Harry Moose Wins Recognition For
Suggestion Improving P.0. Dept.
Harry E.- Moose, clerk at the
Newberry Post Office, has re
ceived an award of $25.00 and an
honorary recognition certificate
from the FhJst Office Department
for a suggestion he made for im
proving service within the depart
ment.
Mr. Moose’s suggestion concern
ed the disposition of contents of
damaged parcels in connection
with which indemnity claims have
been filed.
Most government agencies have
suggestion programs and commit
tees which consider suggestions of
employees for improvement of ser
vice and saving of materials and
money. In the event an em
ployee’s suggestion is adopted, an
award is made.
Mr. Moose submitted his sug
gestion to the District Suggestions
Committee of the Post Office De
partment in Atlanta. This com
mittee felt the suggestion worth
while and forwarded it to the Cen
tral Committee in Washington for
consideration.
Mr. Moose learned Saturday
morning that his suggestion had
been accepted. The award was
made by Postmaster George K.
Dominick at an informal ceremony
attended by employees of the post
office and members of the press.
V/ith the award was a letter from
A. B. Storm, administrative as
sistant to the Postmaster General.
Part of Mr. Storm’s letter quot
ed :
‘‘Our investigation proved that
your proposal was worthwhile and
the adoption thereof will require
all indemnity paying postmasters
to give more attention to and
promptly notify other postmasters
of the proper disposition to be
made of irreparably damaged
articles. Although no monetary
benefits are directly determinable,
it is contemplated that adoption
of this idea will result in service
improvement commensurate with
the aw-ard.
“The Postmaster General has
asked that I express his apprecia
tion for the interest you have
shown in making improvements
as evidenced by your contribu
tion and I am pleased to add my
personal congratulations. We hope
that you will continue to look for
improvements and send in your
proposals whenever you think
they may be of interest.”
