this entailed much extra work ON the
part of both. the postmaster and his
assistants and was done entirely ith.
out extra compensation, except, as
one Of the clerks remarked, the knowl-
edge that they were doing their bit.
In addition to the increase in the
postal receipts more than $4,000
worth of thrift and war savings stamps
were sold.
The following is comparative
statement of the business Of the High
