HEALTH CAMPAIGN
POSTMEN'S DRIVE
Hail, rain, or shine, the postman goes his daily round, and. amongst the hundreds of thousands of letters that he delivers in the course of a year, rarely does he deliver one from ' himself. During the coming week, however, postmen will be delivering to householders letters intimating that once more the postman is engaged in the work of helping others. On this occasion the object is the Children's Health Campaign. The postman's letter will say tha" he will call on the following day to afford the householder the opportunity of buying "Health" stamps for use on his Christmas mail. As almost everyone uses stamps at Christmas time, and most "people, jn sending gifts to relatives and friends, will be glad at the same time to do something for the children by using "Health" stamps on their mail packages, there is every prospect of the Health Campaign benefiting very considerably as a result of the postmen's drive.
The drive will be performed during the postmen's ordinary working hours, but it is, nevertheless, quite a voluntary effort and one that will involve for the postmen the working of longer hours than usual. The explanation of the postmen's willingness to help and the public's readiness to co-operate lies, of course, in the fact that the 'effort is "For the Children."
