THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Blame Yourself If Your Holiday Mail Goes Astray Says the Postman

BY HELEN LINDSAY Don’t glare at the postman if your friends don’t receive your greeting cards or your “thankyou” cards for your Christmas gifts. It’s probably all your fault. It surely is if you are one of those people who mail your cards to persons in Indianapolis with a cent and a half postage. And if you didn’t take the trouble to look up the correct street address, but just wrote “N. Meridian-st,” or “Millersville-rd,” your package will be delayed. Os course the obliging postoffice employes will do everything they can to see that your mail is delivered, but this extra personal service, which is keeping many of the 700 extra holiday employes busy, takes time. If you have doubts about it, get Azro Cox, postal inspector, to take you on a personal tour of the postoffice. You will wonder how you ever get any of your mail on time, with such a volume of it on hand. Os course, Mr. Cox will encourage you by telling you that the mailing situation is much better this year than it ever has been. All incoming mail, he will tell you, is distributed to carriers, ready for delivery, on the day on which it arrives in Indianapolis. Part of the speed this year is due to the increased efficiency in wrapping Christmas packages. They come to the postoffice : : n much better condition than they once did, Mr. Cox says. “We used to /J> them wrapped in tissue paper, and tied with sewing thread,” he remembers. ’ But people are getting educated about this Christmas mailing business and they fix them up in pretty good shape now. “Os course we still have persons who come in with their gifts unwrapped, and expect us to wrap them here. You know, we formerly supplied wrapping paper and cord here. But this year, along with other government economies, the postoffice department has discontinued that. “It was a service which was abused by some people. One man used to come in and carry out an armload of wrapping paper, and yards of wrapping cord.” Twenty-five thousand Christ-

Miss Mary Riley, who has been painting in Mexico for three months, stopped off yesterday on her w r ay to her home in Washington to visit Miss Ethel M. Moore. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Cunning have come from Boston and their son. Harold Jr., has come from classes at Cornell University to spend the holidays in the city. Miss Elizabeth Ann Elder, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas A. Elder, is spending the holidays at Monticello College, Godfrey, 111., * with her parents. Mr. and Mrs. John Moriarty and 1 children. Patrick and Anne, are spending Christmas with relatives in Ripley, Tenn. Mr. and Mrs. Clyde E. Titus. 736 Middle-dr. Woodruff-Place, are to have as them holiday guests Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas J. Demerath, New York. Mrs. Demerath formerly was Miss Helen Louise Titus. Norman Essex Titus has returned from De Pauw University to spend the holidays with his parents. Miss Norma Jay has left for W'hite Sulphur Springs. W. Va.. where she is to be the holiday guest of L. H.. Higenbotham, United States naval i officer. Mrs. Harry Scott is expecting Mrs. George Trow, Toronto, Canada, for the holidays.

mas greeting cards never reached their destination through the Indianapolis postoffice last year, but found their way to the wastepaper containers. That was because they had insufficient postage on them, and were unsealed. This year there are not so many, but a large box on Mr. Cox’s desk rapidly is becoming filled. He wants to save them to check on how many were improperly stamped this year, in comparison to lasG “Os course, if they were sealed, we would give directory service on them. That is, we would write the person to whom they are addressed, telling him that postage is due, and when he forwarded that, would send the mail on.” One department of the postoffice is busy now, doing just that with packages and letters. Another is busy checking through the city directory, putting correct addresses on letters and packages. When every one else in this department has had a chance at getting mail to its proper destination, it is turned over to Harry S. Lane, who has been in this department more than 30 years. If you live in Indianapolis, Mr. Lane probably knows where. And if he i doesn't, no one else in the postoffice has much hopes of locating you. The general delivery department is 4 a busy place at this season. Transients who come to Indianapolis near- the holidays, and receive their mail at the general delivery windows, are 'not forgotten by their friends and families. Packages to help them get

The foreign mail, which has to go through the customs department, has increased in the last year, since a customs office was established here, Mr. Cox says. And your cousins in Berlin or London can’t fool you about how much they paid for your gift. For the value of it is stamped on the outside of the package. There’s foreign mail from almost every country, but there hasn’t been a single package so far from Ethiopia. Air mail service has speeded up the Christmas gifts across country, and patrons still are astonished to know- they can mail a package one night and have it arrive in a far-off state the next day. One woman, reading about the new clipper service, brought in a package which she wanted to mail to the Philippine Islands. I want to send it by. the new clipper service,” she said. “What will be the postage?” Advised that the cost was $1.50 an ounce, and that her package would take $76 postage, she changed her mind. She's going to send it as a Valentine.
