Once on the train, the mail then under goes another funneling process by railway postal employes who also have another "pigeon holing" job to do as the tram moves along. It will eventually reach its main point destination, and then be de livered to a substation, one near the addressee's home.

Here again, it is recased by the letter carrier, this time according to block number and street address. The time for surface mail, that Is, non-air mail letters, to be de livered varies as to the distance between the two post offices. Air mail, which goes through a slight ly different process, can be sped from coast to coast in a matter of hours. In the old days, the days of the Pony Express, it took 10 days for a letter, to get from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, and that was considered excellent time.

Today, we all know that a let ter from New York can reach here in two to three days and still, the post, office is not With thefuture promising coast- to-coast flights in four hours or less, the probability of mail getting here in less lime than we know it today, remains one of the possible miracles in this age of speed.

N. GOEN 709 So. 6th Phone TU 4-3262 Of Handling By DAVE COHEN Ever wonder what happened to that letter you mailed this morn ing? Or how many times It will be handled before it reaches its final destination? If there is any one word that best describes how we feel about our mail, it is confidence; confidence that the letter will be delivered. Perhaps you may have wondered how the postal workers know to pull your letter from a stack of mail and send it to Akron, not Ashtabula, or to Pittsburgh and not Philadelphia. It is done by a funneling process, one that is rapid, accurate and virtually foolproof.

When the mail arrives at the post office, it is taken out of the sacks and dumped on a table, called the "face-up" table. It is here that the clerks place an man wun the stamp up, so that it can be shot through its next step, the canceling machine. rnis machine whirls hundreds of letters a minute past a rubber stamp that marks the stamp and also gives the exact time the let ter was mailed. As a sidelieht. it is noted that some letters are too bulky or too small to go tnrougn tne canceling machine, so they are Let ters that have the stamps affixed in a vertical position, instead of the usual horizontal position, arc also hand-canceled.

From the canceling machine, the clerks sort and place the mail in pigeon holes where it is ready to be sent on the first step of its destination. The term first step is used because of the two or three dozen boxes each worker has, called a "case," which represents every area in the world, not just the United States. Visualize a large box, partitioned into about 90 smaller squares. These are the pigeon holes into which each letter will be placed. Ib is here the human element comes into the picture, and why perhaps a letter you addressed to Seattle went to Boise instead.

If these boxes are near each other, and the clerk who was working the mail becomes tired or just plain "goofs" the error won't be corrected until the letter gets to the Boise Post Office and then is sent to its correct destination in Seattle marked "Sent To Boise By Mistake." These 90-odd pigeon holes cannot represent every city in the United States, so mail for Alaska might Tax Group Picks Yancey Carl Yancey has been nominated by directors of the Klamath County Nonpartisan Tax Commit-Itee to succeed the late Ben God- dard as vice chairman of the group.

The date of the meet ings has not been set.
