Mailing Tips
Given By
Postmaster
In an effort to help holiday
shoppers with their “mailing
worries,” Postmaster Tom
Webb offers the following
helpful tips.
If a single item is being
mailed, it should be cushioned
with shredded paper, excel
sior, compressed tissue paper,
cloth, or expanded plastic
foam.
If two or more items are
mailed in the same carton or
box, cushioning material
should protect all items from
contact with each other, and
each item should have its own
individual wrapper.
Cardboard containers, in
cluding large soap, cereal
boxes, larger than the gift
being mailed should be cut
down to about the size of the
gift to minimize shaking and
breaking in transit.
Fragile articles must be
individually cushioned, and all
four sides of the container
should be padded with cushion
ing material.
Tape used to seal containers
should be durable type and
should cover or secure firmly
all flaps.
All packages that contain
delicate articles should be
marked - FRAGILE.
Paper for the outer wrapping
should be at least equal in
quality and strength to the
kraft stock used for grocery
bags. Incidentally, such bags,
in good condition, provide
excellent wrapping when trim
med to the proper size to fit the
package snuggly.
Wrapped packages also
should be secured with strong
twine, not ordinary light string.
Twine should be knotted at
several intersecting points to
keep it from loosening.
Each package should contain
the name and address of the
person to whom it is being
mailed inside the package as
well as outside. An address
contained inside is insurance
that it will be received
promptly even if accidentally
opened or if the outside address
should become obliterated.
Be sure to put your complete
return address on each
package.
And, finally, address the
package correctly and legibly.
Be sure to include the ZIP
CODE. Mail with the proper
ZIP CODE is processed more
rapidly than without the codes.

a collision with a car driven by

U. S. Badly Needs
A Dick Russell
Today-Talmadge
ATLANTA,—(GPS) “We
miss Dick Russell in the United
States Senate. In this most
difficult period in the history of
the American republic, we
need his wisdom, his guidance,
and the leadership he exerted
in the Senate through many
other dark times, including
three wars and a desperate
depression.”
Thus declared U. S. Sen.
Herman E. Talmadge speak
ing at the dedication of the
Richard B. Russell Building at
the Georgia War Veterans
Home in Milledgeville.
Sen Talmadge described the
late Sen. Russell as “a great
man in Washington and in the
halls of Congress,” saying “he
was welcome at the White
House, where his counsel was
sought time and time again. He
was renowned and respected in
capitals the world over.”
“Our country is rugged and
our people are strong,”
Talmadge continued. I am
confident of the future . . . But
I would have more assurance if
we had more men like Dick
Russell in the United States
Senate. Sen. Russell never
wavered his patriotism or
devotion to country. He was
opposed to United States’
intervention in foreign con
flicts where we had no
business. He fought United
States’ involvement in South
east Asia. But once we got in
there, he was a man of
principle. His philosophy was:
‘Where the American Flag is
committed, I am committed.’
“Because of the good work of
Sen. Russell as chairman of the
Armed Services Committee
and the Appropriations Com
mittee, veterans of Georgia
and throughout the nation are
receiving better health care
and increased retirement and
disability benefits. He was
always in the forefront of
efforts to improve the quality
of life for veterans.”
Turning to his own activities
in behalf of veterans, Tal
madge said:
“I am proud that as ranking
Democrat on the newly created
standing Committee on Vet
erans’ Affairs, I have been
privileged to pursue work in
this area, and secure the
enactment of important vet
erans’ legislation. . . I stand as
a staunch supporter of men
who put on the uniform of their
country. Such people have
proven their worth many times
over on battlefields all across
the world. Their heroic and
unselfish exploits are enshrin
ed in the annals of the United
States’ military history.
“I, of course, do not try to
extol the virtues of fighting or
armed conflict between na
tions. There are none. There is
nothing glorious or virtuous in
the loss of human life or the
waste of national resources on
a battlefield. But, make no
mistake about it --1 do come as
an advocate of a strong
national defense. To me,
national defense is a matter of
national survival. Generation
after generation of Americans
owe their Armed Forces a debt
beyond measure.
“On more than one occasion,
when the stakes have been
very high indeed, the lives,
liberty, and security of our
nation have been placed in
their hands. It can be said
without exaggeration that our
nation is free today because of
such men.”
