THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER "* suction Post Office Dept. Advises Public On Christmas Mail Ill anticipation of the largest holiday mail volume in the history of the Post Office Deoartment, the nation's chief "mailman", Post master General Arthur E. Summer field outlined today 10 basic point ers for users of the mails to fol low in order to assure prompt and safe delivery of their Christmas cards and gifts. 1. Address mail fully and clear ly. Write legibly or print plainly. Where applicable, use zone num bers on the address and return ad dress. Avoid using abbreviations which might contuse mail handlers. 2. Be certain that a return ad dress is printed on the upper left hand corner of both Christmas cards and parcels. This will prevent any jMUlelivered mail ending up in a leter" office. 3 ^pii not enclose coins or hard objects of any kind in letters, with out marking the envelope for hand stamping. High speed can celling machines cannot process such letters, often jam and damage letters. 4. Do not mail cash in any Christmas gift. For safety's sake, use Postal Money Orders or checks. 5. Make sure parcels are well packed and securely wrapped in strong containers. Cushiofiing ma terial, such as excelsior, shredded newspapers or tissue paper should be evenly and firmly placed on all sides of the Christina^ gift. The carton should be wrapped in heavy paper and securely tied with strong twine. fi. Gifts of a delicate nature, such as glass, china, electrical ap pliance.^ radios and musical in struments, must be marked "Fragile" by the mailer. Food stuffs should be marked "Perishable" if subject to spoilage. 7. Insure parcels. Register let ters of real value. Where only proof of delivery is required for letters of no intrinsic value use Certified Mail. Use Combination Mail where a letter or message? other than a gift tag?is to be en closed inside a Christmas pack age. 9 8. Ask at any post office for the free pamphlet, "Post Office De partment Publication No 3" which contains rates of postage and line its of size and weight for domestic mail. Another free pamphlet at post offices entitled "Packaging and Wrapping Parcels For Mail ing". 9. Mail Christmas cards and parcels early to avoid the last min ute rush and waiting in line at the post office. The besl times to avoid the last minute rush, waiting in line to avoid crowds at stamp windows in most post offices are before 10 a.m. and between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. 10. Every postal employe ? is happy to answer questions on post al rules and regulation- Anyone with problems about mailing his Christmas parcels should avail him self of the opportunity of discuss ing the problems witll postal em ployees. and take advantage of their experience. Mr. Summerfield further empha sized how important it is to start panning now to shop egrly and mail early for Christmas.
