Advent of Worldwide Parcel
Post Recalls Earlier Service
The advent of speedier nationwide-worldwide air parcel post
service September 1 brings back to minds of old-timers the intro
duction of similar surface operations 35 years ago. It was in 1913, ac
cording to Postmaster Al Gragg of Salem, that parcel post first made
its a p pea a ranee in the United States. ,
The service at that time was established primarily to aid farmers
and hamlets, located off the beaten
paths, in expediting their products
to market and, In turn, receiving
sorely needed goods from larger
cities. However, mail order houses
and other establishments were
quick to realize its value.
Transportation facilities in those
days were still slow and tedious.
wotor-driven. vehicles were few
and the roads which they travers
ed were frequently impassable.
Too, trains were giving off more
sparks and smoke than speed.
There were no commercial planes
in those dayseither, and only the
foolhardy visioned the rapid ap
proach oi this Air Age.
Then it took' days, to transport
parcel post packages across the
country. Some parcels were forced
to go by virtually every movable
conveyance before they reached
their destination particularly to
the more remote sectors.
From that modest beginning,
parcel post has grown to become
an integral cog in the far-flung
American postal operations. Its
annual poundage, keeping step
with the progress of transporta
tion, has soared from a few mil
lion to billions of pounds of assort
ed commodities.
Still determined to employ the
fastest means of transportation to
move the mails, the Post Office
r epartment will add the link nec
essary to give the United States
the world's most highly specializ
ed doorstep delivery service with
the launching of the new nation
wide-worldwide air parcel post.
said Postmaster Gragg.
Army May Use

Boat Shipment
SEATTLE, Sept. 6.-(;p-The
army hinted today it might use
soldiers to load supplies for its Al

CoL William H. Donaldson, com
mander, of the Seattle port of em
barkation, said the army hoped to
avoid such action but we have a
job to do and will not fail to
do it."
The striking CIO maritime un
ions have -agreed to work only
ships carrying war dead, incom
ing mail and passenger baggage.
Colonel Donaldson said the five-day-old
strike had slowed army
shipments.
He added then-unions would be
asked tomorrow to load army sup
plies. Union leaders could not be
reached for comment tonight but
the strikers' joint action commit
tee said Saturday the army would
have to do its own loading.
The colonel said only 20 percent
of the outbound supplies were
moved in army transports; the rest
in commercial ships. He added the
shipments might' be made from
eastern and gulf ports.
