CAPTURE AWARD
Fatality Reduction So Far
This Year Nine Less
Than 1887

With { automobile fatalities re-
corded during the first 10 months Of
the year, Waterbury will be IN line
for safety award for fatality re-
duction during 1888 if the present
record is maintained to the end o.
the year. In 1887 the city had Il
auto fatalities.
If the present rate of fatalities
continues through November 0l
December, the local fatality tOta3
for the year would not be more than
10 or IL. This would be substantial
reduction from the figure for last
year.
However, it may be pointed out
seven of the is automobiles accident
deaths last year occurred in the
last two months of the year. For
that reason police are urging ex-
ceptional care on the part of motor
lists during November and December
Earlier last year, during the heavy
traffic period of the spring and
early summer, the city had gone
more than three months without a
fatal accident.
Waterbury's accident reduction
record has won it great recognition.
as well as citations from several
safety organizations. The fatality
rate thus far this year from motor
vehicle accidents is one of the lowest
in the entire country.

eYars Ago-POstal Officials Commemorate Event

Parcel Post Month, currently be-
ing celebrated by the post office
department, recalls to the minds Of
several local veteran postal work.
ers the days prior to the Inaugural
ton Of the present parcel post sys-
tenn, January /, 1913.
The pest Office department has
designated the month of November,
1888, as commemoration of the 25th
anniversary and silver jubilee of
the establishment of the Parcel Post
system.
Statistics
AS an indication of the popular
ity and success of the system, the
department points with pride to last
years record Of 700 million parcels
delivered, with revenue Of $144,-
000, 900 represented.
The local post ONCE estimates
that 5000 parcels are handled daily,
with the exception of the Christ
mas period when the volume is
trebled.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-05

Mail order houses have recognized
the benefits Of the parcel post serv-
ice, and it is largely through their
widespread use of it that it has
hourished to such an extent. The
parcel post service is unique in that
it will transport parcel from
anywhere to everywhere" No
other agency affords the coverage
or convenience of parcel post with
$4,000 post offices and $4,000 rural
carriers.
Baby Chicks
One of the most interesting Incl
dents that regularly occur in the
local post Office, is occasioned by
shipments of baby chicks. The
chicks can be shipped via parcel
post because they can do without
food for 70 hours. The interest
occurs when a shipment arrives
with a faulty address, and the chick
ems have but a few hours remain
ing in their 70 hour period.
Many times the post office has
auctioned of baby chickens to the
highest bidder, when it became i'm
possible to deliver them or return
them to the sender within the pre-
Scribed ~ hours.
Historical Sketch
Supt. of Mails Charles Plat has
offered the following bit Of history
concerning the local parcel post
service:
1.-THE first parcel post stamp sold
at the Waterbury post Office was
sold by Clerk j. w. Gardner, now
foreman of the parcel post sec
ton. When first inaugurated q
special type of stamp was used for
parcel post only. This plan was
abandoned however to allow any
postage stamps to be used on par
Gel post mail.
'The first parcel delivered was
delivered by William F. Nichols,
at that time mounted carrier
I. and now assistant superintendent
of mails. The contents of the
first parcel delivered was a Vir-
ginia ham which was addressed to
an official Of the American Brass
Co.
with the Inauguration of par
Gel post some method Of delivery
had to be devised and a contract
was entered into with a Mr..
Shepard furnishing horses and
wagons for this purpose. This
service was later provided by a
Mr.. King who conducted a livery
stable on North Main street. The
use of horses and wagons was
continued until about 1916 when
John johnson (now out of the
service) and Otto Reichenbach, at
present serving one of our main
business routes, furnished their
own motor trucks for the delivery
of parcel post.
Immediately after the war, au-
tomobile trucks belonging to the
war department were transferred
to the post Office department.
These trucks were converted into
parcel post delivery trucks and
the first government owned trucks
were received in Waterbury in
1921. Since that time parcel post
has been delivered in government
owned trucks. A fleet of ten
: trucks is maintained at the pres
ent time in Waterbury these trucks
being driven and serviced by gov
eminent employees.
From a small beginning Of
few parcels day, the Water
bury post Office now receives and
dispatched 5000 parcels day."
