Show NO MAIL CHRISTMAS DAY Widespread approval has greeted the recent announcement of the Postmaster Post-master General that there will be no mail deliveries on Christmas Day. Almost without exception the American public has agreed with the inherent justice of the ruling which given to the army of postal employees some of-the holiday privileges enjoyed enjoy-ed by others, but so long denied them. Of course the ruling applies only to the coming Christmas, being in the nature of an experiment, the success or failure of which will determine the procedure next year. The Postmaster General was enabled en-abled to take the course he did as a result of the success of early mailing campaigns conducted in past years through the press and the "movies" and over the radio, which had the effect ef-fect of moving the peak of holiday mailing back as- far enough to justify the experiment. Officials of the Department who are watching the experiment closely have the utmost confidence that it will go through without hitch and that Christinas Day of the future will he a day of rest for the postman and the posal clerk. To accomplish this purpose, and it is believed a laudable one the American public must mail holiday tokens and greetings in time for delivery de-livery at least before the close of business, December 24 If there is any appreciable mail left over for delivery on December 2 6, it will militate against the chances of postal workers for a similar holiday in 1926. |
