Jaycees Push East Beckley Home Mail Service Plan
Beckley Jaycees seek to convert East Beckley from box service to home delivery by carrier. William J. Barrell explains a post office station could serve the area if a majority of residents approve petitions for action by the U S Postal Department. A manager would replace the postmaster, expanding Beckley’s service area to include nearby streets and Raleigh Heights. The plan covers specific east and west boundaries and would include residents west of Eisenhower Drive to the city limits. The club also announced the 1919 1950 membership drive kickoff at the meeting.
