! “SHOP NOW! MAIL IN
NOVEMBER” URGED
Public response to the postoffice
i department’s “Shop Now! Mail in
November” campaign is good, but
needs to be better, according to
Postmaster-General Frank C. Wal
ker.
“Extraordinary wartime condi
tions face us,” Mr. Walker said.
“Unless more people buy and mail
this month, the postal service can
not do its job of delivering all
Christmas gifts on time.
“It is not pleasing to us to have
to ask the American people to mail
packages so far in advance of the
delivery date. We do so only be
cause it has to be done. The job is
a tremendous one, but we are con
fident that it will be done because
we know from experience that,
given sound reasons, Americans co
operate magnificently.
“Unprecedented shortages of man
power and transportation facilities
growing out of the war compel
early mailing. The postal service
has given 50,000 experienced em
ployees to the Armed Forces and
300,000 railroad workers have gone
to war. Equally serious is the fact
that rail and other transport fa
cilities are taxed to the limit with
the great burden of war traffic
which all of us know must take
precedence.
“In a great number of our 43,000
postoffices the man power situa
tion is critical. Tire 200.000 extra
workers whom we normally recruit
ed to handle the swollen Christmas
volume of mail were able to work
long hours of overtime and to do
heavy work. This cannot be ex
pected from the women and high
school boys and girls to whom in
large part we must look this year
to meet the situation.
“The way in which every one re
i sponded in making it possible for
■ us to handle a volume of 70,000,000
: parcels for the Armed Forces over
seas leaves no doubt in my mind
| that the November Christmas mail
j ing will be equally successful. I
ask for the help of the press, radio,
i business advertisers, civic groups
; and all Americans in making it
' possible for the postal service to do
its work.
“We urge every one to buy now,
' mail in November and mark gifts,
I ‘Do Not Open Until Christmas.’ ”
