Gail, superintend ent of mails for the Medford post office rpcently returned from Seattle, Wash., where he attended a public relations conference for post office rep resentatives from the 25 larg est offices in the Seattle re gion.

Mayer has been appointed re gional representative for the combustion engineering divi sion of Industrial Chemical company, Los Angeles. His district will be southern and central Oregon and northern California, Among the com pany's projects is lnduco, the petroleum fuel stabilizer and conditioner which promotes clean burning of fuels. Mayer lives at B 1 7 Broad St., Med ford. He is a member of the Medford Chamber of Com merce hnving lived here for the past live months. The name of the local firm is KTM Service. ' " I ' r """" ing postal employees and ma chines, it was explained at the conference. Through the cooperation of business executives and gov ernment officials, national and local mail is beginning to flow into the nation's post of fices on an around-the-clock basis, not chiefly in the late afternoon. Users of mail serv ice are urged to drop mail at the post office during less busy times of the day. Final program results have meant faster delivery of reg ular business mail, greater economy in postal operations due to more efficient use of manpower, equipment and space, and better working con ditions for postal employees Accelerated Program Recent introduction of the accelerated business collection delivery program into Boise and Portland post offices al lows mail dropped in desig nated boxes by 11 a.m. to be delivered no later than 3 p.m. the same day. This has been successful with little or no additional cost, conferees were told. A zone improvement pro gram is being introduced, al so, throughout the nation. Through the cooperation of the telephone company, a postal zone number is being listed in the telephone direct ory's yellow pages. These zone numbers will be used instead of the present name and ad dress system, it was noted. Once in operation, the pro gram is expected to greatly decrease the number of times a letter will be handled in the post office, thereby increasing the service efficiency and mail handling costs. Civil Servjce Jobs Reported Available Examinations are now ooen for civil service positions of therapist, press operator, and state veterans employment representative, according to the U. S. civil service com mission, Washington, D.C. Information concerning the positions may be obtained from the civil service repre sentative in the Medford post office.

"The big coral stones in our rock garden have made a real useable fireplace at the edge of our outside back patio. We are eating well. Last night the Air Police marie us a gift of several boxes of C rations. We are thankful for them al though we have plenty so far." "A hunk of our roof is gone over the kitchen stove which makes for a shower every time it rains. Gene nailed a piece of plywood over it a while ago, but it still comes in by the dishpanful. "Little Myron (10-days-old) had his first bath in water heated on the fire." In the letter to Mrs. Eagle ton, her son explains that his base in another part of the island escaped much of the damage, with the exchange and the enlisted men's club destroyed. He said that he was inside a building at work dur ing the typhoon. He noted that the base was housing and feeding service personnel and civilians from other areas, with the "chow hall feeding about as many civilians and dependents as we do military personnel."
