XMAS RUSH At
P. D. IS OVER
Clerks Clear Out Everything
Monday Night Except
Regular Mail.

Monday saw the finish OF the
Christmas rush at the South Bend
postOffice. Incoming mail was all
delivered on each day that il came
in during the rush week but. due
10 the fact of no deliveries on Satur-
day and Sunday. there was an &C
emulation Of packages for Monday
delivery. All of this late mail was
delivered so that Monday night saw
nothing but the regular mail on
hand.
The handling OF parcel post pack
ages during the rush was made more
difficult this year by reason OF the
fact that more perishable goods
were sent by mail. 1t was necessary
to place much of this goods on ice
during the time that il was held at
the office thus doubling the work
Of handling a large share of the
packages each day. In spite of this
fact and the fact that the total
amount Of Christmas mail handled
was greater than ever before the
work was done more quickly than
in years past. due TO the fact of bet
ter preparation and of many hours
overtime put in by the regular force
Of clerks and carriers.

there he hides, anxiously hoping that

The city hall is one conglomera-
