Help us assure affordable
New postal regulations have
required that The Dallas Post re-
view all subscriber addresses for
accuracy in order to earn the low-
est possible postage rate. This is a
complex process that includes
matching addresses against the
Post Office's master address files,
converting all addresses to Zip+4
(and in many cases Zip+7) and
correcting any errors.
Correct addressing is critical in
two ways. First, to assure timely
delivery, and second, to keep sub-
scription prices down by earning
the lowest possible postage rate.
We need your help so that we can
satisfy the requirements set by
revised postal rules.
The matches must be perfect; if
a street name is misspelled in any
way, or is identified as “Rd.” in-
stead of “Ave.,” for example, the
address may be thrown out of the
correct delivery sequence. So, we
need the assistance of all sub-
scribers in order to be completely
accurate. Here's how you can help:
* Please check your address
label, to see that it matches your
mailing address. In most cases,
that should be a street number
and name, not a rural route box
number. If you pick up your mail
| timely, subscription delivery
at a post office, we need to po

address. :
« If you think the address we've
assigned is not correct, please fill
out and send in the coupon be-.
low, or call the office at 675-5211’
to telllus. We will investigate with
the local post office and our sys-
tem vendor to correct any errors:
Please give us your phone num-
ber so that we can call you if we:
have any questions.
e If your paper arrives late, let
us know. Within the Back Moun-
tain and most of Luzerne County,
newspapers should be delivered.
with your Wednesday mail. If your
paper is arriving late, it may be
because it has been assigned to
the wrong postal carrier route in
the wrong delivery bundle.
No system is perfect. Some.
streets don’t appear in the Post
Office’s master files or are identi-
fied improperly, and we are work-
ing with postal officials to correct’
those records. Your assistance in’
this process will be invaluable.
If you have any questions,
please call our office at 675-5211.

I need to apply for a mortgage?

For example, Franklin First will
ask for 5% down if the customer is
purchasing a new home. We will ask
for 10% if you are building. If you are
buying an investment LY operty; the
minimum would be 20%.

month.

Q: How do you differentiate
between hayfever allergies and
sinus infection?
A: Runny nose, coughing and
sneezing are common
components to these illnesses. A
cold usually starts with a clear
nasal drainage and a scratchy
throat. Over the next week it
progresses through a stage of
nasal congestion and thicker Diane A. Lowe, M.D.
drainage. It should clear without any treatment in 7-10
days. Allergiesinvolve clear nasal drainage and may also
include itchy and watery eyes and wheezing. They do not
change over the course of time, except to become better or
worse. Either allergies or colds may progress to a sinus
infection. When this occurs, the nasal drainage will
remain for a prolonged period. Headaches around the
eyesare prominent. Theremaybeafever. Sinusinfections
require antibiotic treatment, so see your doctor if you
suspect one.

Q: Why pay on time?? How much time is
needed to get my payment recorded?
A: Paying on time means mailing your
payment 5 to 7 days before the due date. It
takes that long to get to the insurance
company through the mail, then it must be
recorded and processed, and entered into
our computer system to stop those late
reminder notices from going out. Many times
as your payment is being processed, those
late notices are automatically being sent out

COUNSELING
Q: What aresome warningsigns that ateenager
may be depressed or suicidal?
A:No on sign in isolation indicates depression
or suicidal intent, but some things to look for
include a change in normal eating or sleeping
patterns, a deterioration in grooming habits,
or increasing social withdrawal. Suicidal
teenagers often overtly threaten to harm
themselves, talk about feeling hopeless and
trapped, and give away prized possessions. If
you are worried that a teenager might be
seriously depressed or at risk for suicide, they
should see a mental health professional for an
evaluation.
