approval.

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.
