BOB'S Senior Girls To T ake Exams P lanning for Rush H elpful A little planning during the Thanks giving holiday can help avoid the “Christmas Rush” , Postmaster O. T. Bateman states. The Vernonia postmaster has some tips which will not only put ZIP into Christmas mailing, but help lo cal postal employees move the re cord-breaking mountain of mail that is expected this Christmas season. 1. Find last year’s Christmas mailing list. If you don’t find it, or didn’t have one, make one up. 2. Check to see that all addresses are correct. The phone book is usually a good source for local addresses on the list. 3. Whenever possible, add the ZIP code to the addresses on the list. Because ZIP Codes speed your mail, always include the code for your area in return addresses. This is the best way to inform friends, relatives and business associates of the code num ber for your area. 4. Determine your list of gift purchases which must be mailed. Such planning allows you to shop early when selections are great est and you can stock up on mailing materials in advance. Be sure to pur chase enough material so that par cels will be packed securely. The postmaster emphasized that poorly wrapped and loosely packea cartons are the major cause of par cel post damage. He also suggested that the address be written on only one side of the exterior wrapping and that a duplicate address be included inside the carton, in case the outer covering is not secure and comes off. Bateman said that the post office department in Washington is predict ing that a record seven billion pieces of mail will move through the postal system during the peak rush just be fore Christmas. “The cooperation of all mailers is vital for us to deliver each holiday card, letter a n d package before Christmas Day. A little planning will make the Christmas rush less hec tic for everyone,” he said.
