BE CAREFUL OF RULES FOR
STAMPING YOUR GREETING
CARDS
Knowing that Christmas greetings
mean much to both the sender and
the recipient, our local postal em
ployes make every possible effort to
see that our Christmas cards are de
livered, and delivered on time.
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.

special handling or consideration, the
post office employee must put our
cards aside to be destroyed after the
holidays. 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.
