the rapid progress of the war these dates might possibly be subject to change last christmas season oct nov dec over 12 000 lbs of parcel mall alone were despatched to the forces overseas from canada this year an even greater volume is expected therefore early mailing is ne cb66ary to enable postal officials to wih the handling and to carry arrangements for transportation trains and ships remember that cargo space is still at a premium bear in mind this year that the mall must travel greater distances many of our tro are farther afield on different fronts fighting under the conditions of mobile warfare plenty of time must be allowed between mailing and de ttrefy picture the chaos if everyone atoould wait till the last minute to mall postal authorities would be faced with the impossible task

from home is to vol untarlly cut down as far as possible on the size of the package even chough the maximum weight at the special rate of 12 cents per pound is 11 lbs this will enable authorities to ship a greater number of parcels in the cargo space available the bitter disappointment caused by late arrival of christmas gifts can be spared our fighting services too if citizens will give the most careful at tention to correct addressing and proper packing last christmas sea son thousands ol parcels were received at the base post office in a damaged condition they had to be set aside for repair or readdressing in order that they might be safely sent on to destination this caused delay and extra work for the postal corps the longer the distance a parcel must tra vel under wartime conditions to reach its destination at a battle front the more imperative is careful packing each parcel should be carefully packed in corrugated ahockproof con lalners the contents compact so that they will not shake loose and break out of the package then the parcels should be wrapped in several layers of wrapping paper and securely tied with strong twine on no account should shoe boxes be used as containers they easily crush and break avoid using fancy colored christ mas paper as an outside wrapper or colored ribbon to tie for added security parcels may be sewn in strong cotton or similar fab tic any substance likely t0 leak spread and damage the matin if sent at all must be enclosed in sealed metal con tainers with lids securely soldered on then surrounded with absorbent material in corrugated cardboard and securely wrapped and tied fresh fruits grapes pears atct or other items likely to spoil are not ac ceptable do not mail otaass jars ob bottles the mailing of matches safety
