Christmas Rush
Is On: Mail Early
Says Postmaster
Instructions Given
To Avoid Delays
In All Mailings

One indication that Christmas
is not too far away is the trickle
of parcel post packages to distant
lands and the last minute rush
of gift packages to GIs in Korea,
at the Caldwell postoffice.
Another indication is the
lengthy bulletin of instructions
issued by the postoffice depart
ment, asking the public's CO.
operation and lauding the public
for the spirit in which they re-
sponded to our requests in past
years"
According to Postmaster w. L.
Cecil, the following are a few
points to consider when mailing
parcels and Christmas cards:
Buy an adequate supply of
stamps in advance.
Address all mail plainly and
fully with your return address,
always.
Send all greeting cards as first
class mail, so they may be sealed
and contain messages.
Pack all articles tightly in
strong containers and wrap and
tie packages with heavy paper
and strong cord. Do not seal
them unless name and address
of sender are shown together
with the inscription to post
master reading:
"PostmaSter--this parcel may
be opened for postal inspection,
if necessary"
Parcels sent by air or as fourth
class matter are limited to
maximum of 100 inches length
and girth combined and are
limited to 70 pounds.
To encourage early mailing,
SenderS are permitted to mark
parcels please do not open until
Christmas"
Articles likely to spoil are not
acceptable for mailing. These
parcels must be endorsed by the
postmaster with the word per
ishable" directly above the name
on the address.
In addition to the above points,
it is suggested that gifts of any
great value should be registered
and insured, especially small
articles.
To avoid inconvenience for
yourself and for the postal en-
ployees, the wisest thing to do is
to mail your packages early, be-
fore the rush.
