WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2. VMU MEDFOKD MAIL TttlBCvii. MEDI OHU, OHEOON Dennis the Menace 92627 May Receive Answers by Dialing 202-783-3100-500 Editor's not: The follow liming is an "pen letter to a California ailitor who axked about thf! piDRrms nf the Post Office Department's ircw ZIP ci4c proRram. He said he did not believe many people were using it. Washington upd - Dear 92627: I'm! afraid we're being out numbered. I checked with 202(i0 (the Po3t Office Department) and tlicy claim they are getting more public cooperation than they had expected when they aligned everyone in the coun try a five - digit postal zone number back in July. As a matter of fact, they feel the response has been so favorable they are trying to speed up development of a ma chine which would sort ZIP coded mail without mortal aid. As tliey expected when they announced the ZIP code pro gram, most of the early en thusiasm for it is coming from the large - volume mailers such as insurance companies, maga zine publishers, mail order houses and big companies that do regular bluing. Firms Cooperate At the outset the department announced that It expected co operation from about 79 per cent of the 25,000" laiRT firms that account for about half of the nation's mail volume. More than 80 per cent of these firms that have been surveyed since the program started have reported Hint (hey are already using ZIP code or are convert ing their mailing lists so they can. As for letters to "Aunt Min nie" there is no official sur vey to indicate how many per sonal letters contain the ZIP code, either in the return ad dress or in (he mailing adress. One official at 202W) mnde a "guesstimate" of around 20 per ctnt for llib mailing addresses and a little higher than that on the return address. The department expects those percentages to climb after the Christmas mailings because most people update their cor respondence lists alter the an- mini influx of Christmas cards. And anyway it is the large mailers that the department is immediately concerned with. If the larger mailer has your num ber he can use his automatic equipment to pie-sort his mail ings and save the department a lot of work. Using your ZIP code num ber is essentially something the department wants you to do now so you will be in the habit of doing it when they complete development of a machine that will read these numbers and automatically sort the mail. Originally, development of this machine wis expected to take about five years. Now i Ihey think it may be in use be fire that. Pulillc Gels ZIP The real area where the de partment feels it is making progress beyond expectation is in public awareness of the ZIP code. The director of a new slage play recently agreed to slip a line about ZIP code into the di alogue and the line received one of the biggest laughs in the show. Mention of ZIP code in advertisements, cartoons, com ic strips and Jokes also indi cate to the department that the idea of ZIP code is catch ing on throughout the country, even among those who do not like it. If you have any further qurs-! tion, 92627, just dial 202-7H3-1 3100-500 and you can get all the answers. Cordially, ,, 22311 ! Supervised Play Activities End Willi Hie exception of swim ming al Jackson pool, the super vised activities of the summer recreation program of the Mcd- ford recreation department were brought to a close during Au gust, according to Park and Recreation Director Robert L. Haworth. In his monthly report released recently, llnworth pointed out ' that attendance al the summer playground activities this year was high, notably in baseball, tennis and track. Two baseball leagues held competition this summer, a class in baton twirling was held, golf instruction was offered, two softhall leagues were main tained, various swimming pro grams aod meets were held, and instruction was given in tennis, trampoline and tumbling. A total of 774 youngsters al lended four teen-age dances held during August at the Medlord High school tennis courts under the sponsorship of the Medford Junior Chamber of Commerce and the park and recreation de partment.
