die East, and the islands in the
Pacific should be mailed as early
as possible during the period
stated, preferably not later than
October 1, in view of the distances
involved.
Ch-;srr.as parcels should be to
marked and requests from the sol
diers are not necessary in order
to send them.
Christmas cards should be
mailed by November 15, if they
are expected to be delivered prior
to Christmas.
Christmas parcels for Army per
sonnel shall not exceed 5 pounds
in weight of 15 inches in length
or 36 inches in length and girth
combined. The War Department
has po nted out that members of
the Army are amply provided
with food and clothing and the
public is urged not to include such
matter in gift parcels.
Parcels should b c sc cur g 1 y
packed in boxes of me‘al, wood,
solid fiberboard, testing at least
200 pounds. Each box should be
tied with strong cord, preferably
by four separate pieces, two
lengthwise and two crosswise,
knotted at the crossings. The pack
ing should be tight so as not to al
low the contents to rattle or the
box to be easily crushed.
Addresses must be legibly print
ed on the wrapper. Use of labels
is discouraged because they often
fall off the package if it is sub
jected to moisture, tl is highly de
sirable that slips of paper con
taining the names and addresses
of the sender and addressee and
a list of the contents be inclosed
in the parcel. This is requested so
that proper disposition of parcels
can be effected in the event the
addresses on the outside become
defaced in transportation, or the
boxes become broken and the con
tents scattered.
No more than one Christmas
parcel or package shall be accept
ed for mailing in any one week
when sent by, or on behalf of the

“BREVITY CODES”
AGAIN PERMITTED
TO ALASKA
The Alaska Department of the
S^a‘t!; Chamber of Commerce
was notified by the Alaska Com
munications Service that from
September 6 “Brevity Codes” will
be permitted to commercial or
ganizations and individuals com- j
municating with Alaska through
‘he Service. Prior to Pearl Harbor
many firms, in communicating
with correspondents in Alaska,
were permitted to use codes on
messages of a confidential nature,
and these codes were also used to
abbreviate communications, there
by resulting in savings to the com
mercial institutions doing busi
ness in Alaska.
The Alaska Communications
Service stated that it is very hap
py to restore this privilege to
Seattle and Alaska business men.
