Winnipeg, Due to skillful work On the part of the pilot, the Plane made a sticeessful forced landing hi a plowed field after One engine failed* All but two of the passengers returned their flight in a relict plane Working day and night without let- up, the Post Office Department has been able to take care of the pheno- menal expansion if its normal• work, brought about during four years of war. The increase is not only in mails for overseas, for the amount of mail be- tween different points in the country has also increased enormously. Like other employers the Post Office is suffering from lack of help but increased responsibilities have been handled despite the lack of ex- perienced personnel and under the handicap of training new workers. As in 'Britain, where the percentage of female staff employed by the British Post Office Department has risen sharply, many of the new employees are girls. In Canada,' the'use of air mail has increased fourfold. The extent of this Post Office activity can be gathered by the fact that 511,000 air mail let- ter8 are being carried every day over the main Trans-Canada Air Lines routes alone. This excludes those lines which serve the nation's vast north country, Air mail service across the Atlantic over the northern route from the Dominion to the United Kingdom has proved its value. Its permanent establishment as a regular postal sery ice awaits only the days of peace. "In the, handling of; military mails, the Post Office De8artment co-oper- ates in one of the most , important phases of Canada's war effort" says the Postmaster General. "The .regu- lar receipt of letters and parcels is vitally important in maintaining the morale of our fighting men." The 'airgraph services were inaugur- ated in 1941 and have proved .most popular, At the present time more than 76,000 airgraphs are flown weekly from Canada, while in one month- $$,000 were received from across the seas. When there are heavy demands on) cargo space, airgraphs are of great value. While an ordinary mail 'bag will hold aPprOxithattly 2,400 ordinal 1 1
