Pointers For Christmas Mai! To Overseas Servicemen
Be sure your mail to ser
vicemen overseas is not among
the thousands of items that win
be lost or delayed this year.
To help you insure safe del
ivery of packages and letters
this yegr these suggestions have
been rfcflffed to you from ar
ticles in U.S. News and World
Report Magazines and from
various other sources:
1. Be sure to use all of the
serviceman's address. Many
people do not Include ALL FIVE
digits of the APO or FPO St
ation. V you do not add them,
your mail is not likely to reach
its destination. Write each dig
it at the end of these stations
plainly to insure rapid delivery.
2. Write the serviceman's
rank, full name and service
number.
3. His military unit must be
complete (as he gives it on his
return address In the letters
he writes.
4. His gateway, post office,
San Francisco, New York, etc.
should be preceeded by "A.
P.O." or "F.P.O." and follow
ed by a 5-digit number.
If these directions are not
carefully followed his mail may
be delayed or lost.
DEADLINES
Deadlines for mailing Chris
tmas packages are given by
Defense ana Post Office De
partments;
1. After Nov. 9, it is too late
to send parcels by regular
mail, but if regular rates are
used and the parcels weigh less
than 5 pounds they can 6e sent
by Space-Available mail (SAM)
until N?v. 23rd. Suet} parcels
will be airlifted on a space
available basis from EaSt or
West Coast to Overseas Areas.
2. Parcel-Airlift (PAL)isthe
designation given parcels we
ighing 30 pounds or less that
cat be sent for an extra fee
of $1.00 on a space-available
basis. Such parcels will be
airlifted, when the space is
available, from point of mail
ing to overseas areas. The de
adline on this type of mail is
Nov. 30th.
3. Air Mail has priority on
airlift all the way. This may
be sent until Dec. Uth. It
would pay to check with your
post office on size limitations.
4. You can insure delivery
of a package in Vietnam bef
ore Christmas on a special U.S.
Cargo ship by writing "Santa
Claus Special" just above the
address. This ship, carrying
parcels with regular postage
only, will sail from California
on November 21 or 22 and un
load at three ports in Vietnam
before the holiday. Ask your
postmaster about regular
Mail's possibility of making
this deadline in California.
Use sufficient cushioning (cr
umpled paper is good) inside ;
your packages so that the ar
ticles you are sending will not
rattle or move around. In ad
dition to articles normally pro
hibited to the mail, matches of
all kinds *id lighter fluid can
not be sent by mail to over
seas military addresses.
Enclose a sheet of paper (or
slip) on which you have written
the name and address of the per
son to whom you are mailing
the package, your own name and
address (as the person who is
sending package) and the con
tents of the package. This
could be helpful in case your
package is torn or broken in
transportation.
Carefully package all articles
in a strong box, wrap it sec
urely with heavy paper and
tie it well with a strong cord,
(it is also a good idea to wr
ite the name and address on the
box before wrapping and tying.
Write names and addresses
of both sender and serviceman
the package is to go t o in
pen and ink or with a type
writer label.
And don't forget that APO
or FPO five-digit number pla
inly at the end of the destin
ation.
Happy Landings!
P.S. Enclose a few Chris
tmas decorations-the less fra
gile kind-the boys are asking
for them too, espeel all y some
familiar ones that look like they
came from home.

tive learning "rooms.'
