MEDFORD
Will Become Effective
Zip stands for Zone Im
provement Plan, the project
of the United States post
office department, which will
go into effect July 1.
But it also signifies Just
what the dictionary definition
states "To move or act with
speed," Acting Postmaster Al
Hradlord, Chester suilman,
superintendent of mails, and
Boyce Kellogg, assistant sup
erintendent of mails, have ex
plained in announcing the
Medford post office's partici
pation in the new program.
After July 1, anyone living
in the Medford area will be
living in "975." That's the
Zip code number for the sec
tion to be served by the Med
ford post office.
Speed Mail Movement
Adoption of this code num
ber will speed up movement
of the mails in all parts of the
nation and the first thing for
local individuals to remember,
Bradford emphasized, is to put
the code number on return
addresses. Those living within
Medford will add an "01,"
those under Central Point de
livery an "02." Other zone
digits, as the latter numbers
are called, will be announced
in the near future.
The Zip code is designed to
speed delivery of out-of-town
mail, lessening the chances
for letters to go astray and
.eliminating the necessity of
reworking a great volume of
mail, the Medford staff re
lated. The new designation num
ber consists of five digits. The
first digit, or "9," stands for
the Pacific Coast. The second
number, in this case the "7,"
signifies Oregon; the third,
the "5," identifies the section
al 'center, the city of Medford,
and adjacent areas.
Placing Code Number
In addressing mail the Zip
Code number (complete)
should be placed on the same
line and one space after the
name of the state to which
the letter is being sent, Brad
ford said. For example:
Mr. John Doe
626 State St.
Medford, Oregon 97501
Or if writing to someone
under Central Point delivery:
Mr. John Doe
626 State st.
Central Point, Oregon 97502
Using the Zip code in re
turn addresses will speed de
livery throughout the nation,
Bradford advised, particularly
in dealing with firms or
agencies handling a large
volume of man.
"The company to which you
are writing can oftc presort
electronically all future mail
ings directly to you, by-pass-ing
a number of mail han
dlings," he explained.
Hatfield Apology

Fleming said Hatfield was
quoted as saying at the con
ference that the John Birch
Society is not a fascist or

dividuals equally dangerous."
Fleming said various mem
bers of the organization have
tried to find out from the
governor who these indi
viduals arc.
But he said Hatfield has
refused to disclose names.
Fleming said the governor
should either name the per
sons of whom he spoke at
Phoenix, Ariz, at the gover
nor's conference or apologize
to the society.
