1.

2. The geographical division for the area zone designations will be as follows.  The main post office in the following cities: Camarillo, Oxnard, Santa Paula, Ventura, and Oak View shall be basing points.  All work in excess of thirty-two (32) road miles from the basing points shall be zone B.  All work less than thirty-two (32) road miles from the nearest basing point shall be zone A.  An applicant will be allowed to take calls in either zone A or zone B but will receive turndowns only for work within his designated zone.  Each applicant will be allowed two turndowns; the third turndown will result in the applicant being completely removed from the book.  The applicant must sign again in person after being rolled off.  Applicants who do not designate zone A or B will be considered registered for zone B. Rejection of the applicant by an employer will not be considered a turndown. Applicants will be charged a maximum of one turndown per day.
