SOLDIERS CHRISTMAS PACKAGES

A plan has been perfected whereby
the final mailing date for Christmas
parcels for soldiers overseas has been
extended to November 30.
The plan also includes a provision
for furnishing Christmas labels to in
dividuals who have not received
labels from soldiers in the American
Expeditionary Forces upon the re-
ceipt of signed application stating
that the applicant is the nearest of
kin in the United States, that no
label has been received from abroad
and that should one subsequently be
received it will not be used. The ap-
plicant must also state that to the
best of his knowledge and belief only
one Christmas parcel will be sent to
the proposed recipient.
This arran cement has been MADE
at the request of the war department
to prevent disappointment to those
who have not received labels from
abroad and is intended to insure the
delivery of one parcel to each man.
The local chapter has ordered a
supply of labels and will have them
ON hand in day or so.
