NEW POSTAL RATES
TO BE EFFECTIVE
JANUARY I, 1952
Although U meant working on
Saturday afternoon and evening
and arriving at work at the out
rageous hour of seven o’clock on
the morning before Christmas,
the l«»cal postal employees were
pleased that all Christmas pack
ages were ready for delivery in
time for Santa Claus.
"We appreciated the fine co
operation of everyone during the
rush season in picking up parcels
to make room for more and also
♦heir patience while waiting in
line”, said Postmistress Beatrice
Huntley the day after Christmas.
With the start of the New Year,
new rates and charges on postal
erviccs will go into effect.
The new drop letter rate of two
c'mts for each ounce or fraction
thereof will be charged for local
delivery through the Post Office
boxes or general delivery. Letters
to be delivered by a rural carrier
will continue to be charged ac
cording to the present three cent
rate. The penny postal card will
be a thing of the past as the New
Year dawns. The nev. charge on
postal cards will be two cents,
and on quantities of 50 or more,
there will be an additional charge
of 10 percent of the value. Fifty
two-*cent cards will thus cost
$1.10. It’s cheaper to buy two
bunches of 25 cards each.
Changes on rates of second and
third class mailing also go in
effect, but there are no new
changes in parcel post rates for
the Territory.
