Hill St: THE JACKSON PROCRESS-ARCUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1977 New Postal Rates Strike At Newspapers As of July 6th, postal rates for second class publications, such as the Jackson Pro gress-Argus. along with books, records, and other mail items, have risen once again. On the average, the increase will be about 21 per cent, but by April of 1978 the rates will rise for other types of mailings. Postmaster General Ben jamin F. Bailar already has said that the postal service is eyeing an increase in first class mail postage rates, possibly a two-cent rise to 15 cents, if Saturday deliveries is terminated. But, if service remains on the six-day schedule, the rates could increase to 16 cents—for everybody. For publications such as “Time” and “Newsweek” magazines, the rate hike will be from 5.57 cents per copy to 6.80 cents on an average. Increased postal rates are expected to have an inflation ary effect on newspaper and magazine subscriptions, as many of the publications cannot absorb higher mailing costs from their present revenues.
