Christmas Mail (Continued from Page 1) ber of . parcels which have been stemped by the senders. The parc- els which are sent through the re- gister do not bear stamps, but have the postage printed on the parcel. Half a Million Stamps An amazing total revealed today is the sale of lc stamps during the month of December to date. Osh- awa citizens have baught 585,000 one-cent stamps i nthe last three weeks--over half .a million Christ- mas cards can' be sent for this amount. Carriers Work Just Starting Although much of the Christmas mail has now passed through the Post- Office and been sent to out- lying points, the work has just started for the carriers who must deliver the mountains of mail. They are -- quite literally -- up to their hips in biindles of letters, with all spare floor spize in the Post Office annex on Simcoe Street South covered with boxes, bags, car- tons, and bundles of letters. The worst' started Sunday when all regular employees worked a full 12- hours day. Starting in at 5.30 this morning, the carriers and letter sorters will be lucky to be finished by 8:00 p.m. tonight, and they will work these sort of hours until Fri- ay. The days in the past when car-- riers also had to work on Christmas day itself are over now; and al- though the mailmen are glad of it, they also are aware that it just means that they have to get the mail delivered a day earlier than before. Over 400 Bags Sent Out The records whizh were set, and are reset almost every year, rep- resent from 10 to 12 times the usual volumé& of mail, posal officials re- port. And all those 120,000 letters are entirely apart from the trem- endous number of parcels that pass through the office. The Sat- urday night train to Toronio took almost 400 bags of parcels from the Oshawa office, as well as a new record of J9 locked bags of mail. At 80 pounds apiece, those 19 bags represented abous 70,000 letters. During the Christmas season, an average of about 250 bags of par- cels are sent from Oshawa daily. This morning, the Post Office will deliver another 75 bags (full -and overflowing, say the posties) in the city alone. Not counted in this tremendous | volume of mail are the metered let- ters, which are stamped by the sender, of overweight letters, which must be cancelled by hand. A big headache to the sorters are the let- ters which have the stamp in some odd unusual place, for all of this mail must be hand-cancelled too. Proper Bundling Speeds Handling Credited with speeding up this year's service "tremendously" was the habit of tying all letters in bundles, with the stamps in the upper right-hand corner, This mail can be fed directly into the can- ing the highest standing in the Middle School Examinations, Sci- ence Option, won by Brian Coggins, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Cog- gins, 690 Mary Street, Oshawa. celling machine, Instead of being sorted first. Mr. Moran took special care to remind the public of the service given by the carriers. "The staff here give everything they have gos to try and get the mail out. As long as I have been in the Post Office, I have never seen a mailman who would be away for any reason, sick- ness or otherwise, if he could help it at all, during the Christmas seas- on.

FALSE ALARM Edmonton -- (CP) -- Scores of sleepy guests, ready to evacuate a local hotel, mumbled their way back to bed in the early morning recently when it was discovered that there was a "bug" in the hotel fire alarm system. A short circuit set off the alarm. AERIAL DOGFIGHT Toronto--(CP) -- Office workers had a grandstand seat for an aer- ial dogfight between two hawks and a flock of starlings. The starlings won the fight. Naturalists say it is usual for a group of small birds to band together in defence against stronger ones.
