Niue Gets A Do-It-Yourself Post Office

Until a few weeks ago, Niue’s Post Office staff used to fill in he necessary form whenever myone wanted to send a tele gram, money order, etc.

But the postmaster now says 'he people are well enough educated to do it themselves.

“In every other country," he said in a recent issue of the ‘Niue Newsletter’, “the filling in of forms is the task of the in dividual. The staff is there for the purpose of checking amongst other duties.”

In the Post Office, the post master is displaying filled-in samples of various forms and Niue’s public have to write out their own.
