Christmas Mail Here Reached Record Peak At Post Office
More than 95 000 pieces of mail from Gerry senders were received yesterday. Assistant Postmaster Shatinan said the day’s operations show the record volume, with cancellations and processing matching the heaviest day on record. Extra staff, including 12 temporary workers and Senior High School youths, aided sorting. Delays from last week’s storm added to the load, but no major congestion occurred and dispatch proceeded on schedule. Some rural roads remain blocked and a few rural carriers have yet to cover full routes. Pope Pius XII will deliver the annual Christmas message on December 24 at Vatican City.
