Christmas Early
For Servicemen
Save strong string and box
material and start to plan shop
ping,” Postmaster General Frank
C. Walker advises Americans in
announcing the rules for mailing
of Christmas gifts for Army and
Navy personnel overseas.
This year tlie Christmas mail
ing period for both Army and
Navy overseas forces is the same
—September 15 to October 15.
After Oct 15 no gift parcel
may be mailed to a soldier with
out the presentation of a written
request from him
The great demands upon ship
ping and the need forgiving pref
erence to arms, munitions, medi
cine and food is the prime reason
for the early mailing date. More
over, gift parcels must travel
great distances to reach Army
and Navy personnel who are loc
ated at remote points, and fre
quently the transfer of laige
numbers to new stations necessi
tates forwarding of the packages
and additional time is required
“The response our people made
last jear during the overseas
mailing period demonstrated that
they will cooperate in any meas
ure designed for the welfare of
our armed forces personnel”, Mr.
Walker said. “It is not easy to
concentrate on Christmas gifts in
the midst of warm weather here
at home but our people recogniz
ed the need, and because they
want the men and women who
are absent from their homes to
know that they are not forgotten
at Christmas they took pains to
assure prompt delivery of Christ
mas gifts.”
More care should be taken in
wrapping and packing than last
year as many presents were dam
aged in transit. Last year late
mailings, causing concentration
of great numbers of packages in
the final days threatened to de
feat the early-mailing program.

It is stressed that success can be
assured only if the public gives
full cooperation through prompt
mailings of overseas gift parcels.
Rules follow:
Parcels must not exceed 5
pounds and not more than 15
inches in length or 36 inches in
length and girth combined. It
should be marked “Christmas
Parcel’’ Not more than 1 parcel
may be mailed in any ene week
to the same person by the same
mailer. Hard candies, nuts, cara
mels, cookies, fruit cake and
chocolate'bais should be wrap
ped in wax paper and epclosed in
inner boxes of wood, metal, or
cardboard
Perishable goods, such as fruits
and vegetables, that may spoil,
are prohibited, as are intoxicants,
Inflammable materials, poisons
and anything that may damage
other mail. Sharp instruments,
such as razors and knives, must
have their edges and points pro
tected so they cannot cut through
the package
