UNDERSIZED THE KAYSVILLE postmaster said that after July 15, envelopes and cards measuring less than three and a half inches high or five inches long will be returned to the sender if mailed. Postmaster Johnson said that because the envelope and greeting card industries have had more than three years to prepare for the new standards, few retailers should still be selling undersized pieces. MANY CONSUMERS, however, are likely to still have smaller envelopes and cards in their supply of stationery, Mr. Johnson said. The regulations also pieces and flimsy cards are being banned because they can become trapped in other mail, tear and jam mail processing machinery. As a result, the letters of others can also be damaged. The standards also affect oversized and pieces of mail, Mr. Johnson said. For first-clas- s mail weighing one ounce or less, there will be a surcharge of seven cents for pieces more than six and an eighth inches odd-shap- high or ll2 inches long.
