“This may not have been the biggest rush of Christmas mail, but it’s sure been a big one.’’ These are the words of Syracuse postmaster Ernest E. Bushong this week as he saw the usual flood of Christmas mail subside. <s He would offer no estimate of the number of single pieces of mail and parcels that went through the Syracuse post office during the past 10 days. Postmaster Bushong said the real rush began on Monday, Dec. 14, and is slowing down early this week. Extra help has been employed to handle the rush of mail here, Bushong stated, and regular postal employees, both in the post office and on the rural and city routes have been working extra hours. 0 This is one time of year when they could use a larger post office and more help, all employees seem to agree.
