Mail Your Christmas Parcels Early
The Post Office Department urges early mailing of Christmas parcels letters and cards as wartime strains grow. It notes 25 000 experienced postal workers are serving war needs and warns that winter travel and limited manpower slow service. The NY post office alone handled 350 000 overseas gift parcels in late October and urges public cooperation to avoid a 1918-like jam.
