 One Of the ideas brought out by the postmastcrs is to get packages that are going a long distance out Of the way carly so that local and short distance packages and mail may re- coiye more attention.
 Goods for Europe should be mailed the carly part Of December if it is to | get to its destination on time, say the officials.
