Help the Carriers.
The season is again at hand when the RFD carrier is forced to endure all sorts of hardships in delivering your mail. Especially when snow banks have to be bucked is his work doubly hard. The carrier is paid to deliver the mail, not to work the roads, and if patrons expect mail promptly each day, just see that the approach to each mailbox is kept open. See that the road along your land is kept open Also don't leave parcels in the box for the carrier to fish out with fingers that are already nearly frozen.
