Stamp Day 1976
Among the agents of the Post and Telecommunications Administration, the postmen are the best known to the public. Remarkable for their attire, affable, helpful, they are expected every morning in most homes and centers of social, economic and administrative activity.
There are nearly 3,000 of them crisscrossing the towns and villages of the country carrying news, money orders and packages to delight families or distributing various writings and documents helping to maintain the cultural, administrative and economic life of the nation.
Whether the weather is good or bad, hot or cold, they carry out their daily task always with a smile. They are driven by the dual concern of respecting the timetables and routes set for them by the Administration and of correctly and courteously fulfilling the mission with which they are entrusted to users.
Aware of the importance of the social role played by postmen, many users do everything to make their task easier by installing mailboxes in good condition and well marked. Despite technical progress which increasingly tends to replace man with machines, the postman's task will long retain its human aspect.
To honor the postmen, the Post and Telecommunications Administration is dedicating the issue of a postage stamp to them on the occasion of Stamp Day.
