PILOT PROGRAM The beginning of a pilot program aimed at expanding the level and quality of service for customers served by the Wonder Lake post office was announced today by Post­ master Lorraine W. Murphy. The consumer service program, which will begin in Wonder Lake on May 23, is a direct outgrowth of Postmaster General Benjamin F. Bailar's determination that service to the public will be friendly, courteous and efficient, as well as speedy and reliable, Post­ master Murphy said. "Good service is a far broader concept than just fast mail handling, as important as that is," she said. "It is also built on employee courtesy, our responsiveness to customer needs, the sympathy and un­ derstanding we bring to your own expectations of what good postal service is all about." The pilot program is being conducted in Illinois, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Arizona. It is expected to last about six weeks, and following evaluation, will be implemented nationwide. Postmaster Murphy urged customers in Wonder Lake to bring their inquiries and pomplaints to the attention of postal managers. And if people feel their problems have not been properly handled, the Postmaster said, they should see her personally. To make it easier for a customer to make a suggestion or complaint about postal service, a new consumer service card will be available from letter carriers and at post offices. According to Postmaster Murphy, the card is two postal cards with carbon paper bet­ ween them. "One copy goes to me or station superintendent so work can begin on the com­ plaint," she said. "The other goes to Postal Service Headquarters in Washington for cataloging and analysis. The cards will help management spot problem areas and trends." The card, which Postmaster Murphy said would take no more than two minutes to fill out, can be used to register a complaint of any kind or a compliment. Postmaster Murphy said she and her staff are willing to discuss any problems, in­ cluding lack of courtesy, irregularities in deliveries or collections, collection box convenience and postal office hours. "We want you to come to us with your problems," con­ cluded Postmaster Murphy. "The whole point of this service program is to bring your problems and gripes out into the open where we'll attempt to resolve them" The Wonder Lake Post Office telephone number is 653-7771.
