ZIP Code Is New
Plan To Speed Up
Delivery of Mail

A new program, designed to
speed up mail deliveries, partic-
ularly for large mailers, was an
nounced yesterday by Acting Post
master Robert W. Lohr. With the
announcement came instructions
for proper use of the improved
system which is to be known as
the new five-digit ZIP Code pro-
gram.
The system is designed to pro-
vide a uniform code for use by
large mailers so that outgoing mail
may be pre-sorted before deposit
and aid in getting to its destina-
ton by as much as a day sooner
than at present.
Lohr said it was an expansion
of the present postal delivery zone
system. 1t identifies each delivery
unit and associates each such de-
livery unit with the sectional CEN
ter or major office.
Lohr explained "if you receive
your mail from the main post Of
flee your ZIP code numeral is
21550. If you receive your mail by
rural carrier and are served from
Oakland your ZIP code numeral
is 2155O. If you receive your mail
at Hutton, rural station, the ZIP
code numeral is 21551.
The first number designates the
region, the second number the
sectional office, and the last two
numbers designate Oakland.
He said the ZIP code goes into
effect nationally as of July 1 and
urged residents of Oakland and
Hutton to learn the ZIP code
