The postal clerks and carriers are ! breathing easier today nllLr a stren- uous week, when all records for volume, speed and efficiency were broken Probably the man who has as| good an idea of the amount of mail handled from December 20 to 24 is Edward McAloon, whose trucks port all mail sacks between post office and the raflway sta- r.

In the registry room mail was moved through so rapidly that I don't be |lieve there were more than 50 pack- Chief Noble | \day trying to find the ages there at any one time. Two clerks kept writing up insured pack- | ages as fast as they came in. “Another thing which alded was the fact that most of our extra help had worked last year and had some idea of what to do. This expedited matters some. “True we had the usual mess of misdirected cards and letters this vear. These alu help delay | things. For instance we had one | letter arrive directed to Mr. John!

Stanley street is| served by nine different mail men; | it each man had that letter for one woman, ft| ;woul(! take nine days to deliver it."” Delays in handling of postal ma- | terial are caused by thoughtless peo- t, collided at the cor- | ple, in many cases, according to Jo- seph Grace, who has been in post offi ¥ nd who charge ot the stamp windows. “People who only comc to the post office to mail pacages once a year, cause a lot of trouble,” he add- ed. “They bring their packages in has | poorly wrapped and tied with a sin- Rogers was | found no cause for police action.

One of the greatest nui- n the postal ¢ ve to con- rd with in a rush is the woman who comes to the window, makes her purchase, received the stamps, nd then begins to fumble in a hand bag for a small purse. According to Mr. Grace she the iarge bag, takes out the closes the hag, ope the takes out her money, closes cpens the hag, puts in th and closes the bag.

Although almost 50 per cent the packages mailed during the| Christmas rush were improperly | wrapped, the cogestion in the lobby was less this year than ever, ac- cording to Mr Grace. He gives credit to the army and navy re- | cruiting officers who helped handle ithe crowds for keeping the lines moving. | Crepe paper, Mr. Grace says, | bothers the clerks a great deal. |Crepe paper wused for wappmg | packages will not stand handii and ofttimes this is tied on \\un a single piece of string. Packages | going to and coming from Canada usually are carelessly wrapped, he | added. Dolls in boxes which would crush if squeezed are handed in for mailing frequently. | | A suggestion made by Mr. Grace is that department stores feature ages for mailing. “If packages were properly wrapped and properly ad- dressed there would be no lines at | the post office,” he commented. i Gives Public Credit “The public started mailing carly and this helped a great deal,” said John E. Meehan, assistant superin- tendent of mails and superintendent | ot of carriers. The Christmas rush mwail usually carries little else than Christmas cards, parcels and news- papers, Mr. Mechan said, and the mailing of packages early by the public enabled the postal department | to handle and deliver packages with more satisfaction. were cnabled mas cards early in week, he said. Approximately 20 or 30 per cent more mail was handled this year than last by the carriers. Carriers worked the night before Christmas until midnight and some of them until one and two_in the morning, while almost all of them | were on the job at 6 o’clock Christ- { mas morning he explained. Two men were placed on each route and Dby 10 o'clock all mail was delivered. On Christmas Day 35 carriers de- livered more than 5,000 pieces each. The public is css sometimes, Mr. Meehan belicves and people will stand around in the lobby talking, | then dump a handful of letters in a box, without stamps.
