Post Office Dept., Ottawa) Rev. and Mrs. J. A. Shantz Moving to Stayner, Ontario On July 17 1960, Rev. J. Allan Shantz preached his first sermon in the Colborne United Missionary Church. Rev. Shantz came here from Kitchener where he graduated from Emmanuel Bible College, 1960, with a Bachelor of Theology degree. For many people in the village Rev. Shantz was somewhat of a surprise. He might have happened to your home as a brush salesman, plumber, repairman or a minister interested in the peace and happiness of all mankind. When coming to Colborne and finding it necessary to obtain secular employment he readily adapted himself to various occupations before returning to his old employment of sales clerk and manager of a Canadian Tire Store in Cobourg. Even though time has been divided between church and work in secular employment much has been accomplished for the ad- t of the Church where he was pastor. During Rev. Shantz's ministry here the complete interior of the church building has been completely renovated. The church's yearly offerings doubled during the five years of his ministry. Rev. and Mrs. Shantz and their three children, two of whom know no home but Colborne, Beccy, Collette, Gregory _ will be at home to their many friends and parishioners, on Saturday, June 26 at 2.00 - 5.00 p.m., and 7.00 - 9'.00 p.m., in the evening. They will appreciate meeting their many friends at this til The Shantz's will move to Stayner Ontario, in mid July to take up their pastoral duties there. | The congregation is at present completing negotiations for their new pastor, and it is expected that plans will be completed in the immediate future. The new incumbent will be fully supported by the local church. WASYLYK -- HAMILTON At the United Church, Co borne, June 19lh, Rev. R. \..

CANADIAN POSTMEN MAY LAUNCH "WORK TO RULE" PROGRAM If postmen across Canada do not receive an adequate pay increase, they may he advised by their national executive to launch a "work to rule' gram. Jack Cooper, President of the Federated Association of Letter Carriers said "letter carriers salaries are far out of tune with the times." He said a meeting of the executive has been called for June 21 and 22 in Ottawa to decide if a vote should he taken among the 7,648 members across the country instituting a "work to rule" program if wages are not brought into line with the rising cost of living and working conditions improved. Mr. Cooper said he felt "drastic action" would have to be taken because a letter carrier with two children and 35 years experience is taking home only $300.00 a month after deductions. Because of the inability of the post office to attract and keep , letter carriers up to 55 ATTENTION!

Guest your telephone manager BIRDS PLUS CIGARETTES EQUALS FIRE An interesting speculation as to the cause of a recent fire in Cowansville, Quebec has been passed along to me by a telephone man on the scene during and after the blaze, which gutted a 150-year-old home formerly known as a "halfway house" on the way from Montreal to the U.S. border. Starlings are suspected of carrying a lighted cigarette butt to their nest in the wooden shed at the rear of the house. This cannot be proven in this particular case, of course, because the nests were destroyed as well. In other instances, however, cigarette butts have been found in with the nesting mateiials collected by these birds and it is highly possible that a still-smouldering cigarette could be picked up as Though starlings are perhaps not so prevalent in Canada as south of the border, local Fire Chief Ted Lee says that the birds (black with yellow beaks -- they look like small crows) do represent a hazard, and should be prevented from nesting in roof jets (eaves) or cavities. He also adds that this is another good reason why smokers should always be very careful to thoroughly crush out their cigarettes no matter where they are, before disposing of them. Colborne's area's new telephone directory will be going to press shortly, so please check your listing. Is Jyour name spelled correctly? And what /about additional listings? Other members of your family and relatives', roomers or boarders would benefit from having their names listed in the telephone book.

Remember, extra listings, at little cost, make it easier for people to find you. For any changes in your listing, or any additions, (call our Business Office without delay. FOR YOUNG DRIVERS & YOUNG SCHOLARS It's that time of year again to remind Colborne drivers that energetic youngsters will soon be out of school and playing wherever their fancy takes them. Of course we can and do tell them over and over to watch out for cars and not to play where it's dangerous. But we'd all feel better If we yno uoie.vi 0} }mod jepods e guppjui ojom sjoaijp leui mou^ for them, too. Incidentally, the Bell practice of making a "circle of safety" around a parked vehicle before starting up not only serves to ferret out imprudent youngsters or pets from beneath a car of truck -- it is also an ideal way for a driver to constantly remind himself of his continuing responsibility for safety. And what better time to be reminded than just before getting into the car? MAKING A LONG DISTANCE SHORT A friend of mine, returning from a family vacation out West this spring, is totally convinced of the wisdom of phoning ahead for reservations (along the route. He says the longest distance they travelled was not along (the highway at all -- it was the frustrating distance from motel to hotel to motel looking for a place to stay the first night out. The shortest distance was after he called to the .next stop-over city for reservations, and knew that comfortable quarters were waiting for them. years of age are being hired while a few yeans ago men over 35 were not taken on unless they were war veterans, Mr. Cooper said. He said young men are taking the job only as a stop-gap until they can find something better and added at least 10 percent leave every year from each of the 186 postal branches in Canada, many with up to 10 years experience. The majority leave because of low pay and working conditions, he said. "This is not only a waste of money but it a serious blow to the post office to lose such men," Mr. Cooper added. Postal departments in such centres as Oshawa and Oakville are having it especially difficult to attract and keep good men because of General Motors and the Ford Motor Company which are offering good wages more fringe benefits, top pension plans and better working conditions. Prince Rupert and Prince George in British Columbia are in the same position. j If "Sweepers in many plants earn more than postmen do and they can get along without moonlighting which is the rule rather than the exception among letter carriers," said the President. "In many centres in Canada people on top welfare are taking home more money tha nwe are." Mr. Cooper said that for as long back as most postmen can remember they have never "worked to rule" although by doing this they have been acting contrary to the regulations laid down b ythe postal department. "They have been cutting corners to give the public good service. But if the letter carriers decide on this action it will slow down the imail and if they should be able (to enlist the co-operation of the postal clerks who sort the mail the effiiciency of deliveries would be seriously hampered," he said.
