Mail Christmas Gifts Early Post Office Warns Students
"Mail your Christmas packages on or soon after 10th of December," Bert S. Chewning, superintendent of the University station of Lawrence Post Office, said Tuesday. "But I advise that sooner you mail, the more certain it will be delivered just before Christmas," he added.
Small but important station for students and faculty of KU, the University station will probably hire one extra man to assist carriers. Students have been hired in the past to do the job which begins around December 10th.
The Postal Service, for the first time this year, will take sealed parcels at the third-or fourth-class postage rates without labels, notations, endorsements, or hieroglyphics of any kind authorizing the opening of the parcels for postal inspection.
Use Strong Cord Packages sealed with modern sealing materials or even with just
plain Christmas seals should carry better in the mail than unsealed ones. Strong cord also should be used.
The Postmaster-General ordered on Nov. 23 that all mail service, including money-order service, with Hungary be suspended effective at once because of closing of the border. Money-order service with Egypt also is suspended because of the precarious situation there, although other service is maintained.
Must Mail Soon
"Foreign students who want to mali parcels home should have mailed them by now." Chewning said. "Those who want to mail things overseas had better get them in as quickly as they can. Of course if you want to send them airmail, your parcels will be delivered before Christmas, but if the parcels weigh very much, they cost an awful lot of money to go air mail," he said.
A letter from President Eisenhower to her father, Benjamin Franklin Goforth, Tulsa, Okla., was a big event for Mrs. Ralph S. Ring last week.
Earlier in the week she had received a letter from Mrs. Eisenhower, telling her that the President had written her father.
She Has Personal Reasons For Liking Ike And Mamie
Mrs. Ring, who works in the University extension library and whose husband Ralph, is an instructor of engineering drawing at the University, wrote Mrs. Eisenhower previously telling her about the voting record of her father and gradfather.
The President wrote the following to Mr. Goforth:
"From a letter by your daughter to Mrs. Eisenhower, I have just learned of your straight Republican voting record ever since you cast your first ballot for Benjamin Harrison in 1888.
"This record, I am also told, follows a similiar one on the part o. your father who started with Madison, never missed a presidential election and joined the Republican Party when it was organized, therefore voting the straight ticket of that Party until the election before you could cast your first vote."
