Amarillo postal workers face the Christmas mail rush with Postmaster Gordon Jordan stating the service should stay on top. There is no local pileup yet, though an embargo on parcel post from a railroad strike last week may boost this week’s volume. About 100 extra carriers have been added to handle the workload as peak local mailing is expected today and this will be the heaviest day for local mail.
