mmm mm ^^^ppiiiiipiipipiiipipi^^ WEDNESDAY, JULY 13. 1927 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE THE STORY OF THE POSTMAN Fow Canadians realize the drama- tic story behind the man in the blue who drops the mail at the door or who drives through the storm on Hta Majesty's buainess in rural routes. It is the story of a fcreat but friend- ly monoply with none of the sinister implications usually associated with that world. Somehow everyone has a friendly feeling towards the pc^tal service, but few are aware of the first-rate brains and energy that have been required to build up the great speedy postal service of Canada. At the time of Confederation there were 3,400 post offices in the Domin- ion, and mails were carried on some 2,278 miles of railway. Today there are nearly 13,000 post offices in Can- ada, and 37,000 miles of railway used for the transmission of mails. On July 1, 1867, there were six post of- fices between the Great Lakes and the Rocky Mountains whereas there are now more than 3,000 irt the same territory. • Just prior to Confederation the pre- paid letter rate in Canadian provinces was five cents per half-ounce, and letters delivered by a carrier cost two cents in addition to the postage. The rate on letters from Cnnada to Great' Britain was 12Vi cents per half ounce. All this should be remembered when it is considered that a full ounce can be sent anywhere within Canada or the United .States for two cents and within the British Empire today for three centa. Dundaltc Won IN.SPECTOR BECKETT GETS PROMOTION Mr. Mathew C. Beckett, who for the past 22 years has been License Inspector for Grey Bruce and other Counties in Ontario, and who, when the new Liquor Control Act came in- ' errors to force this month was automatically i when they scored five more runs mak- removed from office, has received a ing their total count at the end of If several "if's" had remained at home on Thursday afternoon of last week, when Dundalk ball team played League game here, Fle.sherton would have won the game, but as it was the "if's" were there and they lost to Dundalk 8-7 in an interesting contest. Morrison, the young pitcher for the local team, had Dundalk eating out of his hand for six innings and in the 7th he weakened to some extent and two runs were scored. The hectic eighth inning recorded Morrison al- lovdng two walks, three hits and two Dundalk went into the lead promotion. He received full instruc- tions from Toronto on Wednesday and for the next two or three days will be busy familiarizing himself with them. He knows that his title in the future will be that of General Inspector, and that he will have as his territory the counties of Bruce, Grey, Dufferin, Simcoe, Mira- koka and Parry Sound, which covers quite a wide area, and he enters up- on the performance of his new duties at once.

Thompson pitched the whole game for Dundalk and after the first inning when he walked the first two men up he pitch- ed fairly good ball. Where some of the ''if's'' come in was in the eighth inning for Flesher- ton when Sparks hit a liner to the pitcher who threw to first and got him, while Muir was at third base. Muir at once sped for the home plate and made a beautiful slide, beating the ball from first nicely. The umpire called out when he claimed that Sparks had interferred with the throw home by the first baseman. However Muir was allowed to go l}ack to third when a protest was made and Morrison grounded out right after for the third out. Another "if" was in the last inning when a hard hit ball travelled like a bullet directly at Muir when two men were down and the ball was dropped, the runner who was at third scoring for the winning run. It was a hard one on Archie as other- wise he played an excellent game, having secured three hits at five times to bat, but was unfortunate in not being brought home when a hit would have counted most. Buchanan had a perfect day in the field when he accepted three chances, making a double play on one of his catches. Dow caught three Dundalk men napping at 2nd base on too long a lead off, batted five hundred on the day's play and scored two of the seven runs. Ken Boyd was absent in Toronto and Ted McDonald played a nice game at first, also at bat when he secured two hits in four trips to the plate and scored one run, being left on second once. Thurston scored two runs and secured one hit in four times to bat. Amos Bowles at third and Ken Betts, catcher, each counted one run to make the tot.il runs 7. i Two Scotchmen went fishing, after It was Fleshertons ac^ona defeat Rrstci-iK that the one who caught the but the boys promise to do better in '""â-  ' ^'^-^ would have to pay for the the next game to be played here witii Ijoat.

Smith and Ellis pitched for Kimberley while M. Thompson went the route for Dundalk. The defeat of the valley outfit was not expected, so a tight race for the League championship is expected,, as Flesherton 'is not down and out yet by any means, even though they have lost their two games. The schedule is a double affair and each team has four home games to play, so interest in the League is sure to mount up as the season advances. FARM STOCK, IMPLEMENTS, HAY AND GRAIN, ETC. THOS. C.
