DeSouza asserted. "We want to de
liver all Christmas mall on time and
In good condition and so we are
calling upon the public to co-operate
with us."
The heavy volume of Christmas
mall makes It necessary to handle
pnckages quickly with no special con
sideration to any parcel and so all
gifts should "be wrapped sturdily and.
tied securely, the postmaster said.
He advised the use of special delivery
where the shortness of time made
the Immediate dispatch of mall to
destinations desirable.
