A card board box on a stake will do nicely.,If you are home * all day and can observe when rural carrier delivers your mail, you can put the box out approximately 1/2 hour be- fore he delivers and take the receptable down after delivery. Carriers are not responsible for any mail left in an open receptacle. Certainly if we all just bear with it a little longer and use our heads all mail will get to each postal patron. awarded scholarship increases to $5,000, $4,000, $3,000 and $2,000.
