Post Office Breaks
Records For Mailing
For Christmas
The Post Office Department
breaks records for mail volume
eveiy Christmas but 1967 may
break more records than any
previous year, Postmaster R. E
Sharpe said today.
In urging local citizens to mail
early lor Christmas, Mr. Sharpe
said the four-state Atlanta Reg
ion o i which his office is a
part, will handle 100 million
-.ore pieces of mail this Christ
mas tljciii last year.
"This increase alone is equal
;o tV-e total volume of mail in
f- p. tries for an entire
? o- th," he said.
?v.'! k s the people cooperate
an.i.\,e. their Christmas mailing
'oik. early, we arc going to be
, swamped just before
Christina-'." he said. "Things will
awfully chaotic."
" Regional Director C. Banks
Gladden today informed the
Postmaster that the volume of
mail to be handled in North
Carolina, South Carolina, Geor
gia and Florida will total 1,
276 700,000 (Billion) pieces in
December ? an increase of 100
million or 8.4 per cent over last
December.
The postmaster cmpha-teed
thio figure represents the total
incoming and outgoing pieces to
be handled by all postal stations,
which is the basis for determin
ing the amount of Christinas
employment.
The actual originating mail
within the four-state area is ex
pected to total 478.8 million
pieces, an increase of 32.7 mil
lion over last year, he saldo
Nationally, the Post Office
Department is expecting a rec
ord Christmas volume of about
nine billion originating pieces of
mail.
"The Post Office Department
has completed its planning for
the holiday season," Mr. Sharpe
said. "We can handle the ex
pected increase in mail and get
it delivered on time if people
will mail early."
Experience in the Atlanta
Region has shown that 65 per
cent of all Christmas mail is de
layed until the final 12 work
days just before Christmas Day
itself.
If this happens again, the Post
master said the 48,000 postal
employees who work at 2,400
post offices in the Region will
be deluged with 799 million
pieces of mail during this critical
12 day period. The Greensboro
office employs 1,101 people.
"Handling this mail will be an
almost hopeless task," he said,
but he added this log jam can be
prevented with the cooperation
of mailers.
Mr. Sharpe urged that thes?
dates be observed for domestic
surface mail:
? Gifts to distant states, Dec.
4.
? Greeting cards to distant
states, Dec. 10.
