THE NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBIfNE MESSAGE BY RADIO FROM WASHINGTON POSTMASTER GENERAL TALKS TO 1'EOPLE UNITED STATES WORK OF ,Tho following moasago from Post master General Work wob soot from tho Air Mall wireless Btatlon horo at North Platte last Saturday. It was sent from the Arllnton station by radiophone and was picked up all over tho United States. It is an interest ins and inspiring mcssago and Is doubly interesting in that Postmaster Genoral Work was really talking to tho American people: My message tonight is addressed to every man, woman and child in tho United States, bocnuse in varying de grco thoy ar6 all affected by tho op erations of tho postal service. This word "service," by tho way, which is so nptly linked with postal is some thing moro than a mero designation of ono of the governmental establish ments. It fittingly describes what may bo considered tho "good right arm" of tho American people, and ex presses unmistakably tho purposo for which It was founded almost as soon us the early colonists had set their houso in order. This purposo is nothing moro than to servo tho people in an' lntlmat.3 way In their daily contact with their follow, men. It Is such a personal, essential sort of service that tho pos tal establishment has been well callud tho peoplo's agency. And for this root son, perhaps, it is one of tho great undertakings of tho business world which has not been developed by pri vate enterprise. Tho instinct of our people from tho beginning was to re tain control of this elemental function "which so vitally concerns our dally life by associating it with tho powera of government Originally, tho colonies maintained a. system of postal communication, which later was placed under federal control by tho Constitutional Conven tion of 1787, and finally in 1794 the Post Offico department was estab lished as ono of the executive branch es of tho government. Thus today wo have over a hundred million share holders in this our greatest business enterprise; we have considerably over a quarter of a million employee?, who, It must be remembered, are also stockholders; and we utilize all thu products of man's Inventive geniui to carry on tho business. You will say with me, I am sure, "that a mag nlflcent instrumentality for service!" Just what is this service? Primar ily, it is the transmission pt intelli gence, the carrying of your written word from your own hand directly and expeditiously into the hands of someone miles away. But the sequel is far reaching, because the postal service is the foundation upon which our government rest; It Is the leaven which unites the tepers tho diversi fied aspirations of our people; it is the origin and oftentimes the end of our joys and sorrows; it is the gen esis of commerce and business as it is carried on today; it is the medium which most effectively promotes our intellectual growth, it Is tho moons which releases us from our own nar row environment and and mokes us world citizens, it is in fact, the great est single force of civilization. To me one of tho most striking tilings about the postal service is tho manner in which it has kept paco with the development of our great country. Indeed, it has often been a step ahead of tho'ordiuary resources and mechanical mowers at tho dis posal of tho individual, because It has been endowed by tho whole pci plo and has available all of the Intel lectual capital of tho country. It Is a far cry from tho galloping pout rider of pioneer dnyB to the soaring airplane, and except for Its historical Interest' tho lone horse-man appear ing on the official boxI of tho Post Offico department has no present day significance. Tho steps in between are represented by tho stago coach, tho steam boat, tho express train, and tho automobile Each constitutes an epoch in American history. Aud now tho postal Bervlce, fulfilling 1H design as a means of communication, has undertaken to adopt tho radio to tho noeds of tho peopled I This meat rocent achievement makes It posslblo for mo to talk tonight to thousands of people scattered ovor a wide area, just as It carries Into thousands cf homos In tho city and country dally messages from tho scat of our govern ment in tho form of weather and market reports. Thus at tho outset tho postal Borvlco is participating in tho development of this latest means of communication and adapting it to practical, every-day use of tho indi vidual. I wonder if thero aro not many persons, who, liko mysolf beforo 1 joined tho army of postal workers, uc copt tho manifold sorvico rendorcd by tills groat organization without think ing of tho multltudo of parts which makes up tho whole. I am reminded of the maohlnory of a powerful, oasy runnlng automobile, encased in n beautiful body, which effectively con ceals tho engine, cogs and shaft-) which enablo us to glido along so smoothly and rapidly. When tho ma chlnory is well oiled and In good running order, wo aro not interested In tho component parts; but lot a cog slip, and Immediately wo awakon to tho fact that thero is after all some thing inBldo which now domands at tention. Wo may denounco It em phatically, but don't wo do something moro? Don't wo either remedy the fault oursolves, or have someone elao do It Now I wish you -would llkon this situation to tho operation of tho post al service. Tho railroad, tho autoiuo- bllo, and the airplane roprcsont parts of tho machlnory, as do tho quart or of a million omploypos scattered throughout tho United States. Tho control is centered horo In Washing ton, and wo will say that tho postal officials horo and olsowhero take the placo of tho chauffeur driving tho av tomoblle. Tho body of tho car may bo likened to tho post offico lobby whoro you transact pour business. Now if you were riding in this car and something wont wrong with say tho transmission as will often bo the caso dispito tho Bklll of your chatfe.;r wouldn't you call his attention to the situation if ho had not already learned of it and gavo him a clianco to fix tho car beforo declaring it to be ready for tho scrapheap? You may bo sure that with men, as well as with machinery, a cog will slip now and then; but of tills you may be equally certain tho postal aorvlco is working twenty-four hours dally striving to glvo you the same efficient, easy-running service which you might expect from the high priced automobile I havo mentioned It Is not run for profit, but for tho benefit of mankind. You may expect to get more than your monoy's worth. It serves without distinction of per sons, for It carries tho poor man's letter and parcel just as cheaply aril promptly as the millionaire's. In our constant striving for perfec tion, wo bespeak your cooperation. To this end we havo announced a Postal Improvement Week to begin on May 1st when we confidently hope to reach a high degree of perfection In render ing you service. The friendly atti tude of tho patrons has been an In spiration to wo who aro charged with the administration of the postal ser vice, and wo hope next week to ex press pur appreciation by giving you oven better service than heretofore.. Your continued assistance is essential to our success, however, and I am going to ask you to do your share by plainly and correctly addressing your mall matter. Y'our postmaster and tho nowspapors will bring to your attention various other ways In which you may help us. Then, If you do not get the particular kind of service you may think you aro entitled to receive, tell your postmaster about It, or wlto to tho department hero In Washing ton. Holp us to keep the cogs from slipping. :o: WHAT OTHER PATERS SAY INTERESTING ITEMS FROM KX CHANGES YnilClI REACH OUR DESK.

Keith County News CALLED OFF Tho Sutherland high school baso ball team camo down last Friday and played tho local high school team Tho results showed plainly that either the visiting team was sadly outclassed or there was something wrong. Tho Bcoro was 32 to 0 In favor of Horshey Rumor was that several of tho players on the visiting team had been drinking something stronger than ginger nlo and plainly showed tho effects In their actions. While wo rogret to mention this yet tho open disgust expressed by so many attend ing tho game, compels a statement of somo kind. That young men bow their "wild oats" Is only to bo ex pected but to mako a public exhi bition in this condition under the fostorlng hand of "high school ath lotlcs," Is to be deplored, and on sorveB to lower tho estimate of school patrons of atholetlcs In our schools, and justly so. Had the athletic di rector withdrawn tho Horshey team from tho field, it would have been much better for all concerned. Later: Wo learn from authority that because of tho condition of the Sutherland players In tills game, athletics havo boon withdrawn in the Sutherland school for tho balnnco ot thl3 school term.
