 New Postal Delivery.
 A new parcel post delivery service is to be installed at the local post office and will go into effect next week. The deliveries will be made on a three-day schedule namely Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On those three days, all parcel post pack ages, which have heretofore been de- | livered by the daily regular mail car rer, will be forwarded to the people f on either of those days unless other wise called for or asked to be sent with the letter carrier.
 The three day delivery service for packages does not necessarily mean that the bundles will only be forWa rd ed on those days, but those days will be set aside for heavy packages which were formerly delivered by the car rier. The regular mail carrier will not deliver these packages unless de- manded by the consignee. For in stance, if a package comes in late Monday afternoon, it will be sched uled for parcel post delivery on Wednesday. When the mail carrier goes over his route Tuesday, he will inform the persons that package is at the office and if they wish him to deliver it that afternoon, he will do so, otherwise it will be included in the regular Wednesday parcel route. The postmen are not obliged to carry packages larger than a shoe box but are often burdened with heavy packa ges. The official weight a mail carrier is supposed to carry is 50 pounds.
 This new parcel post service will cover all parts of the town and the rural routes will be taken care of by the regular carrier as at the present time, u
