The purpose of the meet
ing was to set up the 1967

Residents
Service
Under the old policy, de
livery service was possible
only if the family lived
within one-half mile of a
carrier's route.
Gladden said the Atlanta
Region has 3,147 rural
routes and it's estimated
each route will have an
average of 1.8 families who
can receive mail for the
first time; because of
O'Brien's new policy.
; Despite the fact the Vnit
ed States is becoming more
urbanized, Mr. Gladden
said overall, population
growth, has kept, the de
. mand ' for , rural , delivery
service high. During the
past fiscal year the, Atlan
ta Region extended this
service to 21,416 families,
hfe said. ;
: Without the new criteria.
Gladden said the 6,000 fam
ilies now eligible would
have had to wait for home
delivery until more fami
