August 26 1965 NEW SURFACE POSTAGE RATES TO OTHER COUNTRIES The Hon.Rene Tremblay, Postmaster General, an- nounced today several changes in postage rates to other countries effective Jan.|, 1966, to coincide with the coming into force of the Universal Postal Convention adopted at the last Congress of the Uni- versal Postal Union. An increase in these rates to certain countries is necessary at this time in order to compensate for ad- ditional transportation charges and mail handling costs in the international services. A substantial increase in these charges goes into effect on Jan. Ist. There will be no change in the rates on letters and postcards to the United States, its territories and possessions, other countries of North, Central and South America, the West Indies, Great Bri tain and the Commonwealth, Republic of Ireland, France and Spain. To all other countries, letters sent by surface means will be subject to a new rate of 10 cents for the first ounce and 6 cents for each addi- tional ounce or fraction thereof. The rate for post- cards will be 6 cents each. New rates are set for printed matter and samples and, in addition, surface parcel post rates undergo an adjustment and a significant change in structure as outlined by the Postmaster General. After Jan. |, 1966, the new rates, with the exception of those to the United States, its territories and possessions which remain unchanged, will apply to three dis- tinct zones rather than to individual countries. Great Britain and countries in the Americas, ex- cluding the U.S.A. will comprise Zone |; Europe and Africa will constitute Zone 2 while Oceania, including Australia and New Zealand and Asia will make up Zone 3. Parcel post weight restrictions will also be changed so that the maximum weight of parcels will be 22 pounds to those countries where the previous limit was 20 pounds. Plans are underway for a new uniform air postcard rate of 10 cents each to all countries which will also become effective on Jan.Ist. At the present time postcards sent by air have to be prepaid at the regula air mail letter rate. For example, a postcard to Australia or Japan which now requires 25 cents in postage will only be 10 cents. He emphasized that the present 8 cent air mail rate for cards to the U.S. and its possessions will continue. The Lands & Forests Department's hatchery at Dorion set a new record this year by planting 250 thousand brook trout by Beaver aircraft, stocking . more than 100 district lakes in four days. These lakes were too small for landing and were inacces- sible by road.
