Medford Man Gets Award From Post OfficeDeparfment " Norman Jahn, clerk at the Medford post office, who lives on the Foothills rd., recently was awarded a certificate and cash award for a suggestion that Jahn put into operation to speed parcel post distri bution at the Medford office. Jahn's suggestion is espe cially useful to speed distri bution of parcel post during rush periods, such as the Christmas season, when tem porary employees - are work ing. It consists chiefly of a "sack scheme," lettered along "the side of the parcel post conveyor belt, making it easier for the clerks to locate, and learn, the sack numbers into-which certain addresses go. There are 74 different sack numbers, besides the large tubs for business parcel post. Signed by Summerfield The certificate is signed by Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield, and by Samuel G. Schwartz, regional direc tor. The letter accompanying the certificate says, in part: "It gives us great pleasure to award to you a check and a certificate of award in rec ognition of your , efforts to improve postal operations. Thank you for submitting this suggestion. We hope that you will continue to submit ideas which will result in improv ing our way of doing things." During the last six months of 1957, employees of the Medford post office submitted 10 suggestions, and two awards were received, which was the highest number for any post office in the Port land district except Portland. Medford's participation rate of 15.6 per cent was the high est in the district. In the re gion, only Portland, Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane have submitted more suggestions, or received more awards, than Medford.
