MACHINE COU AND STANPSALL OSHAWA LETTERS Nearly Ten Million En- velopes Tabulated at Post Office in Three Years The electrical machine for count- fog and marking incoming mail at the local post office is one of the most up-to-date appliances yet in- vented for post office use. Dur- ing the time which this machine has been in use here, a period of three years, more than 9,935,800 letters have been stam and counted automatically. Of course there are mapy more which are either too large or too small to go through the machine and 8s a re- sult have to be stamped by hand There ane numerous parcels besides, ot Mail An increase of mail going out from, and coming into, the local office has been noted.

The Bible says "O give thanks un- to the Lord; for he is good; and his mercy endureth for ever" . . Thanksgiving Day is our annual time for saying grace at the table of eternal gooducts And while, with' Kipling we fer- vently pray :-- Lord of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget. Also let us not fprget to be thank- ful for what we've managed, to pull to ourselves from the rest of the grabbing world--Its 'been a great life and we should be thankful we haven't weakened.

Sise, President of the Bell Telephone Company, is sending a personal letter to all tel- ephone users, announcing a series of informative advertisements, the first of which will apepar in The Times next week. H. M. Black, manager of the company in Oshawa explained this morning to the "Times" that the purpose of the new advertisement is to assist in a better acquaintance between the public and the tele- phone system. "We think we ought to be well acquainted," Mr. Black said, "be- cause the telephone and the pub- lic are closely related and have mutual interests. On one hand we have the telephone company which consists of over 14,400 shareholders, of whom 95 per cent. live in Canada. On the other hand, is the telephone system which is really a great co-operative body of people who talk with each oth- er through more than 700,000 telepones, "I think most of us accept the telephone nowadays pretty much as a matter of course, We seldom think of the 15,000 trained men and women and the work they do behind the scenes. These are the things we woud like to have under? stood and we know of no better way to tell the story than through the newspapers," Explaining System The text of Mr. Sise's letter to telephone subscribers is as fol- lows: "In next week's newspapers you may see an advertisement entitled "He Works with Magic." "It tells about putting a tele- phone line through new country and is the first of a number of ad- vertisements in which we shall try to tell you something of the tele- phone business and the people in it. "We are doing this because we have found that the workings of the telephone system are not well understood, We think this is not a good situation, either for you or for us, because the telephone sys- tem and the public have a mutual dependence on each other and are squally concetned in the growth of the country, "As the advertisements continue we shall also deal with certain subjects of particular public in- terest, including the financial rec- ord and policy of our Company, its relationship with the Northern Electric Company, its relationship with the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, "I'am writing you in the hope that because you are in dally con- tact with the telephone system, you will be interested in reading our advertisements," ARMORED RUM SHIP I SEIZED BY CUSTOMS, PT, HOPE Former Russian Sub Chaser I'$:ld When Crew Fails to Respond Port Hope, Nov 10,--The Uncus, sald to be the speediest rum-run- ner in gperation on the Great Lakes, has been seized by customs officials and is lylng in harbor here, The Uncus, which has been seized by customs officials and is lying in harbor here, The Uncus, which has been running * out of Port Hope harbor for the last six months, cleared for the United States over the week-end and re- turned to Port Hope Sunday, The crew failed to report the return to the local customs authorities, as they are required to do under cus- toms regulations, J.
