Sen. Herman Talmadge Given
Blue Key Award Ai U. Os Georgia :
U. S. Sen. Herman E. Talmadge
is the recipient of the first Blue
Key award ever given by the 36-
year-old University of Georgia’s
Chapter of the Blue Key National
Honor Fraternity.
It went to him for the “out
standing major contributions” he
has made to the University (his
alma mater), both during his ad
ministration as governor and
since serving in the U. S. Senate.
The presentation was made at the
chapter’s first annual banquet,
held on the campus as a major
event during the University’s re
cent homecoming week end ac
tivities.
After expressing his profound
gratitude for the high honor be
- towed upon him, Sen. Talmadge,
who was both honor guest and
principal speaker at the banquet,
had this message for the stu
dents:
“The last Congress, indicating
the growing importance of school
ing in today’s complex age, de
voted more of its attention to ed
ucation than any other in recent
history. The multitude of laws re
lating to the needs of education
which were enacted by the 88th
Congress perhaps set a new rec
ord, surpassing the work in this
area cf any other Congress in
history.”
He said the education bills
passed by Congress in 1963 and
1964 “call for the expenditure of
billions of dollars and include a
vast array of programs, including
vocational education, college class
room construction, various kinds
of student loans, professional edu
cation in the health field, library
services and construction, teacher
training and job training for old
<er persons and school dropouts.”
The senator continued:
“The enactment of these pro
grams points to an increasing
awareness of the importance of
education to the future security
and prosperity of the nation and
the well-being of our people.
Project Agriculture . . .
Zl^Coded Mailings
Move With Frost Line
Farmers and Gardeners
Benefit From New Service
The old saw that “Everyone talks about the
weather, but nobody does anything about it,” no
longer applies to the Post OHice Department.
It’s ZIP Coding the Frost Line!
In doing something about the weather, the Depart
ment is offering a boon to farmers, nurserymen,
truckers and businessmen whose margin of profit de
pends, to a great degree, on beating Jack Frost to the
market.
Dubbed PROJECT A—forO;
Agriculture—the new program
consists of speeding delivery
cf mail order seeds, plants, 1
and food products by ZIP *
Coding parcels according to 1
the movement of the Frost 1
Line.
Here’s how Project A works: 1
A farm or a nursery ships its ‘
perishable products—flowers,
shrubberies, trees, vegetables. 1
seeds, etc.—by parcel post.
ZIP Coded according to the 1
frost lines announced annually 1
by the Weather Bureau.
In filling orders from cus
tomers, the mailer breaks
down these weather zones into
ZIP Code sectional centers, to
which delivery is made directly
from his local post office.
The result? Plants are re
ceived days earlier.
Does it work? The Jack
son and Perkins Nurseries, of
Newark, N.J. — the world's
largest nursery and the largest
rose growers in the United
States—are sold on the pro
gram.
They have found—in ship
ping nearly a million parcels
of perishable plants—that an
estimated three handlings are
eliminated between the point
of mailing and the point of
receipt, when the parcels are
■ZIP Coded according to the
Frost Line.
* And the Jackson and Per
kins parcels were received “in
^almost record time and in ex
jcellent condition.”

