Earl Dorrell, Sec'y Post Office Encourages "Printed in Canada" Mailing Changes in postal regulations de- signed to discourage a misleading ap- pearance of Canadian origin in foreign printed and advertising material brought to Canada for mailing were announced recently by Postmaster General Willlam Hamilton. Under existing postal regulations, to avoid placing postage stamps on each of many identical pieces of print- ed advertising material, bulk postage may be paid at the time of mailing. A permit obtained from the Post Of- fice is printed on the envelope as an indication that this has been done. |. Such permits are termed '"'postage- paid-in-cash". In somewhat similar fashion "busi. ness reply electros" are made avall- able to prepay postage on business reply post cards. Until the present, no restrictions had been placed on the use of these special permits for ma- terial printed outside Canada. Under the new regulations, which go into effect October 1, the Post Office will no longer make available either type of permit for mdterials printed abroad for mailing in Canada. THE PORT PERRY STAR, THURSDAY, AUGUST 17th, 1961 --8 master General Hamilton said that in the past some foreign advertisers had used Canadign postage-paid-in- cash dies to give their material a "made in Canada" appearance. The inclusion in foreign periodicals and advertising materials of business- reply cards bearing Canada Post Of- fice permit numbers had heightened this impression, he said. In future, the post office will decline to issue such electros to foreign publishers or advertisers unless written assurance is furnished that the electro will be used only on mail matter printed in Canada. The change in regulations coincides with a recent announcement by the Postmaster Qeneral that, effective August 1, the postage rate on foreign publications .mailed in Canada would be increased from an average of about two and one-half cents per pound to a flat rate of five cents per pound, Mr. Hamilton said that the rate and regulation changes had been under study for some time by the post of- fice and that their implementation also conformed with recommendations of the Royal Commission on Publica- tions recently tabled in the House of Commons, For Continuous Business Forms and machines using these -- see the Port Perry Star.
