"While It's too late to talk
. about early mailing of Christ
mas gifts and cards," Post
master Joe Ray said today,
"I am grateful for your ex
cellent cooperation to date
, on my 'MailEariyForChrlst
mas' Campaign."
"Time means everything
now." he continued - "Even
a few hours delay In getting
your cards and gifts mailed
may mean disappointment to
your friends and loved ones on
Christmas Day."
With the Christmas mall
load now hitting Its peak, here
are a few of the postmaster's
Important reminders - Don't
mall money in Christmas
cards or parcels. - Use pos
tal money orders or checks.
Be sure to Include full name
and address, postal zone num
bers and YOUR return address
either written or printed on
every card and package. -
Parcels of real value should
be Insured, and if they contain
delicate gifts, mark them
"Fragile", and foodstuffs
subject to spoilage should be
marked "Perishable."
The Postmaster suggests
that last minute mailers use
Air Mail for their Christmas
cards and gifts that are going
out of town. There Is still
time fo local delivery, but
all Christmas cards should
be sent by First Class mail.
The Postmaster said."Now
that we are coming to the end
of the big rush, let's all keep
up the good work so that we
can have every mall bag empty
and every Post Office em
ployee relaxing at home on
Christmas Eve."
