Duncan, public relations officer for the Post Office depart- ment of Canada, was the guest speaker at the dinner meeting of the Zurich and District Chamber of Commerce held in the Dom- inion Hotel last Thursday night, Mr. Duncan explained, and showed by means of film, the many prob- lems encountered by the Post Off- ices throughout the Dominion. "The biggest difficulty faced in Post Offices today is the wrong address on mail matter," the guest told the members. "Every day th- ousands of pieces of mail have to be turned back because there is not sufficient information on them to tell the postal clerks where they should go," he added. The speaker told of new elect- ronic sorting equipment which is presently being experimented with in Montreal. "If this proves satis- factory," he added, "it will save many hours of tedious sorting on the part of postal employees in the larger centres." Mr. Duncan told the group of the many acts of fraud which the mails are being used for at the present, and explained how their department investigates this mis- use of the mails. The film he show- ed was entitled "Postmark Can- ada." William Siebert, the postmaster in Zurich, introduced the guest, and he was thanked by Karl }lab- erer.

The local issuer, Lee - land Willert, points out that start - ding in long line-ups can be avoid- ed by a "do -it -now" policy before the March 15 expiry date. To date the sale of permits and licences is down slightly from last year. At this time the local issuer had sold 228 licences last year, while so far this year 210 have been sold. Of this total, the issuer poin- ts out, many are new customers, which indicates local people are lagging behind in their purchase. The office in. Zurich at the Var- iety Store is open daily from 8 a m to 6 p.m,, including Saturdays. Mr. Willert points out there will be no extension beyond the March 15 ex- piry date. Motor vehicle owners applying for plates must complete the state- ment of Insurance Coverage, on the surrender a Liability Insurance reverse side of 1960 permits, and Certificate to avoid paying the $5 Unsatisfied Judgement Fund fee.
