We have never scuttled for a

awful forms, nor have we tasted
[ the bitterness of digging our

We have never lived in a land

food is something to snarl over

We are the lucky one. We

Rules For Mailing Of
Xmas Gifts For Army
And Navy Personnel
“Save strong string and box ma
terial and start to plan shopping,”
Postmaster General Frank C.
Walker advises Americans in an
nouncing the rules for mailing of
Christmas gifts for Army and Navy
personnel overseas.
This year the Christmas mailing
period for both Army and Navy
overseas forces is the same—Sep
tember 15 to October 15. After
October 15 no gift parcel may be
mailed to a soldier without the pre
senation of a written request from
him.
The great demands upon ship
ping and the need for giving
preference to arms, munitions,
medicine and food is the prime
reason for the early mailing date.
Moreover, gift parcels must travel
great distances to reach Army and
Navy personnel who are located
at remote points, and frequently
the transfer of large numbers to
new stations necessitates forward-,
ing of the packages and additional
time is required.
The response that our people
made last year during the overseas
mailing period denujmstrated that
they will cooperate in any measure
designed for the welfare of our
armed forces personnel,” Mr.
Walker said. “It is not easy to con
centrate on Christmas gifts in the
midst of warm weather here at
home but our people recognized
the need, and because they want
the men and women who are ab
sent from their homes to know
that they are not forgotten at
Christmas they took pains to as
sure prompt delivery of Christmas
gifts.
“I know that our people will ob
serve the overseas mailing sched
ule once more this year but I do
wish to stress this fact: More care
must be taken in wrapping and
packing parcels securely and ad
dressing them clearly and correct
ly- ..
"It is not a pieasani mine m
visit a postal concentration center
and see the numbers of Christmas
parcels which will never reach
servicemen and servicewomen.
Post office personnel have orders
to do everything they can to ef
fect delivery of such gifts, be
cause we know how important they
are for the happiness of the armed
forces. Too frequently, nothing
can be done.
‘‘I am sorry that anyone ever
mentioned that the Size of a shoe
box is the approximately limit for
packages intended for gift mail
ings overseas. Unhappily many
people became convinced that a
shoe box is the best possible con
tainer. We must be mindful that
these gifts must travel far, with
shipping space crowded. If the
gifts are to be protected in transit
they must be packed in boxes
made of metal, wood, solid fiber
board, or strong double-faced cor
rageted fiberboard, reinforced with
strong gummed paper tape or tied
with strong twine. If both tape
and strong twine are used, so
much the better. If the outer
wrapper is crushed—and this is
likely to happen—the loss of con
tents may be prevented if fiber
board boxes are wrapped in heavy
paper.
“We were unable to deliver
many parcels which families and
friends sent to men and women
overseas last year because they
were crushed in transit and the
gift and the outside wrapper be
came separated. We would have
been able to make delivery if the
address had been shown on the
inside wrapper. We advise that
everyone write the address of the
sender and addressee inside the
package as well as outside.
“Christmas gifts mean much to
our people overseas. Because strong
twine( heavy paper and boxes and
fiberboard will prove of real help
in making delivery of gifts pos
sible I urge those at home to be
gin saving these materials now.
time goes on they are going to
become even more scare than they
are now.”
Rules for Mailing
Among the more important
rules for Christmas mailings to the
armed forces overseas are the fol
lowing:
The parcel must not exceed five
pounds, and must not be more than
15 inches in length or 36 inches in
length and girth combined. It
should be marked "Christmas par
cel" so that it may be given special
attention to assure its arrived be
fore December 25.
Not more than one parcel may
be mailed in any one week to the
same member of the armed forces
by or in behalf of the same mailer.
When combination packages are
made up of such items as miscel
laneous toilet articles, hard can
dies, soaps, etc., the contents should
be tightly packed so that they will
not become loosened in transit and
damage the contents or the cover.
Hard candies, nuts, caramels (in
cluding those covered with choco
late), cookies, fruit cake, and
chocolate bars individually wrap
ped in waxed paper should be en
colsed in inner boxes of wood,
metal, or cardboard.
Perishable goods, such as fruits
and vegetables that may spoil, are
prohibited. Intoxicants, inflam
mable materials such as matches
or liquid fluids, poisons, and any
thing that may damage other mail
also are prohibited. Gifts enclosed
in glass should be substantially
packed to avoid breakage. Sharp
instruments, such as razors and
knives, must have their edges and
points protected so that they can
not cut through the coverings and
injure postal personnel or damage
other packages.
Relatives and friends who know
that the personnel in the armed
services to whom they plan to
send gifts are at far distant points
should begin to mail their packages
on the opening day—September
15—of the mailing period. Last
year late mailings, causing concen
tration of great numbers of pack
ages in the final days of the mail
ing period, threatened to defeat
the program. It is stressed that
success can be assured, with the
limited personnel and facilities
available, only if the public gives
full cooperation through prompt
mailings of the overseas gift par
cels from the opening of the mail
ing period.

•'Did you hear that Tom h going to be
inducted into the Army next week, Judge?”
“Yes, Frank told me thi9 morning down
at the barber shop. Our town’s got a lot of
men in the service now, Jim. In fact, all
towns have. I was just reading in the paper
where there are more than 10,000,000 men
away from their homes in the armed forces.
And, from all reports, they’re doing a grand
job bringing victory closer every day.
“We folks at home have a mighty big
obligation to those 10,000,000 fighting men.
We’ve got to produce the food to keep them
well fed. We've got to keep them supplied
with the ammunition and equipment they,
need to finish their job. We’ve got to help
the Government pay for all these supplies
our men need by buying more and more
War Bonds. We’ll have another big chance
to do that by helping to put the next War
Loan drive over the top, Jim.
