69 Days Ahead
Before Christmas :
Noting the Christmas season is 1
"just around the corner". Post- ;
master General Author E. Sum- ‘
merfield today urged the public to t
begin planning Christmas mailings
now.
He coupled this plea with a s
warning that the Post Office De- t
partment is unable each year to f
deliver or return about half a c
million parcels including many lost F
at Christmas time because of poor li
packaging or addressing. e
He suggested several steps that r
can be taken by mailers to pro- D
tect themselves against loss:
1. Check and revise mailing f
lists. h
2. Type or hand-print gummed i:
mailing labels. Fill them out £
now and save time later. a
Use COMPLETE addresses. 1
Don’t abbreviate. Include de
livery zone number.
4. Make a list of your mailing
needs and start buying good quality
mailing materials now-strong cord,
heavy wrapping paper, and so
■ forth.
5. Get at least some Christ
• mas parcels in the mail soon with
1 a notation that they are not to be
opened until Christmas. This will
minimize mailing problems during
1 the Christmas rush.
; (1. Plan to use insurance on
- all parcels. (Neither insurance fees
I nor parcel post rates were affected
by recent postal rate changes, in
cidentally.)
Lost parcels are auctioned, yield
ing about a quarter million dollars
annually, from approximately half
a million parcels, for the U. S.
T reasury.
However, this is one of the less
welcome sources of revenue. Post
al employees know that, in addition
to the expenses and delays involved,
lost parcels usually mean disap
pointment for someone at Christ
mas time, frequently children.
Postal employees cannot part
icipate in the bidding. They do,
- however, act as auctioneers, and
take pride in attempting to get as
much of the true value of the ar
ticle as possible.
Often, mailers will spend many
dollars on the gift, but will wrap it
in scrap newspaper, torn up bags,
and so forth.
Experience of the Postal Service
has shown that this is poor econ
omy, and invites loss. A good rule
is to use only materials of good
quality—heavy twine and strong,
new paper, for example—and use
an adequate amount of them to do
the packaging job properly.
Also, it’s a good ndea to write
both address and return address
inside the parcel, on the box con
taining the gift, or on an inside
wrapper. A personal card or a
piece of stationary containing the
mailer’s name and address also can
^ be included in the parcel to insure
- return, if it cannot be delivered.

Ford’s tasteful styling theme in 1959 is a result of consumer demand for more e pK

"lisa", though, started out in a
fury after “Helene” but changed
her mind and veered out to sea
instead of hitting the mainland
But the squadron took no chances
and followed her until she no
