Busy Scene at Postoffice.
AT the express and postoffice, as.
sistants are working overtime and
double time. To handle the rush of
business the south window in the
postoffice, ordinarily used for mail
box delivery, has temporarily been
converted into a parcels post booth.
An almost steady stream of gift
laden men, women and children pass
the wicket from early in the forenoon
until closing time. The parcels post
insurance and the registry office in
the east end of the office is an almost
equally as busy a scene. Mail car
riers leave the office with capacity
loads of parcels and general mail.
Practically every incoming passen-
ger train now brings dozens of per
sons who will spend Christmas with
relatives or friends here. Numbers
also are departing to visit at out of
town homes.
