MANY SENIOR CITIZENS HAVE ONLY THEIR MAIL TO LOOK FORWARD TO EACH DAY.  FOR MANY IT IS NOT JUST THEIR MAIL, BUT THE PERSONAL CHECK ON THEIR WELLBEING THAT THEY CAN DEPEND ON BY POST OFFICE PERSONNEL.  THAT FREE SERVICE WILL BE MISSING, SOMETIMES THREE DAYS DURING HOLIDAY WEEKENDS.  UNFORTUNATELY, THE POST OFFICE IS NOT PAYING FOR ITSELF, WHAT WITH EMAIL, TEXTING AND OTHER MEANS OF COMMUNICATION. THE SATURDAY MAIL DELIVERY WILL BE HISTORY.  

PROBABLY THE MOST EFFICIENT MAIL SERVICE IS ALL READY HISTORY.  WHEN WE HAD THE RAILWAY MAIL CARS AND WE COULD MAIL A LETTER AT THE DEPOT AND BE ASSURED IT WOULD BE IN CHICAGO THE NEXT MORNING.  

CAN WE THINK OF A BETTER WAY TO DELIVER THE MAIL WITHOUT THE CONSTANT INCREASE IN POSTAGE, OR SHOULD WE LET THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT BECOME A PART OF HISTORY?
