November christmas
Mailing Month"
Saws Postmaster

Delivery of the annual flood of Christ
mas gifts and cards on time, always a
serious problem, will be more a prob
lem this %year--it will be an impossible
ity-unless Christmas mailings are made
largely in November" Postmaster Cen
eral Frank c. Walker warned today.
Transportation facilities are burden
ed to the limit with war materials and
personnel, and the Postal Service has
sent more than thirty-one thousand ex-
perienced employees into the Army and
Navy" Mr.. Walker said. "The only So
luton to the Christmas problem is:
MAIL IN NOVEMBER. Mark your par
GELS, DO Not Open Until Christmas
That is the only way to avoid disap-
pointment on Christmas Day not only
for many civilians but also for millions
of members of the armed forces who are
still in this country.
at is also the only way to avoid the
possibility of a Christmas emergency in
the transportation and postal services.
If the public will cooperate by mailing
their Christmas parcels DURING NO
VEMBER. we can handle a small vol
ume of light, last-minute mailings, such
as cards, up to December 1O-but we
can do that and avoid an emergency
only if November is really Christmas
Mailing Month";"
Postal officials pointed out that the
volume of mail now is far above IN
previous records. that railway cars by
the hundreds have been diverted to war
service and that the air lines have only
about half as many planes as they once
operated.
More than two hundred thousand ex-
ira temporary employees normally are
employed to help with the holiday post
al rush. This year, the extra employees
will be largely women and high school
boys and girls who are unable to work
the long hours usually required and
whose work will be relatively slow.
To deliver the Christmas mails on
time, therefore, it is necessary that
mailings be spread out over a longer
period so that available transportation
equipment and postal personnel can be
uScu j ihoIc NCChs. IL II pE W
terly impossible to make the deliveries
by Christmas if mailers wait until the
last three weeks before the holiday, as
in normal years.
There is another reason for shopping
and mailing earlier than ever before.
Retail stores are short-handed. Purch-
asers can avoid shopping in crowded
stores, long waits for service, and other
inconvenience of late shopping if they
buy now They will also doubtless have
a better choice of merchandise than will
be available later.
Postmaster General Walker observed
that his warning is not an attempt to
tell the public what to do; it is only
an advance notification of what will
happen if they mail late. He feels that
the public is entitled to the facts, and
that when they know them, they will
decide to MAIL IN NOVEMBER.
