New System For
Money Orders
A new system to be introduced
next October by the Canada Post
Office will provide complete
privacy and save time for the
millions of Canadians who
purchase Post Office money
orders.
Under the new system, an
imprinting machine will enter
such items as date and amount,
with the personal details to be
filled in by the purchaser in
privacy and at a time most con-
venient to him or her. This will
also result in a saving of time
for both the customer and the

tendents held their annual ban-
quet in the Legion Hall, Brussels,

post office.
Under the present system, the
clerk must ask the purchaser for
such details as names, locations,
and spellings and enter the in-
formation on the forms while the
buyer and possibly others in a
line-up await their turn for the
wicket service.
All verifying, indexing and
statistical operations will be
performed by computer; paid
money orders will be micro-
filmed front and back for storage
and reproduction should a cus-
tomer require proof of payment.
Mr. Kierans said the Canada
Post Office was proud of the
system it has developed in co-
operation with industry as it
entails an entirely fresh approach
to money order processing. The
streamlined processes, with the
reduction of the number of forms
involved and time saved, will
result in an annual savings of
some 19/0. This will amortize
the original two million dollar
investment in five years.
TODAY'S CHILD
BY HELEN ALLEN
PAGE SEVEN
Brian looks as 11 he'd like to jump right out of that
walker and take off on his own. It won't be long till he can,
because this little boy, not yet 11 months old, can walk now
if he has something to hold onto. Brian is a wiry, bouncy
youngster with big dark eyes, brown hair, medium complex-
ion and an entrancing grin showing his fine new teeth. He is
a happy young fellow who enjoys other children and loves
exploring, especially in cupboards. This little boy has aller-
gies which make him susceptible to wheezy colds and for
which he is on a milk -free diet. Other than that he eats
everything. He is always good-natured and he needs parents
who will not be troubled by his diet restrictions or by his
sometimes raspy breathing. To inquire about adopting Brian
please write to Today's Child, Department of Social and
Family Services, Parliament Buildings, Toronto 182.
