Postmaster Ralph Stearns an
nounced his annual "Mail Early
for Christmas" campaign this
week and outlined plans for in
Suring delivery of all gifts and
cards by Christmas Eve.
It's not too early to check
mailing lists, making sure full
name, street and number, city,
zone and state are included on
each envelope and package.
Early shoppers should also
stock upon heavy wrapping paper
and sturdy corrugated cartons
needed for safe wrapping. Stamps
can also be purchased to avoid
waiting in long lines later al
the P. o. window.
AS to local deliveries, Mr..
Stearns said that Bluffton resi-,
dents can be most helpful ir
keeping sidewalks clear of snow
so that heavily burdened carriers
can use their mail carts, also ir
front of rural boxes.
Mr.. Stearns also reminded thai
the Post Office provides free
labels which read, ALL FOF
LOCAL DELIVERY" and "ALI
FOR OUT OF TOWN DELIV
ERY," so that cards can bt
sorted into two groups before
they are mailed, with addresse:

but extremely helpful to the Pos
