POSTAL SERVICE
 HERE PRAISED
Avoid Rush at Vile Office -Herbert's Work
 Praised

A waterville seraice which is lit- tie realized by the general publicand which should be highly appreciated is that rendered by the Waterville post office. Attention is particular ly called to it at this time because of the holiday rush and the efforts of Postmaster Colgrove of Water- bury to divert as much business here this year to avoid the discom- forts and congestion of the tempo rary quarters of the main office at Waterbury. As 0 result James Her. bert, superintendent of the Water vile post office--a station of the Waterbury offlce-and his corps of assistants, have been experiencing a veritable deluge of business during the past few days.
 Many of the patrons of the office, particularly those who do not re- side in Waterville. have marvelled at the remarkable efficient service rendered by MT. Herbert and his single office assistant, who handle the increased volume of business in the same manner which character izes their work in normal times. There is no evidence of confusion or unnecessary aids and the Work flows along with remarkable smoothness. Patrons have com mented particularly on the fact that that there are practically no delays at this office, whether serv- ice be sought at the stamp, money. order, registry, insurance. parcel post or general delivery windows with which this office Is provided. Mr Lnhhnrf and hIa assistant, who received the help of a third man during the last few hours of the day prepared for ship ment over two hundred sacks of mail, nearly one hundred sixty hay ing been dispatched by 4:30 p. m. On Sunday, a day on which the office is supposed to be closed tight and on which there are no out going mail traction from Water- vile, a service equal to that giv- en by the main office was obtain able at Waterville. MT. Herbert, on his own time, worked all day at the off1ce so that local Christmas parcels were expedited as quickly as possible, thirty sacks of parcel post being prepared and sent out to Waterbury by special motor truck.
 The city is fortunate in having a | fine business man like MT. Colgrove in charge of local postal affairs, and an assistant like MT. Herbert | in charge of the Waterville station. The finest service at all times IS the slogan to which they strictly ad- here.
 Contrary to the opinion held by many the service given by the Wa terville station is every bit as good and sometimes exceeds that Of the main office. Many Waterville people of the opinion that all mail de- posited in Waterville Is handled again in Waterbury, save to seek time by carrying their mail to the city for mailing. As matter Of fact Waterville enjoys through pouch service and receives three malls in and three out each day, most or them served directly by the Nauga- tuck division of the New Haven road. Outgoing mails close at a.. m. 1O:3O a. m, and 6:3O D. m., and incoming mails arrive at 5:lo a, m,, 11:45 Q. m., and 1:46 p. m.
 Waterville also has excellent car- rier service, the work of Carriers Early and Geigle meeting with ap- 1 probation throughout the commun- ity. During the heavy traffic of this week the carriers will have assist ance in handling the above normal volume of mail.
