Urges Care in Mailing Parcels
WASHINGTON, March 26 (U. P.).—The navy said today; please be a little more careful in wrapping packages for fighting men’ overseas. It pointed out that a package addressed to a man in the Pa- | cific gets a long and rough trip, | or aha lasfing months, and pos- - ty ar a dozen ships. The navy made these suggestions: 1. Pack each article in shred‘ded paper or something like it to prevent movement inside the package. | 2. Tie the box with heavy cord. Wrap it in brown paper, tie it | again with a strong card and print the address in ink. Don’t use paper stickers which fall off if they get wet. +. 3. Inside each package put a . list of the contents and the full address of the intended recipient. This will insure delivery if the package should become broken. 4. Insure packages sent overseas.
