 The postoffice is preparing for the ad- l litional delivery of mail and Christmas packages to the citizens of Wiilimantic. Hlvery year at this time the work at the i postoffice keeps the men at top speed and the public can aid in the handling of packages and mail if all will dc theiI I share before placing the mail in the box es for collection. Every parcel should bf carefully wrapped, the address should bf plainly written sufficient postage should 1! be placed on each. and last but not least Christmas mailing should be done early. | Postmaster John O'Rourke has received preliminary ketices in regard te the 1 handling of heavy mail but states that the postal authorities cannot assure safe delivery of mail unless the public fol lows instructions. Last year the rush at the postoffiee exceeded that of any year previous and it is expected to be as heavy this year. By sending out of town presents early they will be delivered be | fore the rush and will stand a better 1 c nance of arriving at their destinaton 1 without injury. After every Christmas
 some packages are found at the postoffice without addresses and after being helG ! f)r some time are sent to department h aadquarters. By mailing parcels and 1 following the directions of the postmaster cnels gifts will not be among this class of left-overs The usual notice of s:net l to be opened until Christmas'' or some i lhing similar will be allowed this year as :! in former years.
