HOLIDAY RUSH
AT POSTOFFICE
LOCAL OFFICE NOW BEGINNING TO
RECEIVE THE CHRISTMAS
MAIL.
Public Urged to Aid the Oifice in Every
Way Thus Faciliting the Movement
of Mail Matter.

The holiday rush of mail is already
beginning to tax the force at the post
office to its capacity and it is expected
the force will be increased during
the week Already much Christmas
mail has been received the first batch
of Not to be delivered until Christ
mas" reaching here yesterday.
Officials at the post office announc-
ed that every effort will be made to
handle the heavy mails as rapidly as it
arrives and the public is asked to as
sist in every way. One way in which
the Xmas rush may be facilitated can
be through mailing your Xmas parcels
early. This would relieve much of the
burden as the last few days preceding
Christmas will make it difficult for
the local officials to handle the bust
ness with dispatch.
The process of checking out Posi-
master J. R. Collins is being worked
out today and tomorrow F. e. Corn
wall will assume charge. Incident
to the checking process the work of
the office is necessarily enhanced,
however, it is anticipated the service
to the public will not be greatly hamp-
cred
The public is cautioned against the
pasting of stickers over the string on
packages. This has the tendency TO
make the package sealed and the first
class l<te is charged, however, stickers
may be placed On package under the
string so that the package may be
opened without breaking q seal or
;ticker.
The public is also urged to have |
packages weighed up before bringing |
hem to the post office if possible, thus
lecessitating no delay in the office.
