they plan to send gifts are at
far distant points should begin
to mail their packages on the
opening day—September 15—-
of the mailing period. Last

bers of packages in the final
days | of the mailing period,

limited personnel and facili-
ties available, only if the pub-

through prompt mailings of
the overseas gift parcels from
