COMMENTING on the possible effect of fuel shortages on mail service, Feazell said, "I think we've got it made for Christmas. Our mail is coming through in great shape. Of course the weather is helping us everybody is praying for no The 22 local postal vehicles (most of them quarter-ton jeep- type) run on gasoline which is purchased at the going market rate from a local gas station. The post office, as a regular customer, has not been limited hi gas purchases as yet, Fettctll Mid, although the future is hard to predict.

irrail km made to conserve gasoline, such as minimizing periods the vehicles are left idling and keeping motors well tuned, he said. "I'm sure it (gasoline price increases) will effect our budget eventually," Feazell noted, "but we are attempting to save the difference by using less gas." Mail is heavy this time of year and some deliveries have been later, Feazell pointed out, but delivery routes have not been altered. BECKLEY'S mail delivery is totally motorizd with the "park and loop" system mail carriers park their vehicles at various points on their routes and work out from that point on foot. If gas gets short, Feazell says, "We couM revert to walking more." Somt of Die tractor-trailer trucks bringing in the mail have run into truckers' road blocks, Feazell said, but the mail has been let through, along with emergency vehicles. General energy economizing measures have been undertaken at the post office, including turning off unnecessary lights, turning down the thermostat and employe car pools.

The possibility of locating an underground gasoline storage tank at the main oost office was explored, Feazell says, but various fire and safety regulations could not be met. THERE ARE 38 "star route" contractors carrying mail between the 121 post offices in the Beckley Sectional Center area; 10 of them also deliver to postal customers along the way. Thest mail carrving cor tracts are fet out far Mfc and once awarded normally last four years. Such carriers might be expected to feel the squeeze between higher gas prices and fixed income. Star route carriers can ask for adjustments, however, to compensate them for unforeseen increases in operating expenses, reports Harry E.

Hoffman, acting director of logistics for the Postal Service's Mountaineer District which takes in three-quarters of West Virginia. ORDINARILY such adjustments cannot take place in the first year of a contract, but this has been waived in the face of recent dramatic fuel price hikes. No requests for such adjustments have come in from the Becktey area as yet, says Hoffman, but there havt been increasing requests from other parts of the state. Route contracts handled by Hoffman total 327, varying from $150,000 yearly agreements with tractor-trailer operators down to a $1,200 horseback route at Romance, in Jackson County. HOFFMAN says he doesn't expect an adjustment request from the horse route, but "who knows what's going to happen with the price-of hay?" On the national scene, the Postal Service has been assured that suppliers will give it pre ference in the allocation of fue for dieset-operated vehicles.
