Mail Gifts by December 1
This is a bit of belated advice but there still
is time to act if that action is prompt. The post
office department is urging that all Christmas
gifts going by mail be sent by December 1. That
does not mean that you should delay sending
them until that particular date. Rather it is the
deadline for receiving your parcels at the send
ing postoffice with any notion of them reaching
their destination by December 25. Shortages of
manpower, unprecedented volumieg of Christ
mas mailing, wartime demands upon transporta
tion facilities will prevent handling and delivery
of lifts in time for Christmas unless gifts are
mailed by the deadline of December 1, postal
officials declare.
Over 40,000 postal employes have entered the
armed services, creating a serious shortage, in
trained personnel. Facilities simply are not avail
able to transport and deliver, in the last three
weeks before Christmas, the tremendous quan
tities of mail that in peace times have been
moved in that period. .
If further proof is needed that you should
mail early, read these figures presented in a re
port of the Post Office uailway Mail Service for
the Western division, showing increases in Pa
cific coast Christinas holiday bulk mails: 1941,
1,566,433 bags; 1942 1, 976,117 bags; 1943, over
2,272,533 bags, and 1944, an estimated 2,827,000
bags. From these figures it would appear that if
one wishes to say "Merry, Christmas" with a
gift it will be necessary to mail it now not Dec.
