Don’t Blame The Mailman If The Christmas Mail Comes In Late Public Indifference Until Last Hour Makes Car- rier’s Task One Human- Iy Impossibfe. Judging by the amount of mail that has been handled by the local post office thus far it seems certain that many people will be disap- pointed In the time of dellvery of thelr mail. Although there is a line of peaple the whole length of the post office bullding constantly waiting for thelr turn at the stamp window the amount of mall handled is not what it should have been. ' Evidently people fall to reallze the necessity of malling early and consequently when they come to the post office heavily laden with packages and other maliling matter they find, to their {nconvenience the discomfort, that they are forced to wait any- where from 15 minutes to a half hour for their turn. Despite the fact that malling s lelated, the amount of mailing mat- ter that Pas been handled by the department so far has exceeded that of other yearg by far. There has been a general increase in ' the amount of all classes of mail and a declded increase in the amount of percel post packages. The post office staff has been increased con- slderably in order to handle the hristmas matl. Postmaster Erwin this afternoon stated that it will be utterly im- possible to deliver all the Christmas mal] before 11 a. m. on Christmas day and as a consequence the local post oftice will have a great deal of nail left over for a post Christmas delivery, Sunday night 256 bags of mall were recelved at the local post office, ©On Saturday 32 truckloads of parcel | post were delivered in the city.
