GOOSE BAY. Labrador (CP)- The airlift of Christmas mail pnd parcels to Canada's isolated north- gastern Arctic regions has been completed. the I?.CAF's air trans- port command announced Sunday.

Last week I. tvtln-engine Dakota aircraft from Goose Bay dropped over two tons of cheer to isolated weather stations along the north- em coast of Labrador and to scat- tered settlements on Baffin island.

At, Cape Hope Advance on the shore of Hudson strait a drop was made in total darkness aided only by the flashlights of the entire community who stood on the high- est hill to guide the plane to the iropping zone.

At Pangnlrtung on Baffin island low cloud and snow forced the air- craft to descend to 1.000 feet to find the 2V:-mile wide inlet which leads to Pangnirtung. Flying be- zween 4.000 foot mountains despite iecreasing visibility and even lower cloud ceilings the airrralt Iound the tiny settlement and made a successful drop of i2 paniers of mail and fresh food.

F0. Ralph Emery of Summer- iide, P.E.I.. and F0. Bob Reid of Vlusquodoblt. N.S.. headed the lrew. Navigator was F0. Ken Dun- run of Pasqua. Sasl-l. other crew

Record Volume of Mull Al Posfofflce

The largest vcolume of mail yet to be handled by the Charlotte- town Post office during a Christ- mas rush period. has gone through the office according to Capt. .l. J. Connolly. Postmaster, yesterday. 112,500 letters went through the automatic stamping machine last Thursday which is 35,000 more than that handled in any one-day prev- iously. Yesterday four and one- half tons of mail were transported by air to the Msgdallne Islands.

Although the outgoing mail has reached its peak, Post Office offic- ials expect that the greatest port of the incoming mail. both parcels and letters, is yet to come. Post- master Connolly exprassed sp- precietlon of the co-operation of the public in observing the "mail early" suggestion sent out at the begin- ning of the Christmas season.

Extra help in all departments is beln used. Forty-eight men are amp eyed in counting the railway mail service. No extra letter car- riers are on each of the residential walks and an inside staff is work- ing pretty well around the clock to see that no one will be disappointed at Christmas.
