THE POSTAL SYSTEM

For cenmries people have used the postal system to exchange ideas with others in distant places. Before the telegraph, telephone, radio, and television were invented, the postal system was the only safe way of getting news from and giving news to people in faraway places. Today the postal system is an important and economical means of communication.

Processing a letter that has been mailed involves several steps. First, postal employees pick up mail from the box and put it into mailbags. Then the bags are placed in a truck and driven to the post office. In large post offices, postal clerks empty the mailbags into a machine that sorts the letters according to size. This machine feeds the letters into another machine called a facer-canceller. The facer- canceller arranges the letters so that they all face the same way. Then it cancels (marks) the stamps on the envelopes so they cannot be used again. It also prints the date and location of the post office on the envelope. Then another machine is used to separate the letters according to their general destination. In small post offices, however, the postal clerks do all this work by hand.

After the mail is sorted, it is placed into mailbags and transported by airplane, truck, or train to the post office closest to its destination. There the mail is sorted into local areas. When a letter earner is given the mail for a certain area, he/she separates it according to street and house number. Then the letter is carried to its destination.
