Postoffice Force 1
Oat As Cancellatit
The rush at the city postoffice
pyramided so much that on Friday
the counting device on the cancellation
machine gave up the ghost and
! went crazy.
The result was that the eancellaI
tion figure was 29,000. However,
' Charlie Ramsey says this is in error
j and estimates that some 19,000 pieces
went out of the local office that i
day.
Overtime is the keynote at the
postoffice, with all clerks, city carriers,
rural carriers and six extras
working until their tongues hang
out. Jim Willis, the mail messenger,
is looking more and more harried,
as both out-going and incoming
mail gets heavier and heavier.
But the mail is moving.
Every piece which is placed in the
box goes out the same day, according
to Assistant Postmaster George
Hord. ' I
The push started on December 15, |
with 13,760 cancellations. Tuesday |
went to 17,230, Thursday was a little
more at 17,410, and then it was |
Friday.
Sunday was a relatively light day
! with only 1406 cancellations up to j
[2:30 in the afternoon, but from the j
piles of mail stacked around it was
hard to imagine how more could j
be handled.
Total cancellations for the seven
days, including the estimated count
on Friday, was 94,756.
And the postoffice employees figured
th^l yesterday would be ano- '
ther record-breaker.
King Thanks faycees '
For "Iron Lung" Gilt
i ???* i
Fire Chief Grady King issued a
statement yesterday in which he'
thanked the Junior Chamber of j
Commerce for the gift to the city of ,
a portable respirator.
"On behalf of the fire department, j
I wish to thank the Junior Chamber j

mean the saving of a life.
