Christmas Mail
Hints Outlined
“With next week’s Alaska Steam
ship vessel the last direct ship to
Seattle before Christmas, it’s time
to start planning your Christmas
card and gift mailings”, Postmaster
William Lamme said today as he
launched the 1961 “Mail Early For
Christmas” campaign.
Looking ahead to what may be
the biggest Christmas season ever,
the Postmaster said further, “Here
are the things to watch to help in
getting every Christmas card and
package delivered before December
25.”
CHRISTMAS CARDS
Check your card and gifts lists
carefully. Re sure to use full names,
streets and numbers, city, zones
and state. Avoid abbreviations.
Unsealed cards with no messages
may be sent for 3 cents but is not
recommended for individuals as
they will not be forwarded or re
turned if undeliverable but will be
discarded. Four cent mail is rec
ommended, with airmail for those
who always put their mailings off
too long.
The post office will have a sup
ply of labels “All For Local De
livery and “All For Out of Town”
and it is most helpful to have cards
rubber-banded by states and cities
if more than ten each.
Please hand Christmas card mail
ings in at the service windows as
putting them in the mail drop only
mixes them up and requires extra
hours of facing by the clerks.
GIFT PACKAGES
Use heavy wrapping paper, ex
tra strong cartons, paper tape and
Scotch tape, but always tie also
with cord heavy enough to be used
in handling the package. It is wise
to put a slip of paper inside with
both return and sending address
on it in case labels become torn.
Christmas cards and letters may
be enclosed in packages with “Let
ter Enclosed” written on the pack
age and 4 cents will be charged for
it. Address and return on one side
only, address on lower right and
return in upper left only!
CHRISTMAS SEALS
Christmas Seal& and other stick
ers must not be placed on the front
of packages, letters or cards in any
circumstances.
STAMPS
Stock up on ipostage stamps early
to avoid standing in line.

Kodiak War Games
Thirteen members of the Kodiak
National Guard took part in the
King Crab II military maneuver
over the week-end and earned the
distinction of capturing the first
enemy soldier in the maneuver.
One mortar squad, one 106MM
rifle squad, and platoon headquar
ters section were attached to the
Marines from the Kodiak Naval
Base and took up positions for the
maneuver Friday morning.
First action in which the local
unit took part occurred Friday eve
ning when enemy forces attacked
a Naval Ground Forces defense
unit encamped next to the guards
men. In the action, PFC Neil Beres
toff met one of the agressors and
took him prisoner after a wrestling
match. Navy ground forces and
guardsmen later repulsed the at
tack.
The mortar squad, under S/Sgt.
Charles Pemberton, fired several
rounds of illuminating shells to as
sist the Marines in an attack on
Saturday evening before being re
lieved on Sunday morning.
Capt Arnold S. Bjerken, Guard
company commander, praised the
performance of his men in the ma
neuver. “These enthusiastic guards
men did a very good job of apply
ing knowledge in the field that
they have gained in armory train
ing. They performed as good as the
regular army troops participating
in the exercise.”
Besides Capt. Bjerken, Sgt. Pern
berton, and PFC Berestoff, othei
guardsmen participating were Sgts
