Where would you send a letter addressed to ARPAD
UT 10 SZAM?
That's exactly the kind of problem facing 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 came 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 revealed,
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, progranime 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 Office, but customers as well, by speeding
up the delivery of these letters."
You would probably still be trying to figure out what
to do with ARPAD UT 10 SZANI:
TO the ELECTORS
OF MORRIS TOWNSHIP:
As a candidate for council for 1973-'74,
and having twelve years' experience, your
support would be much appreciated.
M. ROSS SMITH
TO THE ELECTORS OF BRUSSELS:
Like many other Tax Payers in the Village I am
not totally satisfied with the way our money has been
spent in the past so I am seeking a seat in the Local
Council so that I may try to alter this.
I have no previous knowledge of Local. Politics
but with your help it shouldn't take long to get the
necessary experience that is required.
Now as far as the cigars and coffee that I con-
tributed this week, this was not to get votes but was to
mark the arrival in our home of our new daughter on
November 20.
Please on December 4th vote as you like but
VOTE.
Sincerely yours,
Harold Bridge
