But, they can’t perform the im possible. They can’t for example de liver our Christmas cards if they are addressed incorrectly, or incomplete ly, or if the handwriting can’t be de ciphered. Neither can the post office return the cards to us if we fail to put our return address on the enve lope. Or if, worse yet, we’ve not on ly incorrectly addressed the envelope, but used 1 l-2c stamps as well. For those 1 l-2c stamps make our Christ mas cards strictly third class matte.’. And since we haven’t paid for any imposed on unpaid taxes. You are requested to call for your taxes by School Districts in which the property is located. The Treas urer is not responsible for unpaid taxes not called for by districts. Those who had their dogs vac cinated for rabies during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1943, by one authorized by law, and expect to be exempted from dog tax will please bring their certificates of vaccina tion when are-earing to p^v taxes.

Even if your return address is on the envelope, the card mailed with 1 l-2c postage won’t be returned to you Each year, hundreds of dollars worth of undeliverable Christmas cards must be destroyed by post of fices throughout the country. In wartime especially this is a wanton waste. Improperly addressed and stamped Christmas cards also repre sent a tremendous loss in post off he man hours. And, cf course, this is to say noth ing of our friends who are deeply disappointed at not receiving our holiday greetings, not knowing we took a stab in the dark at their ad dresses, that we forgot to include the street number, or didn’t have the right street, or forgot to include the delivery zone number or other mis takes which relegated his card to the wastebasket. This year however, let’s all resolve to address our Christmas cards clear. Iv and carefully, to check the address before mailing, and to use a two cent stamp for local mail and three cents for out of town mail. Let’s resolve too, to get our Christmascards into the mails as early as possible so as to relieve the postoffice of that last minute rush. And ust to make doub ly sure that we know our friends re ceive our “Season’s Greetings” put our return address on the outside.
