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.
