Present bridge standards specify a 14 9 South bridge on northbound to detect trucks that are too high to go under the 2700 South underpass. If a truck activates the sensors, two flashing signs located between 39th and 33rd South will then light up for several minutes to warn the driver not to proceed. The signs are placed so that the driver will be able to exit at 33rd South. In 1976 the bridge span at clearance.

Current UNICEF allocations for aid to the needy children of Asia, Africa and Latin America is less than one-haof 1 percent of annual global military expenditures, which total (400 billion. After struggling for what seemed like an hour with a postage stamp that just wouldnt stick, I decided to go on to other things. First, I picked up my morning newspaper. And there, on the front page, was an item: 4 More Digits to Zip Your Mail. And in my morning mail, a new and not very encouraging report by the ACU Education and Research Institute on the troubled U.S. Postal Service. To be honest, though it costs times as much to mail a first class letter today (15 cents) as it did eight years ago when the postal service was created (six cents then). Im not one of those critics who considers 15 cents an outrageous price to pay to have a letter delivered either across town or across country. But I am disturbed by the prospects of future rate increases. For example, the ACU-ER- I study projects that it may cost 36 cents to mail a letter six years from now if the U.S. Postal Service continues its present policies . . . That, of course, is where the expanded zip codes are supposed to come in. According to postal service management spokesmen, the proposed nine-digzip codes (which will make them as long as your Social Security number) will give the postal service the flexibility to assign a zip code to every city block (or the equivalent) across the country. This, in turn, would ease mail sorting, speed delivery, and help the postal service hold the line against rate increases by enabling them to introduce more sophisticated equipment into the system during the next five years. The trouble is that according to the ACU-FR- I study and other reports, the less sophisticated equipment now in operation has proved to be difficult to operate and less than reliable producing incredible mixups in some cases. About 40 percent of all mail is Says the ACU-ERstill sorted by hand, using the method developed by Ben Franklin. The other 60 percent is sorted mechanically, but the machines are so unreliable rejecting or missorting over a third of all letters that service is more erratic than ever." One mechanized post office in Boston, for example, was reported to have sent 56 million pieces of mail to the wrong places during just one six month period. Which makes us wonder why postal officials feel the longer zip codes and more sophisticated machinery are going to solve anything. As a final note, I might make a twisted-logi- c suggestion to the post office: If nine-digone for every zip codes block will improve sorting and delivery services, why not assign a zip code to every house and apartment building? Which, after all, is why we have street addresses, isnt it?
