That was the plea last night of local postal officials, who reported Christmas mail more than a half-million letters behind that of last year. They pointed out a heavy load of incoming mail from out of town is expected over the weekend and that this coupled with the expected late local deluge may jam 'the post office. Some cards may not be delivered until after the holiday as a result.

The discussion took place in session, and no action was taken. Board members asked the administration to spell out in specific detail the long-range construction program proposed, R. Park Parkhill, coordinator, of elementary administration, told the board that present Information indicates a need of about eight classrooms beyond the capacity of elementary schools iq the southwestern section of the city. Two classrooms in the esti mated snortage represents the two classes now housed in the basement of the Corn Hill Methodist Church. The temporary quarters were created this fall because of an unexpected overflow at School 3, Tremont Street.

In addition, other shortages of one or two classrooms are anticipated next fall in School 33, Grand Avenue, and School 46, Newcastle Road. School officials said redisricting, conversion of existing space, use of transportation units and basement rooms and every other means has been employed to avoid the need of building, but such measures can no longer meet the need. Parkhill reported that 21 of the city's 42 elementary schools are filled to capacity and can't absorb any increase in enrollment. Besdies the classroom shortage, three elementary schools labeled "obsolete" are slated for replacement. They are School 29, Moran Street; School 30, Otis Street; and School 35, Field Street.

Both Phillip C. Wolz, board president, and Dr. Howard C. Seymour, superintendent of schools, denied that a figure of million dollars has ever been mentioned in board discussions. That amount was used Monday at a City Planning Commission session in a question raised by Bernard E.

Finucane on the board's prospective capital spending for the next 10 years. Seymour said that the city, with the new East High School, should be able to handle its high school population for the foreseeable future. The possible exception would be a new building for Edison Technical and Industrial High School, occupying a converted school at 725 Clifford Ave. Other high schools are in "good shape," he said.

The plane's wings were partially folded, eliminating the necessity for folding and unfolding them at the various underpasses along the way. In the cockpit of the plane was Fred Forkell of 89 Third Gates, a Mullcr employe, who saw to it that the plane's brakes were applied when the truck stopped. The plane and its convoy was in the charge of State Police Sgt. George Cow-burn on the Thruway. Monroe County deputies Sorge and Henry Schroth picked it up at Victor and, with an assist from Fairport Police Chief Thomas Aldrich, escorted the plane to Penfield.

YOU'U IT! rarai IT EM they say overlooking such items as these: On Fairport's Main when Deputy Sheriff Frang Sorge knocked on a door to advise a woman motorist to kindly move her car "because there's an airplane coming down the street," the lady's eyes bugged.

"Oh, my goodness!" she said, scrambling into her auto and whipping it out of the way. In the center of Fairport Village, an elderly onlooker turned to another and remarked with a shake of his head: "You don't get many Thursday afternoons when there's a jet plane coming down Main St." To which his companion nodded sagely and said: "Yep or Friday afternoons cither." On the Nine Mile Point Road leading north out of Fairport, a shaggy black horse in a barnyard near the road took one look at the monster with half-folded wings and promptly bolted to the farthest corner of his corral. At a farm farther down the road three horses saw the procession from a distance and raced to the fence to get a better gander. All along the route from the Victor Thruway Interchange to Panorama Plaza, folks streamed out of houses and stores to watch the passing of the jet. The plane rolled along the Thruway, from Depew to Victor, on its own landing gear, MB JAB PUT Christmas Recess io Begin For Pupils in Districts Bonn?

The squat aircraft, given to the town recreation commission by the government out of sur plus stocks, is obsolete. But it hardly looks that to the land- locked layman.

Rochester, he pointed out, has had a 20-cent cash fare for nearly three The present token rate is 162b cents, or six for $1.

Children's and students' fare through high school seniors, is 10 cents. "Should the PSC grant Buffalo and Niagara Falls the 15; cent student and children's fare, Rochester will have by far the lowest student and children's fare in this section of the state," the RTC president said. He added: "Reduced school fares constitute an educational subsidy, and it is highly questionable just how long privately- owned public transit can pay that subsidy. School service Is expensive to furnish, superimposed as it must be on the already heavy morning-peak 'No Alternative' Last October, Lang proposed to the bus employes' union that it forego a scheduled wage in-; crease in return for no fare increase by the bus company. The union refused and Lang said the, decision left "no but to ask state authorities for; a fare rise.

The application is being pre- pared, Lang reported but he could give no indication when' it would be filed. In making its projections of, passenger use and costs to be submitted, the company figured its loss about 5 to 6 per cent monthly. To be able to pay the wage increase started last November the company will have to get! relatively prompt PSC approval of its petition, the president said. Otherwise the loss, includ-1 ing the higher wage rate, would "force" the company to re-ex-, amine its finances. Drivers and mechanics got a 10-cent hourly wage increase! starting Nov.

Lang, RTC president, said the plan marks the first time tokens have been, sold on a deferred plan in Roch- i ester. In addition to this service, the store said that in the interest of stimulating public transportation, the RTC would be pro-, moted in future Sibley advertis-; ing. The tokens are available at; Sibley's service area on the street floor according to Sibley President Arthur J.

Lang said the move should "pave the way for future steps; in a common program by down-, town department stores and RTC to promote greater use of public transit facilities."
