Tips on Improving RFD Boxes
The week beginning with Monday, May 16,
has been designated officially and permanently by
the post office department as rural mailbox im
provement week. In continuation of the valuable
work in previous seasons to repair or improve the
rural mailboxes of the nation, a vigorous campaign
will be launched again this spring to carry on this
worthwhile project.
Here are a few pointers for RMI week:
(1) See that posts are securely erected—are not
leaning badly—and that box is fastened
securely.
(2) Replace obsolete box if it is hard to get mail
into it, or if is hard to see into for letters
that you want mailed.
(3) Name should be painted on side of box which
carrier approaches (or can be on front of
box if several boxes are closely grouped to
gether.
(4) It is a big help if several boxes are neatly
and closely placed on a plank extending
between two posts.
(5) Bottom of box should be 42 inches above
roadway, and should be on an arm extending
out away from the post, in such a manner
that it can be easily reached, with all ob
| structions (including snow and parked cars)
promptly removed.
(6) Fill ruts with crushed rock or broken brick or
cement.
(7) Drive your own car up to your box. If you
can easily reach your mail from behind the
wheel of your car, reaching out the right
hand side as the carrier is required to do,
then the chances are that your box is pretty
well located. But better yet, talk to your car
rier about the proper location, and the cor
rect setting.
(8) Your carrier serves the box 305 days every
year. It it is correctly set, it lightens his
work and saves him time so that he can more
quickly serve other patrons farther along his
route (and saving his time can save the
government money).
(9) This will be appreciated, for with the rapid
development of housing on acreages, the
work load of most rural carriers has more
doubled in the past few years.
(10) Your mailbox is the front door to your home.
Since it is usually in front of your home, its
neat appearance will add considerably to the
appearance of your home. Ruts filled—
box and and post painted white—possibly a
few flowers planted behind it.
