Tips For Yuletide Mailing Ten tips on good Christmas mailing practices were given this week by Postmaster Zeto Meadows. The pointers are : 1. Mail Christmas cards and parcels for distant states In advance of December 10 and for local delivery not later than December 16 and remem ber that the best time to avoid crowds in most post offices is before 10 a. m., or between 1:30 and 3:30 p. m. Also, use stamp vending machines If stamp windows are crowded. 2. Address mall correctly ? Including full name and ad dress. postal zone numbers and your return address; write or print clearly. 3. Although Christmas cards may be sent unsealed for a three-cent rate, the four-cent first class sealed rate is desir able because It automatically assures forwarding if the ad dressee has moved and left a new address, or the card Is re turned if it is undeliverable (provided the sender has put a return address on it). 4. Don't mail money in Christmas gifts or parcels. Use postal money orders or checks. 5. When making a large mail ing of Christmas cards, separ ate them into "local" and "out of-town" bundles, using ad hesive bands which may be ob tained from your local post of fice. 0. Pack and wrap securely. Cushioning should be placed on all sides of the Christmas gift, and the carton should be wrap ped in heavy paper and tied with strong twine.
