There are only 91 more shopping days until Christmas! Sounds like a long time, doesn't it? But the Christmas shopping season is al¬ most here, if you are one of those persons who wants to send a gift to someone in the armed forces overseas.
Postal   authorities   have   desig; nated the period between Septem¬ ber 15 and October 15 as the date when   packages   going   over-seas must be mailed.   The October  15 deadline will be strictly enforced this year  and  no  parcel  will be sent after that date unless a writ¬ ten request for the article is pre¬ sented at the time of mailing.
