Hue And Cry Over 'Zip' Diminishing

By Mike Thoele | Remember ZIP? He was introduced by the post office a couple of months ago to combat what postal officials have stamped “postal paralysis.’’ , And though it seems like absolutely nobody, from newly-ap-pointed postmaster general John Gronouski to the girls who work at Holthouse-on-the-Highway ( a postal substation', can remember his number, the post office department, nationally and locally, seems to be pretty well satisfied with the way the five digit system is working out. Even the hue and cry about living in a "numbered nation" seems to have subsided. In reality only a very small - percentage of the mail which passes through the postal portals here in Deactur is ZIP-marked but local postal officials say that the plan is proceeding on schedule both here and elsewhere. The post office department has believed from the beginning that it would take a long time to gain universal acceptance and use of __the number system. Decatur postmaster John Boch said, "The department didn’t start out with the idea of a ‘hard sell' for the ZIP code. They realize it’s going to take time.” Local businesses have been the leaders in cooperating with the plan. Boch pointed out that the First State Bank is one of the most consistent users of the code numbers. Many local firms have added it to the return address of their printed business envelopes. This makes the numbers available to their customers when corresponding with them. The ZIP code, as identified by the post office, is "a five-digit coding system which identifies each post office and delivery unit and associates each with the sectional center or major office through which mail is routed for delivery. The first digit identifies the geographical area; the second and third digits, together with the first, identify the major city or sectional center; and the fourth and fifth digits identify the post office or other delivery unit." The code was designed as the 1 beginning of a system which could produce a total revamping of the post office’s time-honored and be- - labored mail handling system • which often requires looking at each piece of mail from eight to 12 times. When the system was first begun every postal patron in Decatur received a slip which gave the code number for this city. Besides that, the measure was given full publicity in newspapers and magazines across the Country. But the public, slow to change, has been putting the number on only a fraction of its mail. Despite this, local official are still confident that the system will grow and will some day become prevalent ehough that the post office department Will be able to introduce special mechanical sorting machines designed to electrahically “read” the ZIP numbers. In attempting to “put over” the code the post office has made a number of attractive offers to sizeable business firms and other large mailers. Very large mailers usually have special addressed printing plates with which they prepare mailings. If these companies are large enough and send out a sufficient volume of mail the post office will add the code numbers to their address plates free of -charge. For some smaller firms the post office will provide a directory which lists all ZIP numbers. Firms not large enough to qualify for this may purchase the directory. One or two Decatur firms have a sufficient volume of In those times as the country

I mail to qualify for a free directory. When and if the ZIP code is successful it will replace methods of distributing mail in this country which began in colonial days. In those times as the ocuntry grew and new towns were born, more and more pigeonholes were added to the mail sorting cases, eventually reaching the all-time high in 1901 of 76.945 post offices. The number of post offices gradually dedredsed to about 35,000 bift except for minor changes the System has remained the same. If the system is- successful it will reduce post office expenses considerably, cut delivery times and help alleviate the trouble of reading illegible hand writing — a postal problem which ranks second only to biting dogs. Incidentally, the Decatur number is 46733. QUINTUPLETS (Continued from Page One) the Fischers.
