The Postman’s Whistle
Sir. —If the postman’s whistle <in hygienic metal) has been issued to him, as I believe it has. he should be given instructions to blow it, at least in every street, if he has not sufficient energy to do so at every house. I know of a hill street where several elderly persons reside, and the postman's whistle would save them many unnecessary steps. At one time the postman blew his whistle, the milkman came to the door, and they were none the worse for it. I am sure the “rock ’n roll” contestants expend much more energy, but that is in the cause of pleasure, not duty. 1. for one, hope to hear the oncefamiliar whistle again.—Yours, etc., E.A.I. April 29, 1957. [This correspondence is now closed.—Ed., “The Press.”]
