Mrs. Callahan
Tells About Zip
Code At HD Club
Mrs. Lucile H. Callahan
spoke at a meeting of the Rupert
HD Club in the Community
House last Thursday. Post
mistress of the Rupert Post
Office, Mrs. Callahan spoke
on the importance of using the
ZIP Code.
According to Mrs. Callahan,
the Zip Code is a five digit
coding system which identifies
each post office and delivery
unit and associates each with
the sectional center of major
offices through which the mail
is routed for delivery. The
first digit identifies the geo
graphical area, the second and
third digit together with the
first identify the major city
or sectional center and the
fourth and fifth digit identify
the post of'ice or delivery unit.
The purpose of the Zip Code
is to expedite the mail by having
the large mailers presort prior
to deposit in the post office.
The volume of mail is rising
at the rate of two and one half
billions pieces annually. Our
national volume is now more
than 70 million and is expected
to climb to 90 billion in the next
six years.
An automatic Zip Code scan
ner and sorting machine is being
developed for large city post of
fices and sectional centers. The
scanner will be able to read and
sort mail at the rate of 17,000
letters an hour.
Even though Rupert is a small
post office it has had some ex
perience with the helpfulness of
the Zip Code.

School Bus Lights
Now Burn By Day
School bus drivers must now
keep the bus head lights burning
as long as there are school
children aboard, according to a
law passed by the last General
Assembly of Georgia.
Senate Act // 232, or Act 837
of Georgia Laws states that
"It is unlawful for any per
son to operate a school bus
which is transporting school
children unless the headlamps
of such bus is illuminated.
The provisions of this act
shall not apply if no school
children are aboard such
school bus.”
Evidently other motorists
are not yet aware that this
law is in effect. Taylor
County school bus drivers re
port that many people blink
their lights or make other
attempts to let the busdrivers
know that their head lights are
burning.

SEEING DOUBLE - No, you really are not seeing double, you
are just seeing the healthy week old twin calves born on the farm
of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wilson. The calves were born tv. a
mother of primarily white faced Hereford stock with as Mrs.
Wilson termed it "a little bit of Jersey.” She is part of the
Wilson herd of some 40 or 50 cattle. Probably the most in
teresting thing is that these calves have one year old twin
uncles. The mother cow is the grandmother of twins born in
1963 on the Wilson farm.
