regards the despatch of air mails from
the United/ States and also in `the
reverse direction from Great Britain
to both Canada and the United Stat-
es.
In these circumstances, the Canad-
ian public should, he advised to use
the Airgraph service for messages to
civilian and members of the. Armed
Forces in - Great Britain and other
places to which this service ' is avail-
able.
A limited amount of space has been
reserved on aircraft for Armed For-
ces Air Letters • which will be accep-
ted and despatched' by air subject to
space being available.
The public are to be advised ,to
send their messages by Airgraph or
surface transport -but if despite this
advice the public 'insist on sending
them mail by air in its original form modelled on the English Carol Service
then the Department will give it the similar to the one held last year. It
