Othra- rates effective January Ttfa, he noted, are: 10 cents an ounce for air nae, 8 eeMa eOdi ftr po^al CMtb, and 8 cents each for ah- postal cards.
"When yoo conslte- that 6 cents will carry a first-class letter ad¬ dressed to any one of 200 million persoM ta SO states, as weU as let¬ ters addressed to any of 63 million persons m Mexico and Canada," he added, "this still remains as one of the biggest bargains on earth."
The 20 per cent raise in first- dass letter rates, efiective this coming Sunday, is a smaller per¬ centage raise than that imposed on other types of mail.
He pointed ait tfaat there has been a 24 per cent raise m the rates for mailing new^iapers and m^azines and a 34 per cent hike in tlie charges for advertisii^ circu- brs, "oocupairt" ma& and other bcdk third-dass mail items.

If the first-class mail piece weighs more than 13 ounces, it will go auf o- matically by the fastest transporta¬ tion available — meaning air serv¬ ice usually.
"Heavier first-dass pieces, above 13 ounces, will be merged with air parcel post under a single rate scbedule," he said, "and aH air mail above 7 ounces also will be sublect to the air parcel post rate sched¬ ule."
The postmaster assured local resi- detfts plraty of one-cent stamps are on band for ose with any existing stodEs of 5-c«it stamps they may have on band.
There are also adequate supplies ot s-cent stamps to meet the new fmrt^lass letter rate available at tfae post office, he said.
