Christmas mailing for both army and navy overseas forces will be from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, Postmaster L. L. Wimberlv reports, and atter uct. id no gift parcel may be mailed to a soldier without the presentation of a written request from him. "The great demands upon ship ping and the need for giving pref erence to arms, munitions, meui cine and food are the prime rea sons for the earlv mailing date." a bulletin from the post office de partment states. "Moreover, gift parcels must travel great distanc es,and frequently the transfer of large numbers of personnel to i new stations necessitates for warding packages, thus taking additional time." More care should be taken In wrapping and packing parcels se curely and addressing them clear ly and correctly, the postmaster states. Many packages are lost because they are not prepared for the rough handling that comes with long shipmenls. Strong Containers Needed "It Is to be on? ever me of a shoo box limit for packages intended for gift mailings overseas," Wimber ly said. "Unhappily, many people became convinced that a shoe box is the best possible container. The reference, however, was to size only. If gifts arc to be protected In transit they must be packed In boxes of metal, wood, solid fi berbonrd, or strong double-faced corrugated floorboard, reinforced with strong gummed paper tape or tied with strong twine. The loss of contents may be prevent ed if fiberboard boxes are wrap ped in heavy paper. "Many parcels were not deliv ered to men and women overseas last year because they were crushed in transit and the gift and outside wrapper became sep arated. It Is advised that every one write the address of the send er and the addresssee inside the package as well as outside "Because strong twine, heavy paper, boxes and fiberboard will prove of real help In making de liveries possible, it is urged that those at home begin saving ma terials now. as they will get scarcer as time goes on, "the post master said. Important Rules Given Among the more important rules for Christmas mailings to the armed forces overseas are the following: The parcel must not exceed five pounds, and must not be more than 15 inches in length or 36 Inches in length and girth com bined. It should be marked "Christmas parcel" so that it may be given special attention to as sure its arrival before December 25. Not more than one parcel may be mailed In any one week to the same member of the armed forc es by or In behalf of the same mailer. When combination packages are made un of such items as mis. ccllaneous toilet articles, hard candies, soaps, etc., the contents should lv tightly packed so that they will not become loosened in Iransit and damage the contents tne cover.
