Although the new parcels post law
goes into effect the first Of January
comparatively few persons understand
it's provisions. Perhaps this accounts
for Uncle Sans recent activity in pre-
ing copies Of 1t broadcast over the
country.
Uncle Sans map is very much like
the one shown above. Its most no.
ticeable feature is the division of the
country into zones.
Now, you have doubtless heard of
the zone system in connection with
the parcels post and wondered what it
meant. A glance at Uncle Sans map
will show you. though to completely

yourself as living at the national CAPT
