National Postal Service Day Marked by Ceremonies and Change
Athens residents urged to visit their post offices Thursday as National Postal Service Day commemorates the U S Postal Service takeover. Officials note limited souvenirs and first day covers, with a new eight cent stamp and emblem to replace the old Post Office Department symbol. The Postal Service begins as an independent federal arm with greater self direction and capital, aligning with Nixon’s 1970 reform goals.
