Re ports from many_ cities indicate i hat it has been'received enthus iastically by the public. Within a few days after initia tion of the plan, under instruc tions of Post master General Frank C. Walker, neatly all the postmasters in the large cities affected had assigned petal unit numbers to their branch office, millions of residents had been ad vised of the number to be added to their addresses, and a consul eraltle volume of mail already was carrying the numbers as signed. By June 1,-practically all whose addresses was affected had been notified of their postal unit numbers. The new system speeds up the separation of mail for distribu tion to branch offices and permits much more rapid handling of mail by inexpei ienced postal clerks, thousands of whom have been employed to replace personnel who have gone* into the Armed forces and into war industries. Rapid increase in volume of mail and the loss of some thirty thouand postal employees to the armed forces made it necessary to adopt the plan, in the interest of accurate, efficient mail service and for the relief of postal per sonnel who are carrying an ex tremely heavy burden of work. The average work weel< in the service now is about 52 hours, and in many post offices, employees are working 10 and 12 hours a day, seven days a week, because of local shortage of personnel. D. M.
