NUMBER 16
I Up and Down
; The Avenue
By Don Moffatt
We hear a lot these days
about the mess the Post Ot-
flee Is In. During the time cf
the illegal strike in New York,
one postal employee who was
out on strike was lamenting
about not being able to live on
his income of some $6,000 a
year. The reason, he had nine
children, cr at least as I re
member that was his trouble.
If any man wants to have that
large a family, he should be
willing to exert enough ener
gy in other ways to raise his
income, he shouldn’t blame it
on his job. Maybe $6,000 isn’t
enough money to live on ir.
New York, but I have a feel
ing that he couldn’t make it
with that big a family no mat
ter where he lives. Maybe Sen
ator Packwood has the right
idea about limiting the num
ber of children we can raise.
And while on this postal bit,
I certainly feel that President
Nixon is away off base in even
suggesting a raise on first
class mail to 10c. Why not put
the burden on third class mail
—that Is where the money is
being lost today. First class
mail, I have been told, Is pay
ing its own way now, and why
should we have to bear the
burden of flooding the mail
with material most postal pa
trons wculd just as soon be
without.
