Silent Appeals
In many towns a box is placed prominently outside the post office on Fridays with a notice that says, “Silent Appeal—place your coupons here and aid Britain.” Other districts placed sealed containers on the counters of post offices, grocers’ shops and at any convenient point in the area. The boxes are cleared each week by the district committees. Many coupons are still being received by the post offices through the mail. Coupons sent in this way are put into an envelope,- addressed to the Postmaster, and posted without a stamp.
