Mail Heavy At
Local Postohce

Mailing of letters and packages is
particularly heavy, even for this time
cf year, according to Joseph Stanton,
assistant postmaster of the Oakland
postoffice. Usually, it was pointed out,
the Christmas mail doesn't begin to
reach its peak until about six or seven
days before Christmas, but on Mon
day 8,105 pieces of mail were can
celled, and about 10000 on Tuesday.
Mr.. Stanton this week also asked
patrons to refrain from putting out
going mail in their mail boxes at home
for carriers to pick up until after the
Christmas rush. He suggested either
bringing the mail direct to the post
office, or to use the street letter
boxes. Carriers are so loaded down
with mail to be delivered that they are
unable to accept outgoing mail dur
ing this period.
