The proposed cuts in postal service — including ending Saturday delivery — will have an impact on everyone in some way.

Reduction in the one-day local delivery of first class mail will be stretched to two days. The postal service assures us the delivery of medications from private mail-order pharmacies will be maintained. But what about the Veterans Administration which uses an automated phone renewal system and delivery by mail?

The United States Postal Service will close about 252 of its 487 mail processing centers. For the fiscal year that ended last September, the service ran up a $5.1 billion net loss.

Many customers think savings could be made by cutting back on the so-called “junk mail” that fills our mailbox unsolicited. This would be a burden on those nonprofit organizations who depend on mail appeals to support their worthy causes.

We doubt if the younger generation pays much attention to their mail or sits down to write a letter to a friend. Perhaps they should write to their delegation in Washington if they feel the service should be maintained.
