Important changes in postal rules pertaining to the mailing of small parcels to certain foreign lands have been outlined in bulletins received by postmasters from the post office deâ€" partment. The ruling it is believed will prove of much advantage to many patrons of the local postoffice, By an agreement .of certain counâ€" tries operating under the postal union after July.1, small. parcels will be acâ€" cepted for mailingâ€"at a rate of 8 cents for two ounces but with a. minimum charge of ten cents. Formerly the charge for such mailing were at a minimum of 14 cents. Parcels will be accepted up to 8 ounces under this ruling. f The ruling applies only to certain countries, these including Algeria, Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Czechoslovakia, â€" Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Hunâ€" gary, Luxemburg, Martinique, Mexiâ€" co, Netherlands, Roumania, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, and Turkey, and several others. Several countries have not entered the agreement, these inâ€" cluded Canada, China, Egypt, Peru, Portugal, and several others; in these the old rate still maintains.
