Harris met with a ser- ious accident last week. Wishing to secure some playthings for her grand- children, she climbed up into the up- per part of the garage. It so hap- pened that the floor of this garage attic was merely the ceiling of the garage. Of this Mrs. Harris was not aware. As a result the unfortunate lady broke through this floor and in her fall suffered an impacted fracture -of the hip. There is a general expression of re- gret because of this accident; and it will be pleasing to Mrs. Harris' many friends to know that she is now do- ing as well as can be expected.

Garnet Weir, Leo Smith, Bob Ewers, Don Wauchope, and Harold Hood. The display was ex- cellent and the boys enjoyed the whole affair thoroughly. IN MEMORIAM SISSON--In loving memory of my wife, Sarah Margaret Skinner, who passed away Sept. 5th, 1937. One year has passed since that sad day; The one I loved was called away.

RURAL MAIL CARRIERS PLEDGE SELVES TO FIGHT THE CON- TRACT SYSTEM Want to Remove Mail Carriers from t'olitical Basis and Organize to put Job on Paying Scale, President states (Oshawa Daily Times) Pledged to fight the existing con- tract system and remove rural mail carrying from a political basis, over 100 delegates to the Dominion conven- tion of the Rural Mail Couriers Asso- ciation of Canada assembled in Whit- by, Canada's rural mail couriers signi- fied their appreciation of the hospital- ity extended to them at Whitby last year when they unanimously chose Whitby for the scene of their second annual convention, and Mayor Fred T. Rowe refererd to this in his official address of welcome, Over one hundred delegates were in attendance from points as far apart as Winnipeg and Nova Scotia, and en- couraging reports of organization in new districts were reported at the afternoon session, when the Conven- tion got under way. "We feel you have done us an honor in returning to Whitby again", Mayor Rowe told the delegates. "I believe the cause for which you are meeting is a worthy one, and I think you are following the right lines to attain your objective," His Worship added. Fight for Better Pay. "We are organized for the purpose of putting rural mail carrying on a decent paying scale," stated P. B. Lowry, of Rodney, Dominion President of the Association. "Last year for a regular twenty-five mile route the average wage was fifteen cents a day, allowing the carrier seven cents a mile for the use of his vehicle," he added. Splendid support from outside groups to the Association plans and aims, was revealed by the secretary's report. A petition outlining griev- ances and asking certain concessions had been sent to the Postmaster--Gen- eral, but no reply had been received, it was learned. Individual copies of this petition are to be sent to all mémbers of the Dominion parliament. The following is the text of the As: sociation's petition, which outlines (continued on column four.)
