Po.toffiee Employees Work Like Irc-
ians.--Hsndl. Record Business

Postmaster Archibald Macdonald
states that this years Christmas bust
ness was the biggest In the history Of
the local postofiice department. Not
only were there an unusually large
number Of packages sent and reeeiy-
ed, but the number Of Christmas
greeting cards was heavier than ever.
The new postofiice truck. which
was added TO the department last
summer, did a lot of good work this
Christmas. Bundles were delivered
all over the city from this car in much
less time than by the old method.
The members Of the postofilee force
and also the carriers, worked long
hours In the days Immediately pre-
ceding Christmas disposing Of the
outgoing and incoming mail matter
The ruling tina: carriers shorld not
deliver mail after noon on Christmas
Day did not result in any local peo-
ple losing Christmas mail, since every
carrier was back In the Office before
noon, and every parcel. card and let
ter was delivered.
Postmaster Macdonald expresses
his appreciation Of the cooperation
given b. the public, and the tireless.
faithful work by postoffice employees
