cornet post office asks cooperation as an added service to jhe public the local post office last week inaugurated a new system of having wickets open at all times in the past there has been congestion in the post office while the wickets were closed for mail sort ing particularly for the 1 0 30 mall m the morning and the new system aims at avoiding unnecessary de lays for citizens who get their mail at the wicket or who have other business to do such as getting parcels money orders registered letters etc in return the indulgence of the public is asked in- transacting only necessary business during sorting time in order that this work may not be delayed i old order changeth personally we are sorry to see the new system come into effect and we imagine that others will note the change with a sigh for the good old days as a child in our home town we remember what a thrill there was to waiting for the wickets to open there was fascination in watching letters and newspapers and circulars pop into their glass fronted compartments each one giving a familiar ping as it hit the door of the box when the papers started appearing in the boxes we knew that opening time was only a matter of minutes then as the frosted glass coermg on the wickets slid aside there was a surge forward as the waiting crowd lined up for their morning s mail the older folks too will regret the passing of the former system the post office has always been a meeting place where the news of the district is gar nered each morning well in advance of formal pubh cation in the local news sheet and we dare say hat many a business transaction had its birth in the morn mg wait for the mail since the death of the general store with its pot bellied s ove and waiting chairs for the regulars the post office has been the last link with the past as a meeting place and gossip centre the old order changeth yielding place to new still another sign a significant change in newspapers during the past decade has been the amalgamations which are tak ing place among bdth weeklies and dailies recently we note that peter ramage has sold out the durham review to frank erwin publisher of the durham chronicle and henceforth there will be only one news paper issued in that town this is characteristic of what has been happen ing in other towns in ontario time was when almost every town over 1 000 population had two newspapers one supporting the government one upholding the opposition party how they both eked out an existence is somewhat of a mystery in durham whose popula rtion numbers only 1750 we imagine that the two scribes had a hard enough time making ends meet and the amalgamation was more or less forced on them for financial reasons an indication of changing times is seen in mr irwin s announcement that in becoming the only newspaper in durham the chronicle is no longer the political mouthpiece of any party neither do we in tend to remain neutral we believe it is our duty to support good legislation and criticize what we think is not m the interests of the community or the country as a whole like to be on rations mr john evans gave us this clipping from an english newspaper listing the number of coupons needed to purchase various articles of clothing it is interesting to add up the clothing we normally wear in a year and see if we could get by on the 66 coupons a year allowed to each person on a rough estimate of our own average cloth ing purchases we figured we would use about 1 25 cou pons in a year almost twice the number allotted to a man in england petticoat or alip or
