Mail Early Plea
Made By bennett;
Posters Placed

G.. W. bennett, Brownsville post
master. Thursday issued a plea to
residents Of this city TO begin their
Christmas shopping and mailing
early in order to avoid the last min
ute congestion.
Signs. asking that Christmas pack
ages be mailed early. were placed in
the lobby Of the postoffice Thurs
day with a sign. ritten in 1t diff
ferent languages was placed near the
money order window asking that
residents "say Merry Christmas with
postal money orders"
"It's hard for people TO realize
the congestion caused in this and
all other postoffices by the mailing
Of last minue Christmas packages"
bennett said. "If they could real
ize this. there would be no need of
the department making the same
shop early requests year in and
year out. Not only will they fore
stall congestion but their pack~~es
will be delivered more promptly IL
they will only &c them into the
mails before the last minute. Often
things become so congested the day
before Christmas that il is impos-
sible to move all packages promptly.
They will probably leave here on
schedule but congestion in other
places will cause them to be deliv-
cred late"
