Hits Flood Proportions

A rising tide of Garistmas mail hit flood proportions at the local post office Saturday night to send handling records to new highs, William F. Grif- fith, postmaster, said yesterday.

During the period Dec. 10 to 20 the local office handled 587.- 645 outgoing Christmas cards and 843.895 incoming in addi- tion to 14.626 parcels. Mr. Grif- fith said this was just over five per cent higher than last year ——and by way of emphasis remarked the figures quoted were for Christmas mail only and did not include the regular mail.

He expressed the personal belief the train on Saturday night brought in one of the heaviest mails in the history of this city when 1.900 bags rived.

Premier Shaw views with concern the movement of some provinces toward opting out of some cost sharing program. “Provinces may op out." he said, “taking huge amounts of money with them. thus weaken- ing the central government.