“Because of our rapidly chang
ing economy, the transition to in
dustrialization and the increasing
demand for a high degree of spec
ial skill and training, Georgia’s
educational programs particular
ly need a boost and our state
stands to benefit a great deal
from the new laws, and in fact
I already has.
“For example, a $4..5-million
grant under the 1963 Higher Edu
cation Facilities Act already has
been made to Georgia, and the
state will receive approximately
sls-million under the Vocational
i Education Act of 1963. Also, un
der the National Defense Educa
tion Act, which was extended and
' expanded by the 88th Congress,
1 69 Georgia school systems are
I scheduled to receive more than
Js9-million in 1964-65 in operating
. funds.
“The state and federal govern
■ ments are now working hand in
hand to give every Georgian an
■ opportunity to get a good educa
; tion in virtually any field of en
; deavor. Educational opportunities i
[ abound, and those who don’t take
advantage of them will answer
“pool cases"—large cardboard
boxes in which smaller parcels
destined for the same sectional
center are pooled for mail
ing—to further reduce parcel ■
post damage.
Upon its arrival, the pool '
case would be immediately
opened, and the contents de- 1
livered quickly to the ad
dresses in nearby communities.
This method saves time en
route, by reducing the number ।
of necessary post office han
dlings, and greatly reduces the ;
likelihood of damage—which
traditionally has increased
with each handling.
President Johnson has called
for the best possible postal
service at the lowest possible
cost. Project Agriculture and
pool casing are just two new
programs recently initiated by
the Post Office Department.
Scheduled Parcel Post
At Lansing, Mich.. Mr. Fred
rick Belen, Deputy Postmaster
General, recently supervised
the start of a new program for
shipment of automotive parts
using ZIP Code and pool cases.
In many areas of the coun
try parcel post shipments are
being' scheduled so that mail
ers can be told when they can
expect their packages to be de
livered. In many instances
next day delivery is being ac
complished.
On Sept. 9 at Annapolis,
Md.. Mr. Gronouski announced
an experiment for "scheduled"
delivery over about 16,000
square miles in the mid-At
lantic area for parcel post,
providing guaranteed delivery
within specified times between
656 post offices. This is the
first of many such programs
being developed.

Cotton Making
A Comeback
In Georgia
King cotton, deposed by the boll
weevil and low yields a genera- ,
tion ago, is staging a comeback.
And its return to the throne of
importance in the Georgia agri
cultural economy is right on sche- 1
dule with the timetables which 1
its supporters set up for it in ‘
1958.
At that time the University of
Georgia Cooperative Extension
Service announced the state ag
ricultural program “What Can Be .
Done,’’ and predicted it would in
crease farm income by S4OO mil
lion a year by 1965.
The goal for cotton, which pro
duced onlv 324 pounds of lint per
acre seven years ago, was set at
500 pounds. Extension agronomists
and countv agents oroposed to

The nation’s first self-service, round-the-clock post office was opened in
suburban Washington. D.C. in late October. 1964. One of many innova
tions resulting from President Johnson’s directive for the beat possible mail
service at lowest cost, this experimental unit offers stamps, post cards, and
stamped envelopes at cost, plus limited parcel poet services. The unit is
located in a large shopping center.
Postmaster General Only
Ph. D. Ever In Cabinet
Postmaster General John"
Austin Gronouski, took office
September 30, 1963. He is the
only known member of a Pres
ident’s cabinet ever to hold an
earned Ph. D.
The Nation's top postal ex
ecutive has gained a reputa
tion as a skilled administrator,
educator, and economist. In
conducting the farflung oper
ations of the Post Office De
partment. he runs, in Navy
parlance, a tight ship.
The postal budget he sub
mitted to Congress in January
of 1964 for fiscal 1965 was
$l5O million under the esti
mate made 4 months earlier.
This reduction was achieved
without eliminating essential
services, and within the frame
work of safeguarding the live
lihood of career employees.
As major projects of his
postal administration, Mr.
Gronouski has taken action to
speed up parcel post deliveries
and to cut down delay and
damage to the mails.
Under his leadership, strides
have been made in implement
ing President Johnson’s pro
gram barring discrimination
and assuring equal job oppor
tunities for the Department's
590.000 employees.
The productivity of clerical
help was boosted 4.3 percent in
fiscal 1964 over 1960, produc
ing savings of $69 million over
that period.
The Postmaster General's
human touch was charac
terized in a news story in
the Schenectady (New York)
Gazette during a visit to that
city in May of 1964. The story
described him as "the warm
est man since Wallace Beery.”

