4 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Tuesday, July 17, 1956 Many Pass In Doors, New Post Office Opens The busiest spot in Whitby .yes- terday was the new post office, on the corner of Dundas east Perry streets. From the time the doors were opened, at 9.00 am, a steady stream of customers passed through the new building. The big- gest job confronting the staff yes- terday, was that of changing post office box keys. Postmaster Wil- liam Brown said that he has tried to keep box numbers the same as they were in the old building, as much as possible, to facilitate sort- ing, etc., but that this has only been ible in a limited "i of cases. Mr. Brown said that new sets of keys will have to be given to 845 customers. The majority of the keys were handed out yesterday. MOVING BIG JOB The operation of switching from one office to the other was no little task. The entire staff of the post office worked all day Saturday, and many of the staff members worked throughout Sunday, in- stalling equipment in the new and | building. Of the comments heard in the lobby of the new office, the most frequent remark was about the clean, spacious air of the building. Although by actual measure, there is little difference between the size of the lobby in the new office and that of the old, there is much more room to move around, and much more light. Though hundreds of people passed through the office during the day, at no time was it congested in the way that was familiar in the old building on early closing day. On the other side of the wicket, too, there is more freedom of movement, Behind the public bar- rier is a spacious work floor. about his duties unhindered. | system of neon lighting, {huge windows, also contribute to | make the new office a more pleas- ant setting in which to work. where each of the clerks can 8 plus the Postmaster Brown said that it will. probably take a day or two until "things really seitle down to normal, in the new office. sorters will have to learn a new system, as the uping of post office boxes is different from that in the old building, and there are many other details with which the staff Will be more familiar in the next day or so. Meanwhile, nobody knows what is to become of the old post office building on the four corners. Pop- ular speculation has it that the building will be put up for sale by the government. Mr. Brown was unable to say definitely whether or not this course of action would be taken. Another unknown factor is the post office clock. The 50-year-old timepiece may, or may not, con- tinue to chime out the hours. Mr. Brown said that he has not been notified as to whether the post of- fice caretaker will continue to wind and tend the old clock.
