Aid the Postmistress With the approach of the Christ- mas Season work is becoming heavy in the Post Office. The Postmistress again asks the co-operation of all patrons to speed the service, Here are ways which you can help: (1) Don't rush' to the Post Office as soon as the mail arrives and visit with your neighbor. rt takes con- siderable time to sort the mail and the hum of conversation distracts workers and slows sortation. (2) Don't bring your parcels and delay the general delivery while they are being weighed. Post them before 11.30 •a,n. and after 2.45 p.m This is especially imnortant this year when the wickets are being elosed from 12.304.30 p.m. daily, (3) Post letters and cards early. Remember that your neighbors mail is every bit as important, as yours, so don't expect it all to go if it's posted at the last minute. Trains don't wait and roads may be bad. (4) If you bave a number of cards and lettere, stamp and face them all the same way and tie in a bundle. This saves the Post Office clerk or meal courier •one handling. If these rules are followd it will save delay in the despatch of mails from this office.
