Jamie Farr (Jameel Joseph Farah)
Farr played the role of cross-dressing Corporal Klinger on CBS-TV’s
M*A*S*H (1972-1983). He was born in Toledo, Ohio where his first role
won him two dollars in a acting contest at age 11. Farr’s first film roles
were in 1955 in Blackboard Jungle (billed as Jameel Farah) and as a
fruit vendor in Kismet (un-credited). After this, he joined the United
States Army for two years, with service in Japan and Korea

FIRST ZIP CODE ION THIS DAY IN 1963
The postmaster of the United States Postal Service introduced the five-digit ZIP
code. The term is an acronym for Zoning Improvement Plan. Robert Moon, an
employee of the post office, is considered to be the father of the ZIP code. He
submitted his proposal in 1944 for the initial three-digit code while working as
a postal inspector.