• reach the objective by speeding
research information and recom
mendations to farmers and en
couraging wider and faster adop
tion of improved practices.
The program would concen
trate on adequate use of fertilizer
and lime, adequate control of
weeds and insects, use of adapted
and quality seed, and soil and
water conservation.
Cotton got another boost in
1961-62 when the intensified
“Profit Picking Cotton Program”
was initiated in 32 counties. This
was to be an all-out effort to sat
urate the counties with the latest
information on soil fertility, seed,
weed control, insect control, and
harvesting. The support of farm
ers, bankers, ministers, teachers,
civic leaders, editors, farm sup
ply and equipment dealers, and
others would be enlisted to en
courage application of the infor
mation in the cotton fields.
Twenty-four counties w r ere
added to the program in 1962-63,
25 more in 1963-64.
During the five-year period
1958-1962 the average cotton yield
in Georgia climbed from 324
pounds to 369. In 1963 a record
high of 454 pounds was achieved,
and the Georgia Crop Reporting
Service has predicted this record
will be broken this year. GCRS
has estimated the 1964 yield at
472 pounds — 18 more than last
year and just 28 short of the goal
set for 1965.
If the Crop Reporting estimate
holds up, said Extension Service
Agronomist James E. Jackson,
Georgia will produce 615.000 bales *
of cotton this year. Based on the
current market, the value to Geor
gia farmers will exceed $lO5 mil
lion. And the total contribution j
to the state’s economy will be
multiplied several times by the I
time the cotton is processed into
textiles, Mr. Jackson pointed out.

Mr. ZIP Moves
Long Distance
Parcels Faster
Five Digit Code
Skips Sorting Stops
Mr. ZIP has a new
assignment—to accelerate
delivery of long distance
parcel post by 24 hours or
more.
Postmaster General John
A. Gronouski has an
nounced plans to distribute ।
outgoing parcel post by
ZIP ( ode in the Nation's
largest post offices. These
offices account for more
than 50 percent of the total
volume.
The program, he said, not
only speeds deliveries but re
duces damage to parcels be
cause of fewer handlings in
transit.
"I have made a commitment
to President Johnson to re
vitalize our sagging parcel
post service,” Mr. Gronouski
said.
"I envisage a virtual revolu
tion in the handling of par
cels."
"The success of the pro
gram," Mr. Gronouski said,
"hinges on public use of ZIP
Code numbers in addressing
packages, as well as the co
operation of firms that mail
parcel post in large volume.”
Explaining how the pro
gram operates, Mr. Gronouski
pointed out that ZIP Coded
parcel post bypasses larger
cities where there is a heavy
mail volume in post offices and
is routed directly to the sec
tional center nearest its des
tination.
Faster-Safer Deliveries
Delivery thus is accelerated
by as much as 24 hours, espe
cially for packages which
travel 300 miles or more. And
since fewer handlings are in- [
volved, the possibility of dam
age is reduced.
Byway of illustration, Mr.
Gronouski said a parcel mailed
from Los Angeles to Alex
andria, Virginia, without ZIP
Code must be halted enroute
at Cincinnati for further sort
ing. From there it is sent to
the Washington. D.C., sec
tional center and then for
warded to Alexandria.
But if the package is ZIP
Coded it will bypass Cincin
nati and move directly to
Alexandria through the Wash
ington sectional center, usu
ally by local delivery star
. routes, saving as much as a
■ day in transit.
, ZIP Code is built around the
■ concept of 566 of these sec
tional centers throughout the
, country, Mr. Gronouski ex
plained. By the end of the
year, he said, the distribution

