Cote unveils govts new postal code system in Canada
Ottawa Postmaster General Jean Pierre Cote unveiled a 70 million dollar postal code plan to be a permanent feature by 1974. The alphanumeric six character codes, starting in Ottawa April 1, will aid sortation and could reduce handling of mail from about 21 times to three or four, with 75 percent automation once fully implemented. The program covers major cities first, with phased national rollout through 1973, adding address books and street directories for each coded area.

William C. Heine, former Ryerson Press chairman, says the United Church of Canada chose money over principle in selling Ryerson Press to McGraw-Hill Canada. Heine argues Canadian ownership must be protected with content laws and that textbooks are key to sustaining Canadian publishers.
