I Washington, Nov. 25.— (A. P.)— Post office officials are expecting a heavy business at the Christmas per- j l<xl this year, nioselbly heavier than ' ever before. Mail was flowing .hea vily as early as November I, It was! pointed out. and when the rush starts so early it is taken as a sign of a big rusn of holiday mail. The department began in October the usual preparations for the holi day Increase and <by Decemiber 1 the entire service will be ready. Offici als see that “mail early” campaign are having their effect on the mail ing public, resulting In the un pre ce<dlcnted early start of Christmas business. It Is estimated that the increase In pouial receipts during December over I a normal month is $8.000,000. About $1.000.000 is sipent for extra space on trains to transport the malls, the motor vehicle eervice spends approx imately $500,000 above its regular service, and another $1,000,000 goes for additional clerk hire In the var- ious postotfices to sort mail. Another item is $350,000 for addi tional carriers. Added to these Items are the millions of money order blanks, more millions of stamps, miles of twine to rebundle poorly tied packages, and thousands of square feet of emergency warehouse space. "Uncle Ham's total bill for Christ mas Is about as discouraging as dad's", the department declares. "Deliver all Cirlstmas mall by noon December 20,” Is the watch word of the service as the day draws near, and It is very seldom that the goal Is missed. iHowever, a 'bad storm may delay deliveries, and adds terrifically to the bill. A storm In New York last Christmas cost the 'Post Oflce De partment $300,000 extra for motor vehicle transport alone. The postal service does not wleli for a "white Christmas.”
