the following precautions. Use sturdy corrugated mailing cartons, plenty of heavy brown wrapping paper, and strong cord for wrapping packages. Cartons containing several gift packages should be well stuffed with tissue or old newspapers to. cushion the contents. "Further,” he stated, “if you have articles of unusual size or bulk check with the Post Office before attempting to mail them for limits of size and weight of packages.” ‘‘Another precaution against loss.” Postmaster Bushong advised. “is to place an extra label with address for package and your return address. INSIDE the carton or package before it is wrapped.” For Christmas card mailing, be sure that proper postage is used. Cards sent by first class mail will go quicker and will be forwarded or returned if necessary. “All mail going long distances should be sent well before 10 December. Christmas packages for local delivery should be mailed by 15 December. Cards for nearby destinations should be sent at least a week before Christmas." Bushong continued.