New design in mail boxes is tested out

and less costly to maintain.
Mailster Routes
On Increase
Mailsters, the three wheeled
red, white, and blue postal de
livery vehicles, now are used
on 12,000 routes. Ten thou
sand are being added.
Putting a footcarrier in a
mailster gives him wheels,
gives the patron more service,
means economy for the Post
Office Department, and adds
comfort for mailmen.
The millions of people now
on Mailster routes receive 6-
day parcel post service from
the same postman who de
livers their other mail.
Trucks and personnel pre
viously used on parcel post
routes are freed for other im
portant duties. Mechanized
routes in areas away from the
congestion of the city can
usually be expanded to serve
more people as the suburban
areas grow.
Mail carriers are not re
quired to carry pouches which
can weigh up to 35 pounds
when loaded. In northern
areas mailsters are being
equipped with heaters for
winter use.
U.S. Sees Mail
Explosion
The U.S. Post Office is in the
middle of a mail explosion.
Six billion more pieces of mail
will be delivered this year than
were delivered only 3 years
ago. That's enough mail to
reach around the Equator 25
times.
Motorized equipment has
helped keep postal employ
ment relatively stable. As
the mail explosion continues,
the total number of postal em
ployees is expected to rise very
slowly in comparison with the
soaring volume figures.

Code is expected to be imple
mented in each of these mail
handling plants, which serve

Moves To City,
Business Mail Surge
Change Building Pattern
The growth of business mail and the move to urban
areas have brought about a dramatic change in the
Post Office’s construction program.
The folksy, newsy letters from Aunt Matilda and
her counterparts make up only 10 percent of the 72
billion pieces of mail that the U.S. Post Office Depart
ment will process this year.
Ninety percent of U.S. mail is business mail.
o
Since 1900 our population
has multiplied about two and
a half times—from roughly
76 million to 190 million. By
the year 2000, if the present
rate of growth continues,
there will be more than 330
million U.S. citizens.
It is expected that 85 per
cent of the population will live
in urban communities and
only 15 percent in rural areas.
In President Johnson’s ap
peal for the "Great Society,”
he noted the need for in
creased services in urban
areas.
"It will be the task of your
generation to make the Amer
ican city a place where future
generations will come, not only
to live, but to live the good
life,” he said.
Use of the mails has accele
rated four times as fast as the
population rate. Most of the
increase is attributed to busi
ness. It is now estimated that
75 percent of all domestic mail
is originated by commercial
and industrial organizations
and 15 percent is generated
by the public in response.
Five-Year Program
Tire Post Office Department
now aims to build post offices
and mail handling plants
where the greatest volume of
mail is concentrated.
This is the essence of the
Department’s 5-year program,
begun in mid 1964, to halt a
threatened hardening of the
arteries in the Nation’s postal
system.
Much of this space is needed
in the larger cities. Cities
like New York, Milwaukee, At
lanta, Buffalo. Omaha. Port
land and Indianapolis are
struggling along with postal
buildings of 50-year vintage or
more.
New Buildings
During fiscal 1964 the de
partment took a big step to
ward sprucing up the postal
system in the larger cities by
awarding contracts for con
struction of new buildings in
nine cities. Another 13 are
scheduled for fiscal 1965, and
plans have crystallized for an
additional 15 cities In 1966.

offices contracts are awarded
to qualified architectural and
engineering firms to draw up
plans for the building. Post
master General Gronouski has
continued the Department's
policy of encouraging the
architects to exercise initia
tive, freshness and originality
in their designs, provided they
keep in mind the basic func
tional use of the building and
the always existent factor of
economy in a building con
structed for government use.
Frills Out
Frills which unnecessarily
increase construction costs are
out.
Wherever feasible, the De
partment tries to follow the
architectural pattern of the
community. Provided other
postal needs are met. It is
also willing to cooperate in a
community effort to rehabili
tate and revitalize downtown
areas.
While it is concentrated in
the big cities, the building pro
gram is not confined to those
areas.
The 5-year program encom
passes a total of some 4,700
buildings, of which less than
100 are planned for the big
cities.
The overall cost for new
space is estimated at sl.l bil
lion. Some post offices would
be built under federal owner
ship, requiring direct appro
priations from the Congress.
But the projects planned
through fiscal 1965 probably
will be built under the Depart
ment's Lease Construction
program.
Boosts Local Tax Rolls
Under this program the
building is constructed with
the use of private funds.
Essentially, the Govern
ment's financial contribution
is limited to paying the rent,
while the owner contributes to
the local tax rolls.
