By DOUGLAS PATRICK The two major objectives of postal services of the -world were speed in delivery and low rates. The major forward step took place in 1660 when the British post office was established by an act of Parliament in the reign of King Charles II. In the same year, Henry Bishop rented the post for an annual charge of 21,500 pounds payable to the King. A year later he invented a postmark to show the day and month he received letters for delivery from his London office. Through subsequent years, many different postmarks, came into use as the need arose.

Paid, Free, Sunday, ship and dated postmarks are examples used in England, Scotland and Ireland. In 1679 some aggressive and ingenious Englishmen devised a plan to deliver mail themselves. William Dockwra and Robert Murray, former customs and excise employees in London, formed a company to deliver majl for one penny. An advertisement for the William Dockwra Penny-Post appeared about 1680 in a broadside, a type of poster common in those days. The arrangements of the new penny post were simple and liberal.

The poster stated in part: Whereas William Dockwra ol London, merchant and the rest pi the undertakers have lately set up a new invention to convey letters and parcels not exceeding one pound weight, and 10 pounds in value to and from all parts for a penny a letter or parcel. Dockwra hired more than 400 receivers of letters in London and suburbs. These men who received the letters did not apply postmarks to them. But for his purpose of the mai', Dockwra had divided London nnA ciiKitf Ko intn rnwon Aid rinla with a sorting office' in each one. He supplied all seven with marking devices bearing individual initials.

The chief office was in Dockwra's ownjiome on Lyme Street. Three different hamktanips were used: two were shaped like a heart with the enclosed notations, Mor 8, and Af 4 for eight in the morning and four o'clock in the afternoon. The third handstamp became known as Dockwra's penny post stamp. It was a triangular shaped design with Penny on the left side. Post on the right and Paid across the bottom all within the triangle.

In the centre of another triangular outline appeared the letter for Lyme (Street), for Westminster, for Temple.

Todd the other offices were possible for St. Paul's, for Southward, for Hermitage and standing for Bishopsgate. When the City of London authorities became alarmed at the success of Dockwra's post they applied to thfccourt of the King's Bench to stop him from infringing on the monopoly of the Postmaster-General. Dockwra was fined 100 pounds for contempt of court, and in November, 1682 a verdict against him forced the end of his penny post. The penny post continued more than 110 years, virtually without major changes in Dockwra's organization and system.

In 1794 Edward Johnson, a former letter carrier who rose to deputy controller, saw a need for changes in the British penny post. An act of Parliament dated March 28, 1794 authorized many changes, among them certain postal rates and optional prepayment. (Dockwra's mail was all prepaid.) The penny post was extended to some villages and towns more than 10 miles from the chief office. Radio highlights SATURDAY 2.00 CBO-FM Music to Listen to Jarx By.
