Sam Walker gave a report onthe Hertford Post Office offers "D" stamos An adequate supply of "D" stamps and other nondemnominated items are available at the Hertford post office to help customers make a smooth transition after the February 17th postal rate change. Postmaster Ricky Wilkinson says that the nondenominated "D" stamps in sheet, coil and booklet formats represent the new 22-cent first-class rate. There are also nondenominated postal cards and plenty of two cent stampt that, when added to 20-cent stamps, make up the new first-class letter rate. "Nobody likes to see higher postal rates, but this increase is moderate and justified," Postmaster Wilkinson said. "Since the last increase in November 1981, the cost of living in the United States, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, has gone up almost 13 percent. The 22-cent stamp is only a 10 percent rise." "The nondenominated items are available because because we estimate that stamp inventories in post offices at present will fall short of public demand, and we want to avoid customer inconvenience," he said. Commemorative stamps, beginning with the Jerome Kern Stamp, and other 22-cent stamps, are expected to replace the "D" stamps by the end of March, the Postmaster said.
