spoiled condition you should promptly
report the facts to the department to-
gether with the name of the postoffice

delivery. You should bring forcibly
to the attention of persons mailing
parcels of perishable matter the desir-
ability of securing special delivery
treatment by affixing the necessary
additional postage. In this way deliv-
cry Of all parcels of such matter will
be expedited. AS set forth in Circular
NO. 3, postmasters are required TO eff
feet prompt delivery of all perishable
parcels arriving on Saturday nights

ers will be relieved thereby of the ne
cesslty Of employing other means for

the cost of urgent deliveries and re-
lieve many postmasters of an embar-
