People would receive their mail through the stations and post messages, which were read several times during the day: calls for a meeting of women from the "Comité de Amas de Casa" (Housewives' Committee); messages from union leaders about their negotiations with the government in the capital; messages of love between young people; the announcement of a new play by the "Nuevos Horizontes" theater group (often staged on the platform of a big truck, with workers illuminating the scene with their own lamps); and announcements of sport activities, burials, births and festivities.
