Letter Writinq
Week to Be Observed
In Boardman Area
By Mary Lee Marlow
National Letter Waiting Week
will again be celebrated in Board
man during the week Oct. 7-13,
Postmaster Flossie Coats an
nounced today.
Commenting on the signifi
cance of National Letter Writing
Week, Mrs. Coats pointed out that
each year since 1938 this event
has been observed as a reminder
of the real meaning of a personal
letter.
Emphasizing the traditional
sanctity of the letter mail, Mrs. I
Coats reminded Boardman resi
dents that one of the basic
American Freedoms is the un
censored transmission of their
first class mail. It is the most
valuable possession of the citizens
of a free country.
We all know the human im
portance of letter writing, the
way in which it holds scattered
families together, of giving com
fort and love and news to all
the people of the land. But
its value is immeasureably
greater than that. Its impli
cations are almost infinite.
We in America have the privi
lege of uncensored and unlimited
means of communication. With
this in mind, all citizens of
Boardman are urged to join in
this national celebration, lxs
make National Letter Writing
Week for 1956 the greatest ever.
