THE NEWS -RECORD
September 16, 1904
Mr. Fletcher McCartney of the
Maitland concession, Goderich Town-
ship, died at his home at seven
o'clock, Saturday evening :from in-
juries inflicted in a fire at noon.
Mr, McCartney was onel of the
best known threshers in the town-
ship. He had recently purchased a
new outfit, consisting of 'traction
engine and separator with rear eut
attachment and . blower. His helper/
were Arthur Wilson and -William
Eason.
With this staff he was threshing
for M. Alex Babour, on the Mait-
land concession,when the accident
occurred, A . few minutes before, . 12
o'clock, one of ,the stacks was ob-
served to be on fire.
Mr. McCartney wished to save his
machine. He did but lost bis life in
the attempt. He was the son of Mr.
John McCartney of Holmesvilie ,.
Mr. Thos. Lindsay of the Base
Line had a narrw escape from' being
gored to death by a bull on Satur-

15 SEPT. -- 26 OCT.
"Do • not open until Christmas".
That exciting phrase should be snak-
ing its appearance on parcel mail
despite the fact that many places in
Canadaare just recovering from
the hottest spell en 'record. Postmas-
ter General; William P. Mulock ad-
vises that it is time to make plans
for Christmas parcels to members
of the Armed Forces Overseas. The
Christmas mailing period this year is
September 15 - October' 25
Naturally parcels sent to those
serving in the more remote theatres
of war should .be sent the earliest.
Suggested "deadline" mailing date's
are:-
September 15—The far East, India,
Burma, Ceylon, etc.
October 5—The Middle East area—
Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Syria, etc.
October 10—Central Mediterranean
Forces.
October 25— The: United Kingdom
and France.
In view of the rapid progress of
the war these dates might be subjelct
to change.
Last Christmas season (Oct. Nov.
Dec.) over 12,000,000 lbs. of parcel
mail alone were despatched to the.
Forctis Overseas from Canada. This
year an even greater volume is ex-
pected. Therefore, EARLY MAILING
IS NECESSARY to enable Postal
officials to cope with the handling,
and to carry out arrangements for
transportation on trains and; ships.
Remember that eerie space is still.
at a premium. Bear in mind this
year that the mail must travel grea-
ter distances—many of our troops
are further afield—on defferint
fronts fighting under the conditions
of mobile warfare --plenty of time
must be allowed between, mailing
and delivering. Picture the chaos if
everyone should wait till the last
minute to nail—Postal authorities
would be faced `with the impossible
task of , providing sufficient space
aboard' the lase ship leaving in time
to ensure 'Christmas delivery. The
result would mean a cheerless
Christmas Day forthousands over-
seas looking forward eagerly to get-
ting their Christmas gifts in time.
4 suggestion to further, help our
boys and. girls on Active Selt'vice re-
ceive their gifts, from home . is to
voluntarily etut down, as 'far ss pos-
sible, on the size of the package,.
even though the maximum weight
at the special rate! of 12 cents per
pound is 11 lbs. This will enable
authorities to ship a greater number
of parcels in the cargo space avail-'
able.
The bittter disappointiient caused
by late arrival of Christin'ts gifts
can be spared our FightingsServices
too if citizens will give the most
careful attention to correct adore-ss-
ing and' proper packing. Last Christ-
mas season thousands of parcels
were relsived at the Base Post Of-
fice in a damaged condition, They
hadto be set aside for repair or re-
addressing in order that they might
be safely sent on to its destination.
This caused delay and. extra work
for the Postal Corps. The longer the
distance a parcel must travel under
wartime conditions to reach its des-
tination at a battle front, the more
imperative is careful packing.
Each parcel should be carefully
packed in corrugated shock proof
containers, .the contents compact so
that thelw will not shake loose and
break out of the package. Then the
parcels should be wrapped in sever-
al layers of wrapping paper, and se-
curely .tied' with strong twine.
On no account should "Shoe
Boxes" be used as, containers -they
easily crush and; break.
Avoid using fancy colored Christ.
, mas paper as 'an outside wrapper.
or coloured ribbon to tie.
Foradded security parcels may be
sewn instrong cotton: "or similar
fabric.
Any substance likely to leak,
spread and damage the mails, if
sent at all, must be enclosed in seal-
ed metal containers with lids secur-
ely soldered' on—then surrounded
with absonberit matetrial in corru-
gated cardboard and 'securely wrap-
ped and tied.
Fresh fruits grapes, pears, etc.,.
or other items likely to spoil are not
acceptable.
Do Not Mail Jars or Bottles.
-The availing of matches, safety
matches, lighter fluid or any other
inflammable substance is prohibited
by law.
1 A completed Custom Declaration
should be attached to each paired.
All mail should be. fully and clear-
ly addressed in ink, without mis-
leading abbreviations. Place it return
address; on the cover of each .parcel
and also a slip among the contents
giving the name and address of the
sender and the complete Armed
Forces address that appears on the,
parcel. Prepay all snail , correctly.
