Compress files as per timestamp in multiple subdirectories

I'd really appreciate if anyone could assist me with this code

A directory with multiple subdirectories has multiple files which are timestamp'ed.

We need to
- compress files as per timestamp
- save compressed file/s in the respective folder
- delete the source files

============
Current output
===========
Example : -
john (directory)
=============
1.xml oct 21 2010
2.xml oct 22 2010
3.xml oct 22 2010
4.xml oct 24 2010

sam (sub -directory)
===============
41.xml oct 22 2010
45.xml oct 21 2010
23.xml oct 23 2010
14.xml oct 24 2010
11.xml oct 24 2010

test (sub -directory)
================
91.xml oct 23 2010
14.xml oct 25 2010
15.xml oct 24 2010
18.xml oct 25 2010

===============
Required output
===============
john(directory)
===============
oct 21 2010.gz #(one file)
oct 22 2010.gz #(two file)
oct 24 2010.gz #(one file)

sam (sub -directory)
======================
oct 22 2010.gz #(one file)
oct 21 2010.gz #(one file)
oct 23 2010.gz #(one file)
oct 24 2010.gz #(two file)

test (sub -directory)
=====================
oct 23 2010.gz #(one file)
oct 25 2010.gz #(two file)
oct 24 2010.gz #(one file)

I managed
find ${MAIN_DIR} -mtime +7 -exec gzip -1 {} \;

Correct me if it needs any changes and Thanks in Advance.
