The calendar says Christmas is only a month away, but in the Dillon Post O ffice it w ill be Christmas every day from now on.” ' The postm aster went on to say that by getting into action now, a lo t o f headaches can be avoided when the full Christmas rush be gins. For example, don’t take any chances on mailing poorly wrapped packages. Use sturdy corrugated m ailing cartons, heavy paper, ad hesive tape and strong cord. Car tons containing several g ift pack ages should be fully stuffed with tissue or old newspapers to cush ion the contents. Check With P.O.— I f you have articles o f unusual size or-bulk;, better check w ith the Post O ffice before attem p ting to m ail them — the lim its on size and weight o f packages vary, de pending on where you^mail them from . A s an extra precaution, it's always a good idea to place an extra label carrying both your re turn address and the recipient’s address inside the carton or pack age. Mailing Christmas Cards— Andrus also suggests, “ B e sure to send your Christmas cards by first class mall. When sent first class, your cards are delivered quicker, and they'll be forwarded or returned, if it becom es neces sary. Also, they m ay carry w rit ten messages along with your s ig nature.” The postm aster says It’s especi ally Important t o include your re turn address on every Christmas card envelope. Besides, being soci ally. correct, this is a b ig help to both you and y o u r friends In keep ing y o u r m ailing lists up-to-date. Through the fine cooperation o f Harry Andrus the public during recent years, An drus reports that great progress has been made in getting the Christmas mails through on time. He is making many advance prep arations to handle the 1962 Christ mas mail rush, with extra mail clerks, carriers, and expanded fa cilities all1 around. Mall Early, Often— “ Mall Early and O ften!” is the postm asters’ special slogan fo r this year’s \M ail Early for Christ mas” campaign. It looks like a record year for Christmas mall and that’s why the Postmaster w ill especially appreciate your help in getting started now on your Christmas mailings. , Christmas cards and gifts for m ost distant points should be mailed first, preferably w ell before December 10th. Those fo r nearby points should be m ailed by De cem ber 15th, or a t least a week before Christmas.
