Belated Christmas Mails
Expected to Reach Keno
sha During Next 6 Days
From Many Points.
KENOSHA OFFICE "CLEAR"
Emergency Forces are Still at Work to
Help Clean Up Belated Mail Here at
Transfer Stations Postofice Men
Work With Flash Lights.

Don't lose hopeS If you failed to
get that present you were expecting
from Altoona, Pennsylvania, or Seat
tie, Washington, or Bixby, Oklahoma,
or Limoges, France, or lot of other
places, don't go off half cooked and
send a post card telling that friend
that you didn't expect her to remember
you any way for maybe that present is
on the way and it viii reach you some
time between now and Ne Wears day.
There is still lot of Christmas mail
for delivery. A little Of it is in the
Ke.. ,ssha post Office and lot more of
it isN tied up at distributing points all
over the country. Heavy eastern and
foreign mails did not get through to
Chicago on account of delayed trains
ana lack of mail ears and men to take
care Of them. The Christmas mail is
going 10 come drifting in to Kenosha
al the way between now and the next
Fourth Of 3uly-so gems lose hope.
Up g re nesats o., { a won
derful record va Established this yeaf
and less than two truck loads of mail
remained from the Christmas rush for
delivery this morning when the Office
was open. However, the mails were
very heavy during the day and the
emergency workers were all still on
the job and they will probably remain
at work for several days in an effort
to clean up.
"People Of Kenosha ought to be
proud of these fellows" said Post
master German this morning. ''Tbey
sure did some job of cleaning up the
Christmas mails. They worked through
the storm until eight O'Clock Tuesday
night, making their way about the city
with flash lights and they kept the
trucks moving regardless of the fact
that other automobiles were being
stuck in the snow all over the city.
They worked all day Christmas day
and when the day was over the mails
were just as near cleaned out as they
were on any normal day in the middle
of summer. We can It help it if a lot
of other people have not been as eff
fcient as the Kenosha Office and we
know that there are lot Of Christ
mas parcels on the way. On Tuesday
we handled more than sixty thousand
pieces of incoming mail and nearly as
many pieces Of out going mail. The
mails received on Christmas day were
just about half as heavy and we are
still getting parcel post matter by the
carload. The reports of congestion in
the moving of the mails come from all
along the routes from east to west and
it may be a week or even longer be-
fore all of these mails reach Kenosha.
The people can be certain that these
mails will be delivered just as soon as
they. reach Kenosha. With a nation
wide snow storm mails are all delayed
lite, but add to this snow storm an
unprecedented Cbristas demand upon
the department and the people viii
understand why they are going to
have to wait little while for their
Christmas presents. f"
