EFFICIENCY'S THE WORD: The Christmas season represents the biggest challenge of the year for the Ann Arbor Post Office, and this is the biggest Christmas mailing season yet. But methods evolved through long years of experience enable the huge mail-handling chore to proceed smoothly and efficiently. The complex mail-sorting process, for instance, stars right at the very beginning -- when the mailer turns in his cards, letters and packages. Instead of dropping them into slots, he hands them to a girl in the Post Office lobby,. She sorts them into three classes -- city mail, state mail and out-of-state mail.
