Seawright stated this week that it has come to the attention of the county court that only about 10 per cent of those qualified for Medicare have signed up for this service and the court wishes to advise those qualified that the agent for Social Security Administration is in the sheriff’s office of the county court house every Monday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Those qualified should Clear Address Aids Delivery One of the biggest problems pos tal employees face is illegible h a n d w r i t i n g . At C h r i s t m a s time, when mail volumes skyrock et, this can become a major prob lem, Postmaster Bateman states. “The use of ZIP codes by mail ers does help speed up the pro cess because often if the city and state are unreadable the ZIP code will direct the mail to the post office from which it will be de livered. Clerks in that post office, being more fam iliar with local res idents, may be able to figure out the person to whom the mail should be delivered. Another significant problem is the number of parcels delayed or actually undelivered because of poor wrapping or packaging. Post master Bateman urged that special care be taken to see that each package is tightly stuffed and that nothing rattles around inside. Parcels are generally shipped in bags and often heavier items rest on top of sm aller, lighter packages. The postmaster encour aged mailers to be a bit cautious and insure all packages. All parcels should be addressed on only one side and should have the address written somewhere on the inside of the package in case the exterior wrapping should come off. It is a good idea to also en close a list of the contents. Poor packaging and illegible or incorrect addressing accounts for about half a million undelivered parcels each year.
