DEFENDS GRAND JURY

POST OFFICE
NOW PREPARING
FOR CHRISTMAS
Big Task In Moving A Deluge Of
Presents, Cards And Letters
On Unusual Scale
MAKING EFFORTS TO
AVOID TERRIFIC JAM

The Post Office Department now is
starting the most gigantic task in it's
history-the movement of a deluge of
Christmas parcels, cards and letters
while maintaining the regular flow of
millions of pieces of mail daily to and
from our armed forces all over the
world.
Indications are that the volume of
Christmas mail will be the largest on
record. Already in September, latest
month for which figures are available,
retail sales had reached a level second
only to the record month of Deem
Der, 1871. according to the Department
of Commerce. And sales are rising.
Such heavy purchases always presage
heavy mailings.
If thousands of our soldiers, sail
ors, marines and civilian friends are
not to be disappointed at Christmas
time, the public must cooperate by
mailing earlier than ever before and
by addressing letters and parcels
properly. The best efforts of the Post
Office Department alone cannot be
enough, in view of wartime Difficult
ties faced by the postal system. The
public must assist.
About $4,000 experienced postal
workers already have been taken by
the war services. Arrangements are
under way to add thousands of tenn
porary personnel to postal staffs, but
