Where, would you send a letter addressed to ARPAD UT 10 SZAM? That's exactly the kind of problem !aeing Canada Post Office sorters every day for mail going overseas. More than 200,000 such letters handled annually at the Montreal post Office's air mail and foreign surface section had undecipherable or incomplete addresses. The biggest headache for sorters is when the writing is difficult or impossible to decipher. On some letters the address is typed or written in a foreign language. Often the name of the city or country is left out. These letters are screened by a group of postal ex- perts, who -try to determine the correct address before forwarding each letter on to its destination or, if unsuc- cessful, returning it to the sender (providing, of course, there is a return address). The problem is. sometimes solved by leafing. through three volumes of the International List of Post Offices. Each volume has more than 700 pages. The list carge.,..in very handy when a letter was received in Montreal with the last line o f the address reading simply "Cebu City". A check of one of the volumes ereyealed that Cebu City is a Post Office in the Phillipines. Other times experience helps. Occasionally a hint as to the destination of a letter is provided from the locality in which it•was posted. "The problem of undecipherable or incomplete address- es is increasing all the time because more and more people are arriving from Europe to reside in Canada," said E. W. Lewis, programme administrator of the Pos t Office's National Operations Branch. "It'is at the stage now where it is costing a lot of money to handle," he said. The Post Office is trying something new to help allevi- ate the problem. Quite simply, local postmasters are being asked to try to contact the sender in order to correct these letters before they are sent on their way. "This way the local postmaster is helping both the cus- tomer and the Post Office," Mr. Lewis said. However, if a local postmaster cannot contact the sender, the letter is then forwarded to the nearest overseas mail exchange office (there are ten in Canada) where it is examined with the help of the International List of Post Offices. Overseas mail exchange offices are located in post offices in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Saskatoon, Win- nipeg,- Toronto, Montreal, Halifax and St:John's, Newfound- land., "The new system will speed up the processing of this type of mail," Mr. Lewis, said, "and alleviate the burden which, until now, fell on just one post office (Montreal). • "The big advantage for the customer is that his letter won't get mixed up with the thousands of other such letters in the Montreal office. "If we can educate the public about the importance of proper addressing, . Mr. Lewis added, "it will help not only the Post (Mite, but customer's as well, by speeding up the delrvery of these letters."
