BOOST "HAPPINESS PACKAGE" Announcement of a "happiness package" movement, launched this week as part of the national celebration of the silver jubilee of parcel post, was made today by Postmaster Ernest J. Kruetgen. "Make somebody happy with a happiness package" is the slogan adopted by the local postal authorities, and while it is desired to stimulate as large a mailing of "happiness packages" as possible for Thanksgiving, the idea which originated with a postmistress in a country town is to be pushed all during the holiday season until Christmas, Postmaster Kruetgen said. Chambers of Commerce and local merchants in all cities are co-operating in this new movement, Washington advices to Postmaster Kruetgen state.
