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to what the big post of fices in the city do But the if they had failed to sign a contract with Canada Post would have been replaced by a new postal system in the village Postmistress Marilyn Hughes scheduled to retire June took an early leave for health reasons Canada Post has closed of the 5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 Canada Post con tract November because it wasn t paying enough They bought their store the very same day we did in 1988 said Mr Rombough but we turn the Canada Post offer down It was too low Canada Posts latest offer leaves the satisfied said Mr Rombough But he feels the se cond time around the crown cor learned a lesson about contract payment Canada Post has certainly changed the way they re

had been negotiating for five weeks before the contract was agreed upon Tuesday morning Mr said he had told Canada Post what he wanted and it was back in their court There will be a 90day sub contract at Terra Cotta until things are set up said Mr Rom bough But the people in Terra Cotta can breathe easier know there is a contract he said The contract date will be effec June the day Mrs Hughes is 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 has been accepted If there is a request for locked postal boxes its not something generated from the com mumty she said A DENOMINATIONAL ALL PEOPLES CHURCH DELIVERANCE CENTRE Boulevard Bramafea corner
