By R.A.R. Christmas is coming! ® 6 eo And, at the post office, which is part of Santa’s far- flung system, arrangements are being made. For instance, an order for 70,000 1970 Christmas stamps has been given and shipment is expected any day. The stamps this year are of two kinds — religious and other- wise. A year ago Mount Joy office sold 50,000 of the six- cent holiday stamps and ran out well before Christmas. Thus, with a heightened pub- lic interest in the special stamps and because collectors will be wanting samples of both kinds, the local office is laying in a considerably larg- er supply for the coming sea- son.
