Overseas Mailings
For Christmas
One NOW Says P.M.
Despite some reluctance to ad
mit it. the time hats come to begin
mailing of surface Christmas pack
ages and cards to armed forces
overseas, and to civilians in for
eign countries. Postmaster William
Lamme announced today.
In the South 48 the period from
Nov. 1 to Nov. 20 has been designat
ed as the time for military and civi
lian Christmas mailings and a week
or ten days should be added to this
for Alaska, the postmaster pointed
out.
Packages will not be accepted
for foreign mailings unless in boxes
of wood, metal, solid fiberboard, or
strong double - faced corrugated
fiberboard. Fiberboard packages
should be wrapped in heavy
mailing paper with strong cord, and
wellfilled or packed with cushion
ing material to prevent crushing.
All foreign countries and some
APO and FPO addresses have cer
tain restrictions on weight, size
and type of contents, so mailers
should check with the post office to
be sure their packages are mail
able.
Airmail packages and cards for
overseas should be mailed prior to
Dec. 3. Packages may be marked
“Do not open until Christmas.’’
