Anaheim Named For Mail Plan The Post Office Department has named Anaheim one of 300 participating cities in its "Nationwide Improved Mail Service" program to speed mail deliveries, Post Marshall N. McFie announced today. Postmaster McFie said he plans to organize an "Anaheim area mailers council," to put the program into effect. It is composed of leading business and industrial mailers to help put the new program into effect this summer, Postmaster McFie added. CRASH PERIOD The program will remove much of non-priority mail from the local post office during the "crash" period after 5 p.m. The first large-scale program of its kind, the "NIMS" plan will be a massive cooperative effort with large commercial mailers—who send the bulk of the first class mail here—to hold non-priority mail over until the next morning. This is... The first large-scale program of its kind, the "NIMS" plan will be a massive cooperative effort with large commercial mailers—who send the bulk of the first class mail here—to hold non-priority mail over until the next morning. This includes bills, insurance premium notices, solicitations, statements, etc. With the late evening glut of non-priority mail removed, priority mail can be handled and dispatched faster at the local post office. Pilot tests indicate day-sooner deliveries to many out-of-town points that had only second-day delivery before. The local postmaster expects the plan to begin to show results this summer and to show further improvements thereafter. He explained, approximately 80 per cent of the national mail volume of 65 billion pieces annually—or more than 50 billion pieces—is "dumped" on the local office and other post offices after the close of the normal business day at 5 p.m. Preliminary tests indicate about half of this—perhaps up to 25 billion pieces or more nationally—is non-priority mail that can be deposited the next morning.
