BABY CHICKS - The Baby Cnick shipping season is getting under way in earnest again.
So far we have been fortunate in the handling of these shipments. This has not been
because of luck. Continue to use extreme care in —
(1) V/hen accepting a Baby Ctiick shipment be sure that it is "iresh" - (iiecoru
time received and trip i'orwarded. This inforraation for your files.
Record times on airbill if shipment originating your station. This will
prove valuable in case of claims.j
(2) Use extreme care in warehousing and loading on ships. Be sure that the
chicks are not exposed to drastic changes in temperature. Don't let them
get too hot or too cold - store so that air can circulate. Pay particular
attention to this '/^en storing in crowded cargo bins. Don't Store in rear
cargo bins,
(3) Should shipment be delayed in route by WA or mechanical the Purser will be
responsible for notifying ground personnel of sudi shipment v/ho in turn
will exercise their good judgment in estimating length of delay and what
disposition is tO'be made of shipment.
(4) Receiving; station will notify consignee as expeditiously as practical of
shipment's arrival. Again care will be used in warehousing until final
disposition is made.
Remember one justifiable claim, can 'V'ri.pe out all profits in AF for a long time.
There is no substitute for good common sense - let * s use it.
