Handling of Christmas
Mail Gigantic Task of
Postoffice Department
The post office department now is
starting a tremendous job—probably
the most gigantic in the history of
the post office, according to J. Em
j ory Houston, postmaster, that is, the
I movement of a deluge of Christmas
| packages, cards and letters, of while mail
maintaining the regular flow
daily to and from our armed forces
all over the world,
Already postoffice sales have jump
ed tremendously and if the sales
keep mounting as they have within
the past few months, the post office
will find itself doing the biggest job
of any in recent years. Mr. Houston
told all this by way of leading up
to asking patrons to mail their pack
ages and cards and letters early if
the thousands of soldiers, marines,
sailors and civilian friends aren’t to
be disappointed at Christmas time.
Although the dead line for mailing
Christmas packages to boys overseas
has passed, Mr. Houston said the
post office would still accept these
packages, but that they would not
guarantee delivery by Christmas Day.
The post office is making strenuous
efforts to avoid the rush such as
existed during the last war, but can
only succeed if patrons mail their
packages and cards early.
JURORS DRAWN FOR
NOVEMBER TERM CITY
COURT OF BLAKELY
Sunday School. Wasn’t that fine?
And would it not be finer if EVERY
BODY in Blakely would attend the
Sunday School of their choice EV
ERY SUNDAY and study the Word
of God “that is able to make us wise
unto salvation”? Truly, we are
grateful for the 310 present last
Sunday. It
Then that marvelous offering!
seemed that the spirit of RALLY
DAY got into the hearts of folk and
they wanted to bring a worthy offer- >
ing for the purpose of making oui
“House of Worship” more beautiful
and attractive. We had set a goal
of $1,000—and, lo, we nearly dou
bled it! If anyone is ever tempted
to think of Blakely folk as selfish or
“tjght-fisted,” let them remember,
this $1,886.68! The pastor, for him
self and for the whole church organ- |
ization, wants to thank everyone who :
had part in it. j
The splendid attendance upon the
morning service, both of our own
folk and the friends of our sister
congregation, made the preacher feel
mighty good. Who said Blakely is
not a church-going town?
And we wound up the day with a
fine service at night. Our girl’s B.
H. S. Glee Club gave us several
beautiful numbers, and five goodj
speeches were made, challenging us
to do our best in the November
“BUY BONDS” campaign.
And. to cap the climax, we learn
that Brother Burford—that good
voke-fellow—will return to the ;
Blakely charge, and we are happy in |
that.
It was a great day and we praise
the Lord.
