Sunday, September 1,1963 BILL PROUTY Next to his toothbrush, a man's >o*t office box is about the most irivate thing he’s got. ,Or at least that's the way it Osed to be. But now it’s got so that anytime you open your box t lere’s liable to be mail in it ffom ail over the place, from people you've never heard of, apd, what’s even worse, from people who don't even know who YOU are! j Junk mail is what it is,* though t>e Post Office folks use instead a euphemistic phrase to desig nate it: "bulk mail.” And a very descriptive phrase it is, too, because nowadays <ex cept along toward the bill end of the month) the bulk of the mail in your box at any given time is liable to be Just that. Bulk mail, junk mail or any thing else you want to call it, it's still a pain in the box. And, according to the poop from the V. S. Post Office Department, the stuff is going to get thicker be fore it ever thins out any. The only thing that would slacken today's avalanche of third class mail is a boost in the bulk mail rates. And,' though the price for this mail will next year be raised from two and one-eighth to two and three-quarters cents per piece, it is doubtful that there will be any noticeable drop in the 18 billion pieces of junk mail now being crammed into post office and home mail boxes annually all over the country. You’ve noticed folks - taking junk mail from their post office boxes, haven’t you? Invariably they handle the stuff gingerly, at times even angrily separating it from the first and second class mail, and striding with all haste to the nearest waste basket and tossing it away without a second glance at the stuff. Others are more tolerant, or perhaps, more curious would better describe ijiem. As they remove the stuff from their boxes, a quizzical ex pression appears on their faces Jnd they walk slowly to a coun tr, all the while peeling the tiff and rapidly noting the con tents before (though sometimes reluctantly) sliding the piece off «e end of the desk into a waste £ Bat no matter what kind of reaction there is to this third xlass mail, the point is that mere is always SOME kind of Peaqtion. It is noticed as well as censured. And the many con cerns which have built their whole financial structure oh third class mail consider distrib uting bulk mail profitable if fcly five per cent of the reci pients respond in whatever fash j°n According to the Post Office department, which takes in $94 jpilion annually in third class revenue, this kind of soliciting has become an integral part of Jhe American economy, and to disrupt it would result in a considerable number of bank ruptcies. And of course you know by now that what’s good for business is good for the wintry, no matter if the business is General Motors or Joe Usury’s Loan Company. To be sure, ■Nothing should stand in the way *'of business, or revenue. , » The mailing lists are the back bone of business by third class Eiail. There are many firms hose entire business is spiling lcb information. And there are lists for almost any category of persons you care to mention car owners, fishermen, bicycle riders, campers, boaters, any thing at all. . Apparently there is nothing that can be done about such mailing liata, although the in vasion of privacy angle might be explored, So the next time you get a Commission Gets Orange Road Bid Bids totaling $6,265,720.97 were received by the State Highway Commission yesterday for 26 road B onstruction projects across forth Carolina. “Among the bids was a low of $351,925.19 from C. C. Mangum Inc. of Raleigh for relocation of just over a mile of SR 10», from a point just north of 1-85, south of Hillsboro, northward to a point south of Margaret Lane in Hills boro.
