As a matter of fact, they feel the response has been so favor able they are trying to speed up! development of a machine which would sort ZIP-coded mail with out mortal aid. As they expected when they an nounced the ZIP code program, most of the early enthusiasm for it is coming from the large-volume mailers such as insurance companies, magazine publishers,; mail order houses and big com panies that do regular billing. Firms Cooperate At the outset the department announced that it expected co operation from about 79 per cent of the 25,000 large firms that ac count for about half of the na tion's mail volume. More than 80 per cent of these firms that have been surveyed since the program started have reported that they are already using ZIP code or are converting their mailing lists so they can. As for letters to "Aunt Minnie" there is no official survey to indicate how many personal let ters contain the ZIP code, either in the return address or in tiie mailing address. One otlicial at 20260 made a "guesstimate" of around 20 per cent for the 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 correspond ence lists after the annual 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 pre-soit his mail ings and save the. department a lot of work. Using your ZIP code number is essentially something the depart ment wants you to do now so you will be in the habit of doing it when they complete development ! 1- 3-14-21 23-42-48 STAR GAZEK!? yf MINUS APR 21 I MAY 21 0 2- e-37-41 OIMIM a?. ! 22 PVyJUN22 )36-39-52-69 f72-76-8i CANCII JUNE 23 JULY 23 MV 1-22-29-43 uo I JULY 24 L-AUG. 23 fl3-27-34.6M 4V74.78 84-OT VIIOO AUG. 24 SEPT. 22 1 15-18-20-44 49-64-65 Your Daily Activity GW M.

G. BRA.NDSTADT, AI D. Newspaper Enterprise Assn. If your baby weighs less than 5'a pounds at birth, regardless of the duration of pregnancy, he is considered to be premature. This is because such a baby requires special care if he is to survive. Babies that weigh less than 3Vi pounds can rarely be saved, and even if they are saved they have a poor chance of developing nor mally. For the babies whose birlh weight lies somewhere between these two figures the first month of life, and especially the first week, are extremely hazardous. None of the body systems in the premature are developed to the point where they can readily adjust to life outside the mother's body. This is especially true of the breathing system. , Because the reflex mechanism that makes us cough is weak in the premature infant, he may in hale mucus or milk and devel op pneumonia. Furthermore, his diaphragm and other muscles necessary for breathing are weak. This is the reason that such a baby must be supplied with oxy- o a machine that will read these numbers and automatically sort the mail. Originally, development of this machine was expected to take about five years. Now they think it may be in use before that. The real area where the depart ment feels it is making progress beyond expectations is in public awareness of the ZIP code. gen. Careful adjustment of the oxygen supply is essential be cause we now know that too great a concentration is the cause of a disease of the retina that in the past caused blindness in many premature babies. The digestive tract of the pre mature is also poorly prepared to take on the necessary job of converting food into blood. The baby's sucking and swallowing re flexes are weak and the strong digestive juices needed are also inadequate. For this reason, no attempt should be made to feed a pre mature until he is at least 12 hours old. Many of these infants are fed nothing for 24 hours and then are given only glucose or lac tose solution by means of a medi cine dropper. Another special hazard of the premature is an increased fra gility of the blood capillaries. This may result in spontaneous hem orrhages anywhere in the body. The premature is born with a de ficiency of vitamins C and K. Supplying these vitamins helps to control this tendency to hemorrhage. The premature needs skillful care if he is to survive. An incu bator is essential because his heat - regulating mechanism has not fully developed. Every precau tion must be taken to protect him from infection. Thus, when he is able to take milk, his mother's breasts should be pumped and the milk taken to him in the nursery. Transporting him from the nurse to the mother would incur too great a risk of exposure to infection. Basin Briefs BONANZA Mil. AND MRS.
