Christmas Buying
For Overseas Folk
Should Start Soon
"Save strong string and box
material and start to plan shop
ping," Postmaster General
S'rank C. Walker advises Ameri
cans in announcing the rules for
mailing of Christmas gifts for
army and navy personnel over
seas. Walker's statement was re
ceived this week by Midland
empire postmasters.
This year the Christmas mail
ing period for both army and
navy overseas forces is the
same September 15 to October
15. After October 15, no gift
parcel may be mailed to a sol
dier without the presentation of
a written request from him.
The great demands upon ship
ping and the need for giving
preference to arms, munitions,
medicine and food is the prime
.reason for the early mailing
date. Moreover, gift parcels
must travel great distances to
reach army and navy personnel
who are located at-remote points,
and frequently the transfer of
large numbers to new stations
necessitates forwarding of the
packages and additional time is
required.
"The response that our people
made last year during the over
seas mailing period demonstrat
ed that they will cooperate in
any measure designed for the
welfare of our armed forces per
sonnel," Walker said. "It is not
easy to concentrate on Christmas
gifts in the midst of warm wea
ther here at home but our people
recognized the need, , and be
cause they want the men and
women who are absent from
their homes to know that they
are not forgotten at Christmas,
they took pains to assure prompt
delivery of Christmas gifts.
"I know that our people will
observe the overseas mailing
schedule once more this year
but I do wish to stress this fact:
More care must be taken in
wrapping and packing parcels
securely and addressing them
clearly and correctly.
"It is not a pleasant thing to
visit a postal concentration cen
ter and see the numbers of
Christmas parcels which will
never reach servicemen and
servicewomen. Postofflce per
sonnel have orders to do every
thing they can to effect delivery
of such gifts, because we know
how important they are for the
happiness of the armed forces.
Too frequently, nothing can be
done.
"I am sorry that anyone ever
mentioned that the size of a shoe
box is the approximate limit for
packages intended for gift mail
ings overseas. . Unhappily many
people became convinced that a
shoe box is the best possible
container. We must be mindful
thitt these gifts must travel far,
with shipping space crowded. If
the gifts are Mo be protected in
transit they must be packed in
boxes made of metal, wood, solid
fiberboard, or strong double
faced corrugated fiberboard, re
inforced with strong gummed
paper tape or tied with strong
twine. If both tape and strong
twine are used, so much the bet
ter. If the outer wrapper is
crushed and this is likely to
happen the loss of contents
may be prevented if fiberboard
boxes are wrapped in heavy paper.
we were unaoie xo deliver
many parcels which families
and friends sent to men and
women overseas last year be
cause they were crushed in tran-
sit and the gift and the outside
wrapper became separated. We
would have been able to make
delivery if the address had been
shown on the inside wrapper.
We advise that everyone write
the address of the sender and
addressee inside the package, as
well as outside.
"Christmas gifts mean much
to our people overseas. Because
strong twine, heavy paper and
boxes and fiberboard will prove
of real help-in making delivery
ot guts possible, l urge those at
nome to oegin saving tnese ma
terials now. As time eoes on.
they are going to become even
more scarce than they are now."
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 combined. It should be
marked "Christmas parcel" so
that it may be given special

attention to assure its arrival
before December 25.
Not more than one parcel
may be mailed in any one
week to the same member of
the armed forces by or in be
half of the same mailer.
When combination packages
are made up of such items as
miscellaneous toilet articles,
hard candies, soaps, etc., the
contents should be tightly
Cacked so that they will not
ecome loosened in transit
and damage the contents or
the cover. Hard candies, nuts,
caramels (including those cov
ered with chocolate), cookies,
fruit cake, and chocolate bars
individually wrapped in wax
ed paper should be enclosed
in inner boxes of wood, metal,
or cardboard.
Perishable goods, such as
fruits and vegetables that may
spoil, are prohibited. Intoxi
cants, inflammable materials
such as matches or lighter
fluids, poisons, and anything
that may damage other mail
also are prohibited. Gifts en
closed in glass should be sub
stantially packed to avoid
breakage. Sharp instruments,
such as razors and knives,
must have their edges and
points protected so that they
cannot cut through the cover
' ings and injure postal person
nel or damage other packages.
Relatives and friends who
know that the personnel in the
armed services to whom they
plan to send gifts are at far dis
tant points should begin to mail
their packages on the opening
day September 15 of the
mailing period. Last year late
mailings, causing concentration
of great numbers of packages in
the final days of the mailing
period, threatened to defeat the
program. It is stressed that suc
cess can be assured, with the lim
ited personnel and facilities
available, only if the public
gives full cooperation through
prompt mailings of the overseas
gift parcels from the opening of
the mailing period.
Mexican Official
Approves Treatment
Given Laborers
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 16 (fP)
Treatment of Mexican nationals
by employers in the United
States was approved here today
by an official of that country.
Particularly in Oregon and
Washington, said Pedro Muro
Asunsolo, representing the Mexi
can foreign office, are employer-
employe relationships good. Pay
is higher than m other sections
where his countrymen are work
ing in harvest fields, and accom
modations provided by the war
food administration are better,
he" added.
Asunsolo yet has to inspect
camps in Idaho, Utah, Colorado
and Michigan.

After 25 Years
TACOMA, Aug. 16 m Say
ing he wanted to ease his con
science "and not die ashamed,"
a mart described by Police Capt.
Larry Amundsen as a 56-year-old
negro, deserter from the first
World war, surrendered himself
at police headquarters late yesterday.
"Ah'm jes' tired of roamin',"
uie man saia wnen ne wanted
apologetically into police head
quarters ana stood hat in hand
before the captain's desk. He
added that he had deserted from
Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., in 1919
and had lived since in constant
fear of arrest. He asked to be
locked up. Later he was trans
ferred to Fort Lewis for disposi
tion of his case.
Chessman Supported
By Demo Committee
PORTLAND, Aug. 16 m
Merle R. Chessman, republican
state senator from Clatsop
county, had the support of that
county's democratic central
committee today in a new dem
ocratic move to contest his
right to serve on the state high
way commission.
Fred Thiel, county chairman,
and Harold Haynes, state com
mitteeman, declared they were
"thoroughly out of sympathy",
with a plan of Henry E. Aiken,
state democratic chairman, to
force the issue of Senator
Chessman's dual role with the
state's attorney general.
A ruling by Attorney Gener
al Neuner against Chessman also
would "terminate the service
of that good democratic sena
tor, W. H. Strayer of Baker
county," they pointed . out.
Strayer is chairman of the
state's mineral industry and ee.
ology commission.
