GIFT SELECTION IMPORTANT IN OVERSEAS MAIL PACKAGES Officials of the Postal Affairs Section of the Navy Department recently issued a statement regarding the importance of proper selection of gifts for overseas mailing to Navy personnel. In answer to the question which frequently arises—“ What Shall I Send?” the Navy Mail Service stated that extensive surveys have shown that Navy personnel overseas above all want letters —letters giving local news and telling of things done and things planned. Secondly, they want objects with a personal, sentimental appeal such as photographs, snapshots, drawings made by their youngsters, and newspaper clippings that can be enclosed in these letters. GIFTS TO SEND AND NOT TO SEND Such surveys have shown that they positively know what they don’t want. Foremost among the Don'ts are cakes, soft candies, cookies, cigarettes, and fancy toilet kits. Foods such as candies and cakes that may have been their favorites when they were home are a battered mass of crumbs or moldy chocolate when they arrive at their overseas destination. Following are lists of the Do and Don’t items to be remembered in the selection of overseas gifts: Do Mail for Men—pictures, canned luxury foods (olives, nuts, sardines, etc.), books, writing cases or portfolios, service watches, pipes, pens, engraved identification tags, waterproof wallets. Cigarette lighters. Do Mail for Women —pictures, books, play clothes, lingerie, stockings, gloves. Do Mail The Gift They Tell You They Want. Don’t Mail to Anyone Overseas at Any Time soft candy, cakes, cookies, fancy toilet kits, cigarettes. On ships and at shore stations there are stores which are well stocked with items such as soap, shaving creams, shaving kits, sewing kits,* hair tonic, shampoo, lotions, cigarettes, candy, chewinc gum. lipsticks, cosmetics, and other personal items that can lie easily and cheaply obtained when they are needed. The limited space in a locker for stowage of clothes and equipment does not permit many personal items being kept so don’t load them down with things they'll have to discard. The wisest thing to do is to ask them what they want. In the conduct of the war there is no recognition of the seasons of the year and as far as mailing packages to Navy. Marine and Coast Guard personnel, they may be mailed throughout the year. To assure a gift getting to its addressee, select wisely, wrap securely, and address correctly.
