post offices offer a up que turn to what the big post of fices in the city do But the if they had failed to sign a contract with Canada Post would have been replaced by a new postal system in the village Postmistress Marilyn Hughes scheduled to retire June took an early leave for health reasons Canada Post has closed of the 5 rural post offices across the country and has converted 240 of those into retail postal outlets A death of a postmaster or a retire ment is considered a natural op portunity to replace the rural postal system with a retail con tract with Canada Post Mr is sympathetic with the Gaskill Cadwalladers who purchased the General Store last year and signed a contract with Canada Post to continue a 131 year postal tradition in that community The couple opted out of the

scheduled to retire Local residents in Terra will meet with Canada Post tonight Wednesday to discuss the details of continued postal service They will have the option of using locked boxes or continuing to use the mall slots provided the general store Residents unsure of what direc tion the contract offer with Terra Cotta would take said Monday they would try to form a public meeting tonight to tell Canada Post what service they wanted in their village But local resident Barb Calloway said Tuesday there is really no reason for residents to attend the meeting if the contract offer
