Yule Mailing
Dates Advanced
The Postal Service today ad-
vaned its suggested Christmas
mailing deadlines for domes-
tic parcels and letter mail to
Dec. 3 and 10, respectively, in
anticipation of an exception-
ally high mail volume.
Citing the impact of great-
ly increased mail volumes
generated by the 15-state Unit-
ed Parcel Service strike in the
East and South, and its resi-
dual effect on other parts of
the country, the Postal Service
said it is compelled to ask
the public to mail even earlier
than normal.
The service said that because
ot the dedication of its em-
ployees, many of whom have
been working long hours, it
has had little trouble handling
the increased mail volume
since the parcel strike began
in mid-September. It express-
ed confidence it will continue
to be able to cope with the in
crease, with the cooperation of
the public and major mailers.
Parcel volume has already
more than doubled in the
strike area and is up signifi-
cantly nationwide, and letter
mail is also on the rise, the
Postal Service said. It said
most of the increase, to date,
has been from large volume
business mailers, who presort
their mail and deposit at
scheduled, non-peak hours in
plants prepared to handle it.
For example, the service said
it is working closely with
shippers of perishable goods
to handle millions of gift pack-
ages normally moved by other
shippers.
As Christmas ileal's, how-
ever, more and more of the
mail will be from the general
public, deposited at neighbor-
hood post offices, branches
and stations, on top of the al-
ready unprecedented business
mail volume, the Postal Serv-
ice said.
As a result, the service said,
while priority will be given to
letter mail, many postal fa-
cilities normally dedicated to
letter mail may have to be
used to prevent an unmanage-
able backlog of parcels.
Therefore, the Postal Serv-
ice said, it strongly urges the
public to deposit their parcels
by Dec. 3 and their letters and
greeting cards by Dec. 10 to
assure delivery by Christmas.
It asked that customers mail
as early as possible, use prop-
er packaging materials and
techniques, and properly ad-
dress and ZIP Code their
mail. /
The previous suggested mail-
ing dates had been Dec. 10
for domestic parcels and Dec.
17 for letter mail.
Suggested mailing dates fer
international mail are un-
changed.
■ L
nually to an association that
has shown the greatest in-
crease in the number of dairy
herds enrolled in the DHIA
testing program during the
past year, points out Dr. Mi-
chael Tomaszewski, Extension
Dairy specialist.
According to the specialist,
the number of herds on test in
the Hopkins DHIA jumped
lrom 35 to 67 within the past
year, a 91 per cent increase.
The number of cows almost
doubled as well, increasing
from 3,624 to 6,659.
The number of supervisors
in Hopkins association has also
increased from one to four
during the past year, further
attesting to the increase in
herds enrolled.
UW Campaign
Short of Goal
Co-chairmen along with
United Way president Tim
Kelty, chairman Dan Dur-
ham and assistant chairman
Joe Bob Burgin met for a
wrap-up luncheon Wednesday
at the Ramada Inn.
Although the United Way
campaign is officially over for
this year, Kelty, Durham and
Burgin will continue to work
on the fund drive for another
two weeks before dosing the
books.
At present the drive has net-
ted just over $35,000 towards
the $41,600 goal set for this
year.
“We know that there is still
money coming in," Durham
said, “and there are some fi-
nal contacts yet to be made.
We should have a final fig-
ure some time in December,
and 1 think we will be within
a few percentage points of
making our goal."
Each co-chairman received
a small statuette of the Unit-
ed Way logo with his name on
it, from the campaingn lead-
ers for his participation in the
fund drive.
, In discussing the good points
and bad points of the cam-
paign all of the cochainnen
agreed that they preferred
the co-chairmanship arrange-
ment over the single chairman
arrangement that has been
used in the past
Kelty thanked the cochair-
men for the bard work and
good attitude they maintain-
ed throughout the campaign.
“One of the best aspects of
this campaign," Kelty said,
“was the positive attitude you
co-chairmen held during the
campaign. Dan and 1 never
heard a negative word from
those working on this cam-
paign, and I think that reflects
the calibre of people we bad
working with us this year."
