Postmaster Reports
Fast-Mail Handling

With the help of practically three
weeks of inertia on the part of!
the Yuletide gift senders, the Ann1
Arbor postoffice is finally getting
back to normal running order, ac-
cording to Postmaster A. C. Pack.
This year's Christmas season, the,
report said, was one of general im-
provement in the mail handling at
the central office. It would seem,
that the general public has at last
found ways to "do their Christmas
mailing early." The only real dis-
advantage, Pack said, came in the
handling of gift packages which
were either insufficiently wrapped
or without adequate addresses.
Poorly addressed leters and pack-,
ages have caused a delay of three
weeks in clearing the office.
