&C. Post Office
Shows Big Gain

L has been said that if you seek
a good barometer or business index
check the pest office stamp sales.
IF that statement is true then
El Cenro's record for 1913 is n
record in itself.
Postmaster Penny" Richmond's
vest buttons are really popping
these days for the local office
shows an increase in business each
month of the year with 35 per
cent boost ever 1912.
Therefore, Postmaster Richmond
surmised the business incex of El
Centre must have been 35 per cent
better, 100.
Post office records show stamps
sales for first, second, third and
fourth class mails for 1943 to De
S118.321.25 as conrc"ea to $685.
37884 in 1912.
Each month receipts so far n
1914 have shown q marked increase
over the same menths in 1913, in
dicating that 1944 VII break all
records.
On March 26 the rate for first
class mailing for local delivery VII
be increased one cent, or from two
to three cents. Airmailings in the
United States will increase from six
cents to eight cents. Parcel post
rates will be increased three per
cent. Parcel insurance charges are
doubled; GOD, Money order and
registry of mail charges also are
increased in the new rule.
Postmaster Richmond pointed
out that mail to armed services or
from armed services (any person
with an Army post office number
will remain at six cents per one
half ounce or fraction.
He reminded persons sending
packages to men in the armed ser
vices that although the navy de-
partment does not require permis-
sion for a package to be mailed TO
a man in the Navy, regulations
require persons mailing a package
to an Army man show to the post
office clerk a request from the
soldier before the parcel can be
accepted for mailing.
The parcel rule still applies, he
said. Parcels to servicemen should
not weigh more than five pounds
