The Company desires a public meeting at Fenelon Falls, at which directors will be present to lay the matter before the public. The Reeve and members of the council and a large representation of business men met on Tuesday evening, when Mr. Armstrong’s letter was read and discussed, and steps were taken to arrange a. date for the public meeting. As the presence of the parliamentary representatives of the riding at the meeting was requested ~by Mr. Arm- strong, Co]. the Hon. Sam. Hughes was wired, and when his reply is received a. date will be fixed. Dr. Mason is now in town, and will attend the meeting. ‘ ' St. Andrew's Church. The annual meeting of the Ladies’ Aid Society of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Fenclon Falls, was held at the home of Mrs. Dr. Mason on the evening of Dec. 18th, 1912. All the reports show- ed the Society to be in a flourishing con- dition. The election of oiiicers for 1913 resulted as follows: President, Mrs. Lord; let Vice-Pres, Mrs. Mason; 2nd Vice-Pres, Mrs. MeArthur; Treasurer, Mrs. W. L. Robson; Secretary, Mrs. J. S. Northey. . A pleasing feature of the evening was the presentation to Mrs. Lord of a cut glass berry set and spoon,w1th the fol- lowing address : Dear Mrs. Lord :~â€" The members of the Ladies' Aid of St. Andrew’s Church, Fcnelon Falls, feel that that they cannot let this oppor- tunity pass during this Christmas season without putting on record some expres- sion of their good will towards you, and , not only this, but to emphasize in some tangible way their appreciation of your services. We feel that a major portion of our success can be attributed to your untiring zeal in this connection, but it 15 not our purpose to. convey to you eulogy as unnecessaryas it is inexprcssive, and we simply ask you to receive this gift from us as a small remembrance and accept our very best wishes for you and yours. That you may have a Joyous Christmas season and a. long and. pros- perous life. Fenelon Falls, Dec. 18th, 1912.. The “Happy Thought” ' Range.

Now that the 'United States has adopted and commenced to operate successfully a parcel post service, Can- ada. shares with Spain the rather mel- ancholy distinction of being the only countries of any account in the north- ern hemisphere which have failed to. provide that important public conve- inience.

In Canada, as happened to the United States, it is the railway com- panies and their subsidiary express companies that are opposing the introâ€" duction of a Dominion service. Mr. Fl‘orance observes thatthe parcel post par excellence is found in the coun- tries that control their railway sys- tems or portions of them. In Germa- ny, Austria, Hungary, Belgium, Swit- zerland, Russia and. Columbia, ‘the post-offices will carry. packages weigh- ing one hundred poundscomore. If it is opposed that the rural mail ser- vice of Canada is not suiii'ciently orga- nized, that is no reason for withhold- ing the service from the settled dis- tricts. The parcels post can be easily extended to rural mail routes as these are formed. . [Since the above was in type the an- nouncement has been made that action will be taken at the next session of the Dominion parliament to establish a parcels post system in Canada, and that there is a. possibility that the system may be inaugurated Within six months] 4 Epworth. heague Convention. ‘ GLASS-ES .
