Postmaster Tells Postal Progress As patrons swamped the local Post Office yesterday with their holiday mailings, Postmaster Hoskins found time to recall the continuing progress in United States postal delivery service since the first Christmas cards were dispatched by Benjamin Franklin, father of the American postal system. Back in those dim, candle-lit days nearly 200 years ago the hearty colonists were fewer and farther between than cities are today and mailmen were rare pioneers willing to blaze new trails afoot and on horseback over a comparatively few scattered miles of rugged terrain encompassing the post routes. From that inauspicious start sprung the overland mail as a result of the Gold Rush of '49, followed by the Pony Express in 1860, linking east and west with what was the fastest mail delivery the forefathers of that era could conceive. Then came the railway mail service connecting virtually all crossroads of America. The next innovation that brought this nation the world's fastest, modern postal delivery service was the airplane shortly after the turn of the century. Down through the years air mail facilities have expanded to such an extent that today it is commonplace to wing letters and parcelsot all parts of the globe. "In this air age," added Postmaster Hoskins, "the speedier air mail and air parcel post service, which envelopes more than 300,000 route miles of domestic and international airways blanketing every sector of the world, is available from our city at the lowest rates in history." were in charge of tourney arrangements.
