Postmaster General Urges School
Children TO Mail Their Christmas
Packages This Week To Avoid Rush

dressed letters must wait on
the slow moving poorly ad-
dressed letters Just like the
larger boys and girls are Ge-
layed By q bunch of bad kds~
tagging along.
You boys and girls can help
the postal service and save
your father some money, be-
cause he has to help pay the
cost Of searching addresses on
letters and parcels sent out by
this one careless and thought
less family in every ten.
First find ont if your family
is the careless one, then bear
in mind that your letters must
be handled by skilled mail dis
trfbutors standing in postof-
fees and on swaying postal
cars OF a mile-a-minute mail
trains, often under poor light.
The address on every letter,
card, or package must be cor
rect, complete and legible, in
Guiding the house number and
name OF street, and the from"
address should be in the upper
left-hand corner SO that the
mail will be returned to you in
case It is not delivered. Do
not abbrevfate names of states,
because SO many look alike
when abbreviated.
Just Be Plain.
Put the proper amount Of
postage on your letters and
wrap the parcels carefully.
Avoid fancy writing. which
causes p~ostoffice clerks and
letter carriers to stop and
study, and thus lose time. Make
the address plain and easily
read, and always use pen and
ink, or typewriter and light col
ored envelopes, so as to save
the eyes of the ~postoffice
clerks. Do not use envelopes
of unusual size. The little ones
that are so frequently used for
cards and notes at Christmas
and other holiday times cause
an untold amount of trouble
and labor, as they will not fit
our cancelling machines and
must therefore, be Cancelled by
hand. Because of their size
and tendency to slip out of a
package, these small envelopes
are more likely to be overlook
ed or lost.
Mail your letters and pack
ages early in the day, because
this avoids overlooking and de-
laying mails at the end of the
day
Your local postmaster and
your teachers will tell you
more about the postal service.
Do these things, and you will
win the grateful appreciation
of the people in your postof-
fee and especially OF
