HOLIDAY ADVICE Postmaster Gives Valuable Hints to Villagers Concerning Christmas Mail "The Winnetka post office will make every effort to handle the Christmas | mails without congestion and delay, but owing to the enormous volume this | can be done only with the cooperation | of the public," Postmaster Braun an- | nounced this week. Compliance with | the following suggestions will greatly | aid the post office and insure prompt | handling of your mail, Mr. Braun states. early for delivery before | Mail | Christmas day, on which there will be no mail delivery. | All parcels must be securely wrapped |or packed.

This expedites the handling and the delivery. Place your address and the address of the person to whom you are send- ing the parcel inside of parcel. This insures delivery in case of the mutilat- ing of the address on cutside of parcel. Postage must be fully prepaid. Size of Parcels No parcel may be more than eighty- four inches in length and girth com- bined. For delivery locally and in the first, second and third zones, seventy pounds is the maximum weight; in all other zones fifty pounds. The use of the special delivery stamp will assure delivery on Christmas day, if mailed at the proper time. Special delivery service means the handling and transportation of parcels with the same expedition as first-class letter mail Special delivery is for speed and not for safety. Valuable mail should be registered or insured. Insurance fees: Value not exceed- ing $5, five cents; not exceeding $25, eight cents; not exceeding $50, ten cents: not exceeding $100, twenty-five cents. Coin, currency, jewelry and articles of similar value should be sent as sealed first-class registered mail. First-class mail may be registered up to a value of $1000. Shop and Mail Early Shop and mail early. During the holiday season the volume of mail increases approximately 200 percent. It is a physical impossibility to handle this great mass of mail matter efficient- ly and promptly within a few days. Therefore, to assure delivery of your Christmas presents, cards and letters, shop and mail early! This will be a great aid to your postal service and to postal employees and enable them to spend Christmas day with their families. Patrons sending a quantity of Christmas cards, say ten or more, should prepare and mail them two or three weeks in advance, as millions are mailed and they cannot possibly be handled and delivered if mailed only two or three days before Christmas. To avoid this, patrons may mail their cards two or three weeks before Christmas, if delivered at the post office in person. They will then be segregated, stamped with the date on which to be delivered, and delivery effected one or two days before Christmas. Omit Messages Do not seal parcels unless you wish them registered. Do not inclose messages in your parcels. This will subject them to the first class rate. It is permissible to inclose the inscriptions "Merry Christ- mas," "Happy New Year," etc. Parcels and envelopes may be indorsed "please do not open until Christmas." Christmas cards and gifts addressed to points within one day's travel should be mailed in no event later than December 20; within two days' travel, not later than December 18; within three days' travel, not later than December 16; for more distant points not later than December 14. Parcels and cards for local delivery should be mailed not later than December 21.
