War conditions make it imperative that the above co-opera- tion be accorded and the local staff will be only too pleased to give any help they can in the despatch of such mailings. Please note, the latest ruling from the department is that no fresh fruit or vegetables may be sent overseas in these Christmas parcels. The delay sometimes encountered before deliv- ery, destroys not only the fruit but the other articles enclosed, as well as parcels in the same mall bag. Custom stickers for parcels overseas may be had for the asking at the Post Office, These are essential. It is noted that comparatively few maga- zines or papers go to our troops over. seas: a bundle of the Canadian home news might be most acceptable and the rate is very small. Under a recent notice, the busi- ness public is informed of a new C.O.D. fee. For parcels $2 and under in value, the C.O.D. charges have been reduced from 16c to 10c, operat- ive after Nov. 1Sth, The C.O.D. fee covers insurance in the caseof par- cels prepaid at parcel post rates against abstraction or damage, and also registration when prepaid at other rates.
