Dates given for Christmas mail Officer In Charge, James W. Counts, today urged residents of Newberry “to try remember” that recommended mailing dates for civilian domestic Christmas mails start the first of Decem ber. The national Christmas “mail early” theme this year, he ex plained, is based on the fami liar musical tune “Try to Re member” - and is featured in public service radio and TV announcements. “The idea,” he said, “is to have our custom ers remember recommended mailing dates. This will insure fast and efficient delivery of parcels and cards and prevent disappointments for friends and family members. Of course, it will also be a big help to your post office.” Key suggested latest dates by which Christmas mail should be deposited are as follows, but the postmaster urged customers to mail earlier wherever pos sible: Domestic Mails (except Alas ka and Hawaii); Distant States, Parcels Dec. 1; Greeting Cards Dec. 10. Local & Nearby Areas Alaska and Hawaii, Parcels Dec. 11; Greeting Cards Dec. 15. Surface Mail, Parcels Nov. 30; Greeting Cards Dec. 4. Airmail Mail, Parcels Dec. 14; Greeting Cards Dec. 14. In addition, Officer In Charge Counts noted several key dates applying for civilian interna tional mail, as follows: To Canada and Mexico - Surface Parcels, Dec. 4; Greet ing Cards, Dec. 9; and Air Par cels, Dec. 16. To South and Central Ameri ca - Parcels and Greeting Cards should be sent by Airmail not later than Dec. 14 in order to arrive by Christmas. These same dates apply for various types of mail for Eu rope. Dates for international mails tb other parts of the world are usually posted in post office lobbies, but, in case of ques tions, consult the local post of fice.
