To Beat The Christmas Mail Rush

"It's time to start those Christ
mas mailings", Bluffton Postmaster
Edward r. Reichenbach warned this
week, launching his 1855 mail Early
for Christmas" campaign.
"On the calendar it's a month
away but here in the Post Office it's
Christmas today-and every day until
December 25th", he said. Extra mail
carriers and office help have been Sc
cured, the delivery trucks serviced,
Post Office inkwells filled and in fact
everything is ready for the mammoth
flood of Christmas mail that is ex-
pected to smash all records.
The Post Office has already dis
patched large quantity of gift
packages headed for members of the
Armed Forces overseas. Christmas
cards for service personnel can still
be delivered in time if they are sent
by air mail before December 1st. In
the U. S. A., smart people are now
mailing gifts to friends and relatives
living in other states.
Postmaster Reichenbach especially
calls on housewives to help in his eff
fort to deliver every package anc
Christmas card before December 25th
"The lady of the house., he empha
sized, "is really in charge of eacf
family's Christmas mailing program
She selects the Christmas cards, buy!
most of the gifts and sees to it tha
the mailing list of friends and loved
ones is up-to-date.
Actually, success in having al
Christmas gifts and greeting card
delivered on time is largely matte

/ II you will come to the Post Office
before 1880 am. or between 1870 and
$3.50 p.m., thus missing the rush
hours. On your way home pick up a
supply of heavy wrapping paper,
sturdy empty cartons, strong cord
and kraft paper adhesive tape. A
modest investment in these necessi-
ties will pay big dividends in safe
delivery of your cherished Christmas
gifts.
After your gift wrapping and pack
ing is complete, plan your mailings
so that those for the most distant
points go first. Try to get all long
distance mailings into the Post Office
before December 5th and those for
nearby points should be mailed by
