Show Page Ten FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1962 THE SALT LAKE TIMES Postmaster David R. Trevithick Explains So-Call- ed Junlc Mail7 advertising medium. Sales by mail are now at a peak of twenty billion dollars a year." Most Americans, regardless of whether they live in towns or in the country, have at hand one or more than 100 million catalogs distributed each year by general mail order houses. Through busi-ness mail, one can buy oranges from Florida, fresh lobsters from Maine, choice steaks from Chi-cago, apples from Oregon, cheese from Wisconsin and hundreds of other local food specialties from as many places across the land. The fact that business mail is handled at a cheaper postal rate than is required for ordinary letters makes the public conclude often that advertising materials are a tremendous burden on the postal service and an unjustified expense to the taxpayer. This is not true, as third class mail is used on a fill-i- n basis to keep post office employees busy as other categories of preferential mail are not available. Those who have questions about business mail should call DA Ext. 349. There is an old and incorrect saying that "nobody loves a fat man." There is another not-so-ol- d, but just as incorrect obser-vation that nobody cares for any business mail. "The public refers to business mail by various nicknames," says Postmaster David R. Trevi-thick. "There are those who call it junk mail. Sometimes it is identified more gently as adver-tising materials or advertising circulars or direct mail. What-ever title it bears, it makes up the bulk of the third class mail, and it includes all materials that have a promotional or informa-tional purpose and which are intended to whet customer appe-tite. "At face value, business mail doesn't seem nearly so important as it really is. Business mail pro-motes all sorts of products and programs: books, magazines, fund campaigns, medicines, ap-pliances, gifts, insurances, indus-trial equipment, etc. It affects directly or indirectly the em-ployment of millions of people. In 1960 advertisers spent more than two billion dollars on mail promotion activities thus making business mail the second largest Utah Demo Women Advised to Make Trip Reservations Now Utah Democratic women want-ing to make the round trip to Washington, D.C., to attend the Democratic National Committee annual Women's Conference in May were urged to sign up as soon as possible.

Speaking before the Washing-ton County Democratic Conven-tion, Mr. Rampton said, "A rep-resentative would take with him into the Senate neither his com-mittee assignments nor seniority. He would start on the same basis as any other new senator." Mr. Rampton pointed out that neither Sen. Moss or Sen. Bennett had ever served in the House of Rep-resentatives, nor had their pre-decessors, Sen. Watkins or Sen. Thomas. MOf the last 12 Utah Congress-men to serve in t he House of Representatives, Abe Murdock is the only one who ever succeeded in being elected to the Senate. He was elected as a result of defeating a senator of his own political party in the primary, and not by meeting and defeating an incumbent of the opposing party in the final election. "In the past 40 years, no Utah Congressman has ever succeeded in unseating an incumbent sena-tor of the opposing political party. During that period of time whenever an incumbent senator had been defeated in the general election, it has been by a candidate from the opposing political party who has never previously held congressional or statewide office," Mr. Rampton concluded. Navy is Seeking Rocket Inspectors The Navy has an immediate need for qualified persons to fill jobs as inspectors (rocket motor assembly) with tHe Bureau of Naval Weapons Resident Repre-sentative located at the Hercules Powder Plant at Magna.

Account number-ing, in addition to other identi-fication, is an essential compo-nent to the automated system. The Internal Revenue Service will advise individual taxpayers who ho not have Social Security numbers at a later date how to obtain them for tax account pur-poses. Business taxpayers lack-ing identification numbers also will be assigned them. The Director said his office would be happy to discuss with any taxpayer or practitioner any questions or problems with re-spect to returns preparation. File Tax Report On Official Forms Roland V. Wise, director of Internal Revenue for the Salt Lake City District, urged that tax returns prepared for 1962 filing be prepared as nearly as possible in accordance with of-ficial forms. Mr. Wise appealed particularly to professional practitioners to insure that the returns they pre-pare conform to the prescribed format. This will become essen-tial as the Service proceeds with its conversion tq automatic data processing. The director emphasized these points: 1. Entries should be made on the tax return in consistent form and sequence, and at the pre-scribed place on the return. 2. Returns of schedules repro-duced by copying machines and other devices should adhere to standards of paper quality and legibility of the official forms. 3. Taxpayers receiving pre-addrese- sd forms should use the forms where possible to mini-mize errors in identification. It is anticipated that pre-address-i- ng of forms will be greatly ex-tended in the future. Mr. Wise pointed out that the Internal Revenue automatic data processing program will be in-augurated- at the beginning of 1961 in the Service's 7 state At-lanta Region and will be extend-ed gradually in all the country. Such a system cannot operate efficiently if any sizeable num-ber of returns requires expen-sive editing before they can be converted to magnetic tape. Director Wise said IRS has for many years made liberal al-lowances for the substitutions of improved schedules and other documents for official forms. While the Service will try to be reasonable in applying its new standards, the ADP system will require that essential informa-tion be submitted in the pre-scribed manner. Mr. Wise also urged that tax- - Association Gains Award of $300 Dr. Frank E.
