P. O. Restores Parcel
Deliveries To Days
Postmaster Leo J . Morgan this
week announced that parcel post
deliveries in Farmingdale, will
be expanded from five to six
days a week as of Monday, July
24.
The boundaries of the expanded
service will include all the routes
served out of the South Farming-dale
Branch post office. - The
area comprises streets south
of the railroad tracks in South
Farmingdale, east of M e r r i t t
Road and north of Southern State
Parkway.
The reinstated service is in
line with a recent directive as a
result of legislation for restoration
of the six- day a week delivery
which had been cut back
in May, 1964, as an economy
measure.
The Farmingdale postal official
noted that the improved
service will remove ' an inequity'
for many business and residential
routes.
Postal customers served by
' motorized' letter carriers have
always been receiving six- day
deliveries. These routes are
served out of the main office.
They were not covered by the
1964 cut back inasmuch as carriers
on vehicles can deliver par-cles
of any size. Customers
living on routes serviced by foot
carriers have received larger
parcels from a five- day a week
parcel post route covered by a
truck. Carriers on foot only
deliver small packages.

Engineers atFairchildHiller's
Republic Aviation Division have
begun four federal automotive
studies that are being financed by
$ 191,600 in government contracts.
The contracts for the studies
were recently granted by the United
States Department of Transportation,
and call for an examination
of automotive seat and
occupant restraint standards,
fuel tank protective devices, occupant
protection in automobile
interiors and crash worthiness
of vehicle structures. The first
three studies will last three months
while the crash worthiness
examination will take six months
to complete. At the conclusion
of each of the investigations, the
Republic Aviation Division will
provide the federal agency with
the study result so that national
automobile safety standards can be
formulated. George Hildebrand,
Republic's Car Safety Program
Manager, said that the results
" could serve as the ground work
for the federal development of an
experimental safety car." The
Republic Aviation Division is
presently designing a safety car
for New York State.
