8 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, Wednesday, November 17,1993 Section Two A Weekly Report from the Village of Newcastle Editors: Jack and Hazel Crago - 987-4201 About January, 1991, Newcastle Village residents were informed by Canada Post dial they were recipients of improved mail delivery. I quote from a letter received about that time "Community Mail Boxes arc a contemporary contemporary mode of delivery that address address today's changing lifestyles and today's economic realities." We translate that sentence that today's today's delivery is as confusing as today's today's lifestyles and depression. Ever since its inception, we have received another person's mail, even though die postal codes are different for each set of boxes. Last Monday's mail was a true surprise. surprise. IGA flyer for die previous week, Canadian Tire flyer for die previous previous week, two old Gazette papers and a piece of mail which said Photo Do Not Bend, which belonged to our counterpart (which we delivered because because we didn't want to bend it to put it in the return slot), along with some odicr flyers which we've forgotten. But, most were too old to be of any value to recipients. Maybe this mode of delivery does address today's economic economic realities. No one can spend the money on goods advertised in flyers dtat are obsolete! Is diis improved mail delivery? On Saturday, November 13, at Newcastle United Church, Rev.
