Stamp-Licking Abolished
Byron Diskin. Klamath Falls postal clerk with nine years of
service behind him, is shown here saving time with the new
postage meter, which prints a label with the exact amount of
postage for a package, plus city postmark and date of mailing.
Postage Meter
Used Here
Weary tongues will no longer
waggle from licking stamps in a
mailing rush at the Klamath
Falls post office. Recently added
to the equipment is an electric
postage meter, guaranteed to
save hours of time at the parcel
post window.
The machine is a neat, com
pact item with more interesting
points than a glamour girl.
After a parcel is weighed, the
amount of postage computed and
fee collected, the clerk touches
levers on the electrically-operated
meter.
Out pops a small printed la
bel, gummed and automatically
moistened, complete with post
age of exact total value, plus
city postmark and date of mail
ing. The label is slapped on the
package and the transaction is
over. Letters may be slipped
through the machine and receive
the stamp right on them.
Time spent waiting in line is
halved and unsanitary stamp
licking is abolished.

time impulse that prompted Wil
liam Lawrence Cimillo to take
a 44-passenger bus on a solo
odyssey of 1350 miles along the
Atlantic seaboard has left the
37-year-old New Yorker with
one major worry.
What will his wife and chil
dren think?
"I have a swell family, a wife
and three kids," the bus driver
from the Bronx, N. Y.. said yes
terday, "and I don't want to hurt
'em."
Mimillos journey began last
Friday when he left his regular
bus route in the Bronx on a
sudden impulse and headed
south. It ended in the jail of
this south Florida seaside resort.
"I just wanted to get some
where," Cimillo told reporters.
