Show Mailing Deadlines Are Slipping Past, Postmaster Says Patrons of the local post office of-fice are reminded that many mailing deadlines have passed and many are approaching. Postmaster Robert Comaby said that parcels going to local or nearby areas should be mailed mail-ed by Dec. 13. Greeting cards going to distant dis-tant slates should be mailed not later than Dec. 12. Cards going to local and nearby areas ar-eas should be mailed by Dec. 15, at the latest. Postmaster Cornaby also emphasized em-phasized the importance of using us-ing ZIP Code and adding a return re-turn address to all Christmas mail. It only takes a couple of extra seconds, but pays big dividends. Patrons are requested to have a house number and a suitable receptacle. Regulations require that paths and aproach-es aproach-es to rural mail boxes be kept clear. Mail deposited in rural boxes must have postage stamp already affixed. "Don't take a chance on disappointing dis-appointing someone you love," the postmaster said. Send your gift parcels and cards early enough to insure their delivery before Christmas, not after, he added. |
