Santa’d Better
Use Airmail Now
With the sailing this week of
the Tatalina for the States as the
1art outgoing vessel before Christ
mas, William Lamme, acting post
master, recommended today that
patrons wishing to have Christ
mas cards or gift parcels arrive
before Christmas should use air
mail.
Because of the congestion of
mail in larger centers, the post
office recommends that airmail
cards and air parcels should be
dispatched by Dec. 10 to be as
sured of pre-Christmas delivery.
Now that the ship has gone, sur
face packages and surface cards
will be routed from Kodiak to
Anchorage by plane, but will have
to go by train to Seward fo the
next boat from there to the States
and it is too -near Christmas now
to promise timely delivery, Mr.
Lamme added. “Air mail is the
best bet now,” he said, “and air
parcel post rates are the same as
