Mannheim has Seventh heavy Raid in month

LONDON, Dec. 23 —(CP) -’I'he seventh heavy raid this month on Mannheim, strategic German Rhine

reported today by the Alr Minis- try, which said Royal Air lbrce bombs had forced Germany to di- vert France-bound nllway traffic to s less satisfactory line and bald seriously impeded rlver traffic. The ministry's news service said British bombers in "one crowded hour" poured thousands of incen- diary bombs and some “very heavy" explosive missiles on Mannheim and its industrial neighbor, Inidwlga- haven. The raid was one of the night's air attacks orl the Rhine- land, air-fields in German-occupied territory. and the invasion ports of Flushing, Dunkerque, and Cal-

(An indication that the far- ramglng British bombers were on the wing again Monday night came from ‘Basel, Switzerland, where air raid alarms were sounded. Swiss alarms often have indicated British raids on Italy er Southern Ger- many.)

The repeated attacks on Mann- heim were believed to be part of a scheme to sever the rail communi- cation between the Saar Valley of Germany and Italy, as well as ob- struct traffic to and from France.

The Air Ministry said it has learned from sources other than pilots that rreat damage has been done at Mannheim.

‘The Rhine harbor was hlt and barges sunk," the Ministry said. "As a result the river traffic which

He said he left his work with the army "with deep personal re- gret. . . strong in the conviction that mail for Illflll the British sol- dier has no superior anywhere." He went 0n:- "We have rebuilt with all speed. The threat of immediate invasion menaccd our land. The work was pushed forward rapidly. Hour by hour our defences were strength- ened, our army reorganized, equip- ment issued; until. in the later

New records Made at local Post Dfliee

What is believed to be all all time record for incoming mail to tcc lo- cal Post Office was established Sull- dny morning when 11 truck loads were delivered there. The letters and parcels in the assortment ar- rived at the office at six o'clock in the morning when the train was hours overdue reaching the city. There were l3 bags of letters or cards alone in the trucks. Mr. Har- old L. Pickard. Superintendent of Malls, said that this was the largest amount o1 mail he remembered be- ing delivered at the Charlottetown Post Office during his thirty years there. The largest remembered by him was seven truck loads during a former Christmas rush. Saturday's mail was also particularly heavy.

On each of two days last week there were 50,000 cards or letters mailed at the local office. Besides this the staff was busy handling the thousands of cards arriving from the mainland. The surprising thing about the rush is that everything which arrived up until noon Sun- day was delivered before noon yes- terday. Letter carriers worked from six o'clock Friday evening and crin- tinued through the night and made the eight o'clock delivery Saturday morning.

What is believed to be the largest sale of stamps in any single day in the history of the Post Office was made Thursday of last week when $1112. worth were sold. The record before this had been $1000. worth for a single day. The large staff M; the office kee-lxs the mail moving twenty-four hours a day.

"The public has responded and the mailings have been earlier and more gradual than in former sea- sons, there bcilig no serious conges- tion i'li the corridors and at the wickets." Mr. E. J. Gallant. District Director of Postal Services said summing up conditions during this Csristmas rush season.
