Pettlt reâ€" ports that the volume of Christmas Mail this year was ‘only slightly above that of last. Incoming mail was up by 11% and outgoing mail by 3. However he feels that due to the good public relations and adveitising by the Post Office Department advising people to mail early. they did so. and therefore the flow of mail was steady and did not reach the usual tremendous climax a few days before Christmas. An additional staff of 55 temporary employees was hired to cope with the season- a1 rush and Mr. Pettit said that all mail was cleared in good time Christmas Eve. Mr. Pet- tit also indicated that general mail outgoing from the Thorn- hill Post Office has increased in the last year by about 25%. This is due to the influx of new business to the area.
