week
The office advanced to on d

office in the second class.
Sale of postage stamps, stamped
envelopes, postal cards, last year
amounted to $8,400, or S400 more
than the required amount for a
second class office. Money order
receipts were 100000.
So far as the public is concern
ed, little difference will be noted
in the operation of the office e,
Postmaster John Carr said. There
will be one change, however. Sec
ond class offices now are closed
one-half day during the We e k.
In most offices, the half holiday
is taken on Saturday afternoon.
Postmaster Carr said that Sat-
urday afternoon is busy time
in his office, while on Thursday
afternoons there is little to do.
He therefore suggested tn {
Thursday afternoon be designated
as holiday.
Carr said there will be some
one at the office to take care of
the mails, but there will be no SER
