MAIL EARLY, TOO, TIMELY SLOGAN Postmaster Springsteen Offers Suggestions. WM! citizen* are taking heed of the “Do Toot Christmas Shopping 'Sarly” campaign it Is Just as important that they remember the “Do Your Christmas Mailing Early” slogan. Postmaster Robert E. Springsteen stated today. "If citizens will buy their presents early and mail them right now thoy ! will hare the satisfaction of knowing that they reached their destination before Christmas," the postmaster said. “While we expect to maintain our record of the past several years for handling the Christmas rush without appreciable delay, the Job would be made considerably easier If the public would take advantage of normal mall conditions while they still exist” The postmaster also warned patrons not to forget the postal regulation which prohibits the use of stickers and seals, other than lawful postage stamps, on the address side of mail matter. Put the stickers and 9eals on the sides or backs of packages and there will be no trouble, he said. To facilitate the Christmas deliveries, however, the Postoffice Department at Washington has ruled that the regulation, making matter with stickers and seals placed on the address side unmailable, be suspended during the present month.

Dully, with little Interest in anything this unfortunate day, could bring, I took down the receiver. y “Mrs. Harrison?” questioned! a luscious, oriental voice which 1 Imagined was Doris West's, “Just a minute, please. Mr. Harrison will speak to you.” "That you, Anne?” came Jim's vote* over the wire a minute later. “This is your night at the canteen. Isn’t It ?” “No—tomorrow.” I replied, gathering myself to meet something I sensed lurking in ambush. “That’s a shame. I’m mighty sorry, girlie—but I got the nights mixed, and now I’ve arranged a deal —part business, part social—and I can’t duck at the’ last xnlnute. I don't want you to be alone. Run over to Virginia's and I’ll call for you there as early as I can make it.” “Virginia won’t be home—she has an engagement with Sheldon,” I told Jim, poll-parrot fashion. “That’s too bad,” Jim said easily. “Why not take the kid out to dinner? Phoebe's been moping ever since Neal left; give the kid a nice party.”
