Nine Extras Had
Hand In Helping
With Huge Mails

The Christmas rush is finished
at London's postoffice, and from
now until after New Years the
problem will be getting back to
normal. Estimates of the mail
handled indicates that record
amount may have passed through
the postoffice this Christmas sea-
son. AS many as $4,000 pieces of
mail went out on one particular
day, according to estimates, but
many more pieces than that were
handled as incoming volumes soar
ed to a peak.
Postmaster G.. G. Schlechty said
on one day the office handled a
total of more than $1,000 cards and
letters plus all the outgoing parcel
post and third class matter. This
did no include any incoming mail,
which was heavier that day than
any other time during the season.
To handle the huge volume of
mail, Schlechty said the local Of
flee had added nine people to the
regular staff plus working the reg
ular clerks and carriers overtime.
Hundreds of extra hours have gone
into seeing that all mail is deliv-
cred on time, and only few
struggling pieces, most of which
was mailed late, will be deliverable
after Christmas.
The heavy mail, with overtime
and extra employees has been ham
died with great efficiency, accord
ing to Schlechty. No Sunday de-
liveries have been necessary, and
no second deliveries have been
needed. Most routes in the city and
in the rural areas have been brok-
en- into two parts for the rush de-
livery service The relay system has
been used extensively to keep the
incoming mail from piling up in
the office while carriers were on
the routes.
The highest day of the season
was December is when a total of
37,625 pieces of mail went through
the cancellation machine at the Of
flee. This did not include the mail
which was franked, mailed by COM
pany meters, second class mail,
third class mail and parcel post.
None of the incoming mail was in
cluded in the count.
The total of cards and letters
mailed from London during the
month of December is expected to
reach more than 100000 before the
Holiday season ends Parcel Post
mailing and second and third class
mailing will probably swell the
total outgoing mail by another fif-
ty or sixty thousand pieces.
In summarizing the successful
handling of mail locally Postmaster
Schlechty extended his thanks, and
the thanks of all the post office
employees, to the public for the
excellent cooperation in mailing
early and helping the mail handling
by using the bags marked for quick
handling. He emphasized that such
simple cooperation by the public
meant hundreds of hours saved by
the workers in the postoffice.
