CHRISTOS. SELDOVIA STEELE
Christmas has come and gone the world
over, but in Seldovia a very special and
pleasant, memory of the holiday season is
with us still.
Christmas’ In Seldovia this /year, as. ,per-'
haps it was in other years, too, was a time
of generous giving and - thoughtfulness toward
others. All of the true meaning of the
Christmas season seems;to.hav^ found expres
sion in our.town this year.
Christmas began, for many of us* with- the
special mail delivery late Tuesday after
noon, .Steve Zawistowski and Gene Wadsworth
made an early mail run to Homer that day in
order that all the Christmas packages and
greetings lying in the Homer postoffice
might reach Seldovia before the holiday.
Fostmistress Susan English and her family
worked until late Tuesday evening to get the
mail into boxes and to its' proper destina
tion. . . , (
And on Christmas day homes throughout our
town were opened to those of us who were a
lone on the holiday. Special remembrances
and gift boxes were delivered from door to
door all through the day, and the holiday
greetings exchanged on the street had a war
mth and friendliness that came straight from
the heart of the sender.
To those of us who had not been privileg
ed to spend the holiday in Seldovia before;
this Christmas of 1946 will be a pleasant
memory for many days to come. *

MAIL LOADS
NOT UNUSUAL
THIS SEASON
Despite the talk
of of mail”
lying in the post
office at Homer awa
iting delivery to Se- 1
Idovia, mail ship
ments to this city
.were not unusually 1
heavy for the holiday
season, postmistress
Susan English said
this week.
The heaviest sing
le delivery arrived
at the postoffice the
Thursday before Chr
istmas, when over
1,300 pounds of mail
and packages were
hauled to Seldovia,
The special run to
Homer last Tuesday
afternoon found only
700 'pounds of mail
awaiting delivery.
Belated packages
were numerous on the
regular mail run this
week, and it is ex
pected that Christmas
will "continue in Sel*
dovia for several
more weeks yet.
Much Christmas
mail was aboard the
•two' steamers which
docked at Seward on
Dec. 20 and 23.
