POST OFFICE PROMOTIONS
Sir, —Replying to my letter of June 19 the Postmaster-General spoke of intended promotions long overdue, also of the opening of new telegraph schools at Auckland and Christchurch, but did not say how many men were in training. Empty chairs are not helpful. He contradicts my complaints and follows on with qualifications as “it can be said” and ‘as a general rule” when speaking of the employment of girls in clerical jobik Two post offices adjacent to me have female officers only, and I saw seven girls in the withdrawals branch of the Christchurch Post Office Savings Bank recently. How can second division men “show promise of becoming operators” in the country, when they are on exchange work only, even transmitting telegrams to the Central Post Office by telephone while subscribers wait impatiently for “jammed” lines?— Yours, etc., RETURNED SERVICEMAN’S MOTHER. July 28, 1947..
