First Rural Mail Route Delivery In Canada.

I live in the US and have had "community mailbox" delivery in more than one home without any difficulty. Although it would appear not all residents have the same experience, especially when a "community mailbox" is damaged and can only be replaced by the US Postal Service as in this situation in Florida:

I still enjoy rural delivery today. Though they've moved my box down the road a ways, and grouped it with a few others. Safer for the delivery person, I suppose, but not to good for us walking along the country road at night (no sidewalks or streetlights) when the cars roll by. You keep an eye open for the lights coming over the hill.
I used to have a book written by George Wilcox about his campaign to bring rural delivery to Canada. He had experienced it while living briefly in the States (Michigan I think).
He campaigned the government almost single handedly to bring it about. A farmer back then could waste an entire day travelling into town and back just to get a couple of weeks worth of mail, and other supplies.
Thanks George.
