All Christmas mall should be sent In time to avoid a last-minute rush, all correspondence should be direct ed to a specific address Including street and number or rural route and box number and all parcels should be wrapnd securely In durable con tain ere, the postmaster counseled. There are several kinds of special mailing services designed to expedite handling and dolt very and these should be utilized whenever greater speed la desired, Mr. DcSouz said. Pos toff Ice clerks will give full In formation on the special services, he added. Public Still Remiss Despite the repeated advice of postal authorities yeai after year, many senders of Christmas packages still do not wrap their gifts securely In durable containers, Mr. DeSouza emphasized. Scarcely a year goes by without the arrival at postofflcca of flimsy parcels that have been turn In transit, the addresses lost, he as serted. To avoid loss of parcels, he urged everyone to wrap Christmas gifts with extreme care. . Every year, the postmaster con tinued, there is a substantial loss of Christmas greetings mailed In un sealed envelopes because of the re moval of addressees or other causes. Greetings sent In unsealed envelopes at third clsxa postage rate are not entitled to the free forwarding priv ilege, Mr. DeSouza pointed out. If the address Is not correct, therefore, ; the addressee never receives the I greeting, ha emphasised. Such unde Uverable mall Is destroyed, he ex plained. Aflrireas Needed Christmas correspondence not bear ing a specific address must be held for delivery after the holidays as the postofflce staff has no time to look up addresses around Christmas time, the postmaster said. "We do the best we can to deliver mall under all circumstances but If the parcel is broken and the address lost or If tho address Is not com plete there is nothing that we can do," the postmaster said. "We are therefore asking the cooperation of the public. If the public does Its pnrt, we will do ours." exposition will be attended by many from this country who will Join with the government In greeting with a warm welcome the many from abroad taking advantage of the occasion to visit our shores."

'I first saw the plane at 8:16 a. m.. Buckner said here today, while his vessel was discharging cargo. Plqne Swooped Close 'It roared out of a murky sky and came right over us so close that I thought It would crash Into our mast. Then it dropped a white flare. Five minutes later It came back over us, circling, and I saw the runn ing and cabin lights extinguished. I thought It would land at Drake's bay (an inlet near where the plane went down)." "I had heard a navy radio broad cast Just a few minutes before, but my undertsanding waa that a plane In trouble was already down. So I thought the plane we saw was a searching plane which waa in no trouble Itself. "This belief was strengthened by the fact that a plane in distress vou Id drop a red flare and would vagglc Its wings. The plane I saw dropped a white flare and gave no other signal Believed Landing "When I saw lights on the plane go out I figured It was making a safe landing at Drake's bay, and then I saw coast guard flares on shore and figured the .coast guard had the situation In hand." Buckner's story tallied with entries In the log of radio messages between ; tho Ill-fated plane and the Oakland I airport. At 5:18 a. m Just four minutes before the last mr.age was received I from the plane. Captain Charles Stead, Its pilot, told the airport he was "north or south of Point Reyes, ready to land. There are two lights. One looks like a ship and we are still over the water." The airport replied at 5:20, MWe are trying to contact the boat you saw and have them follow you. Appeal I'nheard But Buckner said the Lumbertown'e radio operator. R. w. Cox of Marsh field, waa tuned In to the coast guard station trying to learn more about the plane's difficulty, and did n't hear the airport's frantic appeal Capt. James Allen of Alameda, akipper of the ship, waa not on duty at that hour. Buckner aald. The ship, owned by the Coos Bay Lumber company, was en route lrom Oregon to Oakland at the time.
