 Tons and tons of mail are arr irving and departing from the postoffice as the holiday approach es, and the floor" Is a veritab ble beehive of activity. Order is everywhere, however, and the mail is being received and dispatched with a maximum of efficiency. Most of the extra workers have been employed at the postoffice on previous occasions and find no dif- ficulty in adjusting themselves to the strained routine of handling Christmas mail. More than 100 extra workers are employed at the postoffice during the last few days before Christmas.
