: A vacancy for a postmaster-postmistress will arise at Moyvalley sub-post office in August 1978. The vacancy has been advertised. It is intended to convert the telephone exchange to automatic working but this is unlikely to be done for some years yet. The rate of remuneration for a new appointee would be about £3,200. The remuneration of postmasters generally was last increased with effect from 1 March 1978.
