Christmas Delivery Sure Only If People Comply day. are "Transportation faciliites burdened to the limit with war materials and personnel, and the Postal Service has set more than 3100U experienced employees into the army and navy," Mr. Walker iaid. "The only solution to the Christmas problem is: MAIL IN NOVEMBER. Mark your parcels DO NOT OPEN UNTIL CHRISTMAS.' This is the only way to avaid disappointment on Christmas Day not for many civilians but also for millions of members of the armed forces who are still in this country. It is also the only way to avoid the possibility of a Christmas emer- ency in, the transportation and If the public can postal services. cooperate by mailing their Christmas parcels DURING NOVEMBER we can handle a small volume of light, last minute mailings, such as cards, up to December 10 but we can do that and avoid an emer gency only if November is really CHRISTMAS MAILING MONTH." Postal officials pointed out that the volume of mail now is far above !ny previous records, that railway cars by the hundreds have been diverted to war sevice and that the ai lines have "only half as many planes as they once operated. More than two hundred thousand extra temporary employees normally are employed to help with the holiday postal rush. This year, the extra employees will be largely wome and high school boys and girls who are unable to work the Ions' hours usually required and whose work will be relatively slow. To deliver the Christmas mails on time, therefore It is necessary that mailings be spread out over a longer period so that the available transportation equipment and postal personnel can be used during more weeks. It will be utterly imto' make deliveries by possible Christmas if mailers wait until the last three weeks before the holiday, as in normal years. There is another reason for shopping and mailing earlier than ever before. Retail stores are short handed. Purchasers can avoid chopping in crowded stores, long waits for service, and other inconveniences of late shopplg if they buy now. They will also doubtless have a bette choice of mercandise than will be available later. Postmaster General Walker observed that his warning Is not an al'empt to tell the public what to do; it Is only an advance otifica-tio- n of what will happen if they nr. til late. He feels that the public s entitled to the facts, and that when they know them they will derided to MAIL IN NOVEMBER. .
