SALVATION ARMY BEGINS APPEAL FOR ASSISTANCE Shiny red kettles and tinkling brass bells -- familiar symbols of the Christmas season-- appeared in Chicago and suburbs Friday as the salvation army begins its annual appeal for contributions that will make the4 holidays happy for needy people. The kettles are little, but their jobs are big. Stationed at busy corners and shopping centers for twenty-six days, the kettles are the major appeal to the public for help in bringing Christmas cheer to approximately 48,000 needy persons in the metropolitan Chicago area. " For more than eighty yeatfs in metropolitan Chicago, the Salvation Army has brought Christmas to the distressed of every race and creed," said Lt. Colonel Gordon A. Foubister, commander of the Northern Illinois division and director of Greater Chicago Activities. PROPER ZIP CODE NUMBERS SPEED HOLIDAY PARCELS Holiday mailers will spend less time at parcel post windows mailing Christmas gifts if they have the proper zip code in the mailing address. Postmaster General Law- v rence F. O'Brien has reminded mailers that since January of this year, postage for a package is determined by the zip code number. If the code is not in the address, the window clerk must look it up. This obviously slows movement in the parcel post line. Mr. O'Brien noted that this Christmas, a record volume of mail is expected and "anything that can be done to expedite the processing will ease the burden on postal employees, speed service and help make a visit to the post office a more pleasant experience." Most parcel post is sorted and routed by zip code. Presently, about three-fourths of all packages come into the post office with the codes already in the address. Since Jan. 15, when Public Law 89-593 became effective, the key to determining the postage rate on a parcel is the "sectional center" the main post office servicing a large area. As many as 100 post offices may route their mail through the sectional center which is a transportation and marketing hub. The first three numberg of the five-digit zip code represent this major post office. "There is still time to fill out and return the recently distributed zip code locater cards to obtain needed codes before holiday mailing," Mr. O'Brien said. The cards were sent to households during September and October to make the codes readily available. Persons wishing to find a number fill in the zipless address and their return address on the card and mail it free of charge. The post office supplies the proper code and returns the form. • Suggested mailing dates for holiday gift parcels are: Gifts of five pounds or less destined to U.S. servicemen abroad, and overseas air mail to civilians in remote areas off of main air routes. . .December 1. Gifts to distant states sent by surface mail. . .December 4. Overseas air mail on heavily traveled routes. . .December 10. Air Mail to members of the Armed Forces overseas. . . December 11.
