Academic Talent Topic
Of Chamber Luncheon
Ashland - The Ashland
Chamber of Commerce was
told that Americans aren't
placing as much value on de
velopment of academic talent
as they should at Its meet
ing this week. , , . , ,'
Speaking at the chamber
luncheon in the Mark ' An
tony hotel, Harold Cloer, di
rector of guidance services of
student affairs at Southern
Oregon college, said that SO,
000 students who drop out of
high school could finish col
lege.! .: . . . .' ' t
Cloer also said that studies

show that 30 per cent of the
top ability students in high
school don't go on for any
advanced training.
He said that 8,000 doctor's
degrees are awarded each
year. However, studies show
that 30,000 people could be
receiving the degree each
year. ' 1 '
, "The problem is one of
motivation," Cloer said. He
called for more interest in
academic affairs on the local
level. Any solution to the
problem must come at a local
level, Cloer observed.
I He praised the Merit Schol
arship foundation, a national
scholarship orga n i z a t i o n.
Cloer said the Merit officials
had conducted a study which
showed that students favored
social recognition of their
ability more than monetary
recognition.

reached during fiocal year
1960. which continued the
steady upward trend of t h e
nast seven years at a rate ex
ceeding the population
growth, according to lnforma
tion from the ' annual report
of the post office department.
.Although subject to last
minute revisions, the year's
total volume of mail handled
by the post office department
is estimated at 63.6 billion
pieces, which Includes one bil
lion pieces of parcel post. This
is an increase of 25 per cent
over the corresponding fig
ures for 1953 when the total
volume was 50.9 billion
pieces.
During the same period, the
report shows, the -revenue of
the department also has shown
an increase from $2,001,714,
000 in fiscal 1053 to $3,276,
800,000 in fiscal 1960.
Medford Receipts
In Medford, receipts of the
post office climbed from $529,-
776 in 1953 to $770,636 last
year. At the present rate of
increase so far this year, re
ceipts this year will exceed
$800,000 at the Medford of
fice, and the volume of mail
handled is running 14 per cent
more than last year.
The Medford postmaster
pointed out that there isn't
much the department can do
about how much mail must be
handled , each day, or how
many people make use of the
postal service, but the depart
ment is constantly busy de
vising ways for handling the
mail more efficiently and eco
nomically. These are the objectives out
lined by President Eisenhow
er when he swore Postmaster
General Arthur Summerfleld
into office in 1953, he said.
"The human element still
plays a vital part in the han
dling of mail," the postmaster
said, "so we do make mis
takes, but statistics in the de
partment's annual report give
proof that we are making
progress on a nation-wide ba
sis. While the mail volume
showed an increase of 16 bil
lion pieces handled annually,
the employment increase dur
ing the seven - year period
amounted to only 11 per cent.
Numbir of Carriers
The number of carriers
employed by the post office
depart ment has increased
steadily, due to the ever ex
panding growth of established
cities, as well as the establish
ment of foot carrier service
in hundreds of growing towns
and cities throughout the. na
tion. '
"More than 800 cities have
been given carrier service
where carrier service did not
exist seven years ago, Central
Point being one This required
the equivalent of 31,000 addi
tional letter carriers to serve
approximately 9 million more
families. Total number of em
ployees in the post office de
partment has increased from
506,520 in 1953 to 562,868
June 30 this, year. The work
load during Vthis period has
increased 25 per cent," he
said.
Included among items cited
by the postmaster as recent
accomplishments by the de
partment were the following:
Established the first large
scale program of automatic
mail handling by machinery
on a nation-wide basis.
Developed the "airlift" pro
gram which speeds up the de
livery of approximately one
letter out of every 17 on a
"space available" basis.
Continued development of
faster machines for letter sort
ing, parcel post sorting, and
for mail culling, facing and
cancelling. '.
Continued with plans for a
new automatic postal substa
tion which will vend stamps,
envelopes, post cards, and
writing paper, and which will
have money changers for both
coins and bills.
