"Use up your small and
undersized envelopes and,
cards before July 15." Post
master Florence Brown bf
Kenansville reminds cus
tomers. That is the <Jate
when the Postal Service's
new siae standards become
effective.
The Kenansville post
master said that after July
15. envelopes and cards
measuring less than 3Vi
inches high or 5 inches long
will be returned to the sender
if mailed.
Postmaster Brown said
because, the envelope and
greeting card industries have
had more than three years to
prepare for the new stan
dards. few retailers should
still be selling undersized
pieces. ??
"Many, consumers, how
ever. are likely to still have
smaller envelopes and cards
in their supply of station
ery.' Mflit Brown said.
The regulations also pro
hibit flimSy cards. In the
future they must be at least

result, the letters of others

The standards also affect
oversized and odd-shaped

Brown said. For first-qfess
