They know that they was lucky to ve homes an' peo- ple there who minded ‘bout their comfort—'bout the things they ought to wear.

Postmaster Urges Public to Mail Packages Early New Britain Herald: Permit me to call the atention of the geneal public to the following sugges- tions concerning holiday mail, includ- ing parcel post. At this season of the vear, the regular mafis are very heavy, in addition to which the holiday mail must be handled. Maii early. Wrap securely, using heavy paper and strong twine. Ordinary store paperis not sufficient to protect parcels and all stamp clerks have been ordered to refuse all parcels which are not properly packed. Place the address of sender in the Upper left hand cor- ner or on the back of the package. Addresses should always be placed in the lower right hand corner, and should be more prominent than the return address. Parcels require a longer time be- tween offices, as all trains do not handle parcel post matter. Do no seal your parcels, or place Red Cross or Christmas seals over the ends of the parcels or over the laps of the paper. All stickers should be placed on the ‘back of the parcel, and Red Cross Seals are not good for postage on any mail matter. If the stamp clerk asks what the parcel contains tell him, as the postal regulations r~quire it. Write the address plainly, give the street and number (if known), as sub- stitute carriers are employved to de- liver the holiday mail, and they are not famillar with the street addresses. If you will mail your parcels on the dates given in the following schedule, they should be delivered by Christmas. They can be sent earlier and marked “Do not open until Christm: .
