Total for Last Year
Postal receipts in Gainesville
for the 1948 calendar year have
passed the $75,000 mark and al-
ready have exceeded the grand
total for 1947, with 10 days to
go this year, Postmaster Cecil

Friday was the peak day so
far in the handling of outgoing

said, although he anticipated
Monday might exceed Friday
business.
Because of the large amount
of incoming mail, three rural
carriers, city carriers and par-
cel post deliverymen made

At Party Given
By Price Cheaney
The squeals of laughter, shouts
of joy, full tummies and expres-
sions of happiness of nearly 200
children proved that the Christ-
mas party given by Price Chea-
ney and associates Saturday in
the Gainesville Community Cen-
ter building was a great success.
The party got underway at 11
a. m. in the auditorium of the
building. Santa Claus distributed
presents to all the children. Guns,
dolls, trains, cars, gloves, and ev-
erything that anyone could think
of was given to the kiddies. Old
Santa had a hard time toting all
the presents into Gainesville from
his North Pole home.
After Santa’s appearance, the
children were entertained with
