PARCELS POST IS
 OVERCROWDED

Despite the frequent announcements and warnings in the papers calling for early mailing of Christmas parcels, no heed was given by the majority of Bridgeport residents, as seen from the packed crowds that fill the post office lobby and the parcel post office.
 Men and women with arms over- flowing with parcels reach from the parcel post window into the street, and the clerks are kept busy every minute of the day. Clerks at the of- fees are working hard to meet the demands of the public and are rushing the parcels along as quickly as pos sible.
 The true spirit of happy Christmas prevails everywhere and there is an abundance of light-heartedness pres ent that comes from the feeling that peace is once again reigning over the world.
