Canadians, tbe flow of food parcels ta austerit.y-bamper- ed Britain-bas undergone a "ter- rifie upsurge" and is nearing war- time beights, Post Office Depart- ment afficials said this week. Whîle total figures are not avail- able, the weight ai food and ather pameels shipped s0 far this year bas outstripped the 1946 figures o! 15,- 000,000 paunds, and the depart- ment is expecting further increas- es. The 1946 figure was itself a sharp increase over. normal busi- ness in pre-war years. Representations were m ad e some time aga ta the United King- dam for a futher reduction in parcel post rates, an official said. The British Government, however, cauld nat see its way clear to make eductians because it felt this wauid be subskcizing postage for the piviieged few wha receive parceis. Postal authorities hemc said that the next move is up tc the United Kingdam. Questioned egading a campari- son between present total busi- ness and the bulk business in war- time, the official said it was not possible ta make such compari- sans. This is due ta the fact thai all pameels sent ta traaps overseas during the Second Womid War were handled by the Canadiar Postal Corps-a military organiza- tion-while civilian packages were carried by the civil departrnent. The latest statistics show, baw- ever, that during the year 1944- the last full yeam ai shiprnents to servicemen overseas - the Cana- dian Postal Corps handled the re- cord volume of over 58,500,000 let- ters. More than 10,500,000 par. cels were sent the traaps in that year alang with 1,400,000 pounds of news. Regarding present rates, as com- pared with those of the last few years, there bas been an appre- ciable reduction ini parcel pasi charges fram Canada ta the Unit- ed Kingdorn. The pevîous rate up ta Jan. i, 1947, was 24 cents 'for the first Latest word frorn Gardon and Fred Youngman and Steve Nim- igon is that tbey bave steady work in Deibaurne, Alta., vicinity, are well and enjoying lufe.

After that, Up ta 10 pounds, the charge was 18-cents. 1From 10 ta 15 pounds the rate had been $2.50 per parcel and from 15 ta 20 pounds, $3.00 a parcel. Present parcel post rates are 25 cents for the first pound with a 15 cent rise up ta fine pounds. The lth pound costs an addition- ai five cents. Thus, for a 10- pound parcel the shipper pays $1.50. On parcels over 10 pounds and up ta 15 pounds the cosit now is $2.00. Over 15 pounds and up to- 20 pounds, the rate has been re- duced ta $2.50.

Mr. and Mrs. Herb Nichais, wbo were residents here before pur- chasing a farm at Providence, bave now sold their farm and will have a sale in September.

Esli Oke bas disposed of bis farm ta Mr. Rocko, and wili move into the James Courtice bouse. This praperty bas been in the Oke family for many years, as bis father eut and made ready the lumber for the buildings. Mr. Rocko is alsa the owner af the farrn, which Blake Oke sold sorne nine years aga. The Courtice farm, which was recently sold by L. J. Courtice, will also came y nder a new narne. The Cour- fice and Oke families bave lived side by sîde for a great many years. Fathers, then handing down ta sons, and naw, really quite a change, as these new people take over. Change in Banklng Hours on Saturdays Notices are being displayed at the local banks annauncing a change in banking bours oni Sat- urday marnings, and customers are requested ta do their business from 9 ta il o'ciock instead. of from 9:30 ta faon, as farmerly. The change becomes effective this Saturday. Briefly, the idea bebind the change is ta give the bank's staff a better break an their weekend tirne. The aid idea that bankers worked from anly 10 ta 3-'ta the envy of most peaple-has long been exploded. This was neyer true, for rnuch remains for the banker ta do after bis doors are closed. With the great burden of work an banking personnel, whicb de- veloped during the war and which bas carried into the peace, it bas been necessary for bank staffs to wark much avertime for a nurn- ber of years. It is frequently the case on Satu»days, with the tradi- tional public clasing at noon, for the staff ta be obliged ta work on until anywhere from 1 ta 3 p.n-,, which, to say the least, goes bard an plans for a Saturday after- faon outing or a weekend's fish- Communiiy Sale Obituary For Courfice Church JOHN ARMSTR:ON~Gams Realized Nearly $300 thre onths, John Armstrong passed away in.Part- Perry Hospi- The community sale in aid of tai, July lO0th, in bis 8&th year.
