Carriers face perilous seas of snow, earning fines for delays, while totals show a surge in Christmas mail with 1.786 billion letters, 30 million packages, and 17 million cards nationwide. Baltimore notes similar heavy card volumes with mixed parcel trends.

Fragmentary OCR note disrupts clear event
A damaged OCR fragment references names and dates with unclear context. The readable bits mention a Monday approval and secure actions by an entity named Bregh, plus scattered words suggesting a meeting, recording, and likely a local event. The lack of coherent nouns prevents precise identification of people, places, or actions.
Illiterate OCR fragment on local election panel plan
A garbled OCR snippet outlines a local election or ward matter with names and places barely readable. It references a meeting or vote at Beech ward and a proposal or agenda tied to a specific time and location, but most details are unintelligible.
Aid for Jobless Spread Vote Money Public
Fragmented text suggests a report on aid for jobless victims and public votes. Mentions a large sum and dates or references to officials, but readable specifics are unclear. The piece appears to be a partial OCR with garbled terms and names.
