PARCELS FOR ,PRISONERS OF
WAR
Parcels pasted in Canada for Pri-
soners of ,War in 'Germany which have
not been adequately packed by the
senders will not be forwarded but will
be returned to the senders, as the
British Post Office has notified the
Department that parcels which are in -3
adequately packed must be returned
to the senders.
Ordinary thin .cardboard 'gazes, such
as shoeboxes, and thin wooden boxes
should not be used; nor does a sin-
gle. ,sheet of ordinary brown paper
afford sufficient protection. Even

it is important that the contents
be tightly ,packed so as not to shake
about during transmit. The following
forms of packing are recammended.-
(ll Strong double cardboard or
strawboard boxes,
Those ;made ,af corrugated card-
board and having lids which comple-
tely enclose the sides of the box are
the most suitable.
(2) Tin boxes such as are used for
packing biscuits.
(3) Strong wooden ,boxes.
4)• ,Several folds of stout packing
parer.
The British authorities advise that
parcels for Prisoners of War in Ger-
mane must not be wrapped in linen,
