ZIP Codes
It’s hard to believe it’s been that long, but we read that the
U.S. Postal Service’s Zip Code silently observed it’s 10th
anniversary recently. ZIP (Zone Improvement Plan) appeared
to be one of the brighter programs for expediting the flow of mail
a decade ago and just last vear the Postal Service reported that
the five digit Zip Code appeared on more than 82 percent of the
aproximately 50 billion pieces of first-class mail handled in this
country.
Briefly, the system divides the country into 552
mail-delivery areas, each represented by the first three numbers
of the code. The last two digits indicate the postal officer or
installation closest to the point of delivery.
When introducing. Zip, postal officials promised faster
delivery to persons using the code for outgoing mail. But a poll
conducted by the Associated Press in April, 1972 indicated that
Zip-coded mail wasn't really much taster. Of the 800 letters in the
AP survey 19 percent with the code numbers reached their
destination sooner than those without it. However, 17 percent of
the Zip-coded letters took longer to deliver than uncoded ones.
The survey revealed no noticeable differences in delivery time
for the remaining 64 percent.
Employee cutbacks and fewer pickups and deliveries play a
part in hampering the effectiveness of Zip Coding. But
administration of the Postal Service must take its part of the
blame. For instance, newspapers mailed from Clarksville to
Annona or Avery must go to Paris, Greenville, Mt. Pleasant and
Texarkana before reaching their destination.

Handguns
Confiscation of handguns has now been recommended by the 1, ^
National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice Standards Ji
and Goals. As I have predicted, the pattern is clear: first, they i1 TNirnn
ask for registration of handguns, then comes the demand for '[ \ X lrVUilvJ
confiscation, followed by an attack on rifles and even shotguns. J i
This Commission has also recommended the repeal of existing i1
laws against gambling, pornography, the use marijuana and \ TH1
prostitution— which strengthens my belief that theji
Commissidhs recommendations will not receive substantial
Congressional support. Procedures are already in effect by which
the authorities destroy handguns taken from criminals. Twenty YcHFS AgO

legislation.” -- ' ‘ “.....
