OSHAWA, SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1922 HOSMAWA'S MALL SERVICE Busines firms and others who depend more or less on postal serv- ice will readily agree that the facil- ities for despatching 'mail to Toronto and 'other points west are anything but satisfactory, There are four mail trains which carry mail' from Toronto 'to 'Oshawa and 'these all'leave the city and ar- rive here at times that give real service, But there are only three mails despatched from here to To- ronto and only one of these is of any practical use. For example, under the present arrangement, a letter posted at the Oshawa Post Office after 9 o'clock in the evening will not be delivered in Toronto In the regular way until at least thirty-six hours later. In other words a letter posted at 9 p. m. 'Monday will not be delivered in Toronto until Wednesday morn- ing. This is hardly what one might call a good service. What Is needed is a late night mail that would be despatched on train No. 19, which is the Montreal to Torento night mail train, and leaves Oshawa daily at 4.44 a. m,, arriving in Toronto about 6.30 a. m. This would permit delivery anywhere in Toronto the same day. An equal- ly important need is a mail closing at the Post Office around 9.156 a. m, for despatch on train No. 29, which leaves daily at 10.17. This ts a matter which the Town Council and the citizens generally might well take action upon. If this were done in the proper way there should be na donbt of the result as the present service is indefensible. GETTING MORE SPEED It is a most significant thing that not a single passenger was either killed or seriously injured from the operation of civilian airplane serv- ice in England last year, says the Ot- tawa Journal, although there has been one collision, with consequent loss "of lives, this year. Between 400 and 500 people crossed the Chan- nel each week last year and more than double that number were taken upon joy rides. - In fact, the business of «tr ting peopl between London and Paris Is now on a def- inite commercial basis, and is exhib- iting 'an rging re of growth. The charge In the best eguippéd airplanes has ben about $20 for the trip. This, of course, is above the combined rail and steam- ship 'fare, but it has recently been reported a cut in the rate would be made to induce a greater use of the air route. Having regard to the number of people involved, railway travel is still fairly safe. Im 1920, in the United States, only one passenger in every 5,763,000 was killed, and we did nearly as well fin Canada. There was a time when the propor- tion of casualties was much 'high- er, which goes to show that the transportation of human beings, with relative safety, is rapidly approach- ing perfection. The world soon will be divided betwen those who want to travel faster and those who want to travel slower. * The "fasters" will win out. It is in keeping with the modern tendency in all things to accelerate the pace. Within the memory of many now living it was impractic- sable for ome living in Toronte to either communicate with Montreal, or go there and return, within less than two weeks of time. Today it is easily possible to accomplish the communication in a few minutes of time, and the journey may be made in perefect comfort in 20 hours. Just what we gain, in the final reckoning, by this high speed, is open to debate. It is a law of phy- sics that the p -r must be facréased to gain fn speed, other things being equal, and it may be that as we add to the pace in lite we make sacrifices on the side of en- dufsnfe.

It isn't always because people have too much of their own society that they give themselves away, Just because tomorrow never comes is no reason why you should spend all your life looking behind you, Evangeline Booth remarked re- cently, "To me the most significant result of Prohibition is that, in the future, we shall have less to do with the grave and more with the cradle." Evidently the Park Board's talk of providing decent lavatory accom- modation at Alexandra Park this year was intended as camouflage, Certainly the action which should accompany such talk has been con- Bpicuous by its absence. - BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY THE WAY TO PEACE:-- Ac- quaint now. thyself with him, and be at' peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.--Jobh 22; 21.

"Tis a fearful thing in winter To be shattered in the blast, And to hear the rattling trumpet Thunder: "Cut away the mast!"

In The Reformer of some weeks ago we read an account of the sales of property in the cen- tre of the town at fabulous prices, 2nd the amount of the assessments on those properties stated also. We rather think the Assessor must have felt a little shy when he read the statements and that he would be act- ing justly to the rest of the town to raise all the central properties two fold or more instead of boosting up the workingman's assessment.
