that will be delivered to our boys on
Christmas day.
These boxes have to be in the
hands of the Red Cross chapter by

yourself. When packed, the box un-
sealed and unwrapped, ready for in
spection, should be taken to the Red
Cross headquarters. Parcel post zone

are to remain in custody of the Red

Nothing should go in Christmas
parcel which will not keep fresh from
the time of packing until Christmas.
