' 12- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, August 25, 1992 Gold medal winners in Epsom An English gentleman re- turning from a visit to Canada was asked "Did you enjoy sum- mer in Canada?" His reply, "I don't know, I was only there eleven months." The Vacation Bible School was very successful. There were 40 or more children there each day and they brought their pets and they were taught animal crafts each day. They made a talking apple one day, and tur- key biscuits another day. Some- thing new each day. Their leader Pat Sutherland says "Thank you" to her help- ers: Dale Slack, Jane Sobil, Jane Tracey, and Kathy Ste- phenson. Also thanks to Epsom- Utica for a mid-morning break; also to Melba for a Friday morn- ing treat of apples. Thanks for financial support, and I may add "Thank you Pat" from all of us. Doris Armstrong is home from a visit to her brother Ho- ward Gourlie and his wife Hel- en of Nipawin, Saskatchewan.

Although Dennis Anderson Chev-Olds closed its doors in Port Perry recently, General Motors of Canada spokeman Stew Low says the Queen Street store "is still officially a dealer- ship." Mr. Low said Dennis Ander- son, the president of the dealer- ship, elected to close the busi- ness "to weigh a number of options." He said financial rea- sons necessitated this move. Mr. Low said it would be two to three weeks before the future of the dealershipis known. In the meantime Bryce Philp, president of Philp Pontiac- Buick, has agreed to honor all Chevrolet, Oldsmobile and Geo warranties on cars purchased at Dennis Anderson's at the Van- edward Drive location.

The survey does not ask for customer response to the liter- ally hundreds of thousands of hours cut at post offices across the country in 1990 and again in 1992. In spite of promises from the corporation that these cuts do not result in loss of ser- vice to the customer, the fact is that mail previously sorted and available to the public by 8:30 or 9 a.m. is now relegated to an "all day sort" - that is, as the post- master is able to get to it, be- tween customers. Most commu- nities have lost their Saturday and noon-hour service; high vol- ume, high revenue periods. At a time of devastating un- employment, the survey does not request feedback on the loss since 1986 of 3,000 jobs (83 per cent of them belonging to wom- en) to rural Canada's economy. At a time of national crisis, the survey fails to address the loss of the unifying role played by the tangible federal presence of the public post offices flying Canadian flags right across the country. Canada Post and the Govern- ment of Canada would do well to avail themselves of the as- sessments of post office closures and privatized outlets coming in - free of charge - to M.P.'s of- fices, public meetings and com- munity newspapers from not 27 communities, but hundreds of towns and villages. Rural Canadians will not be truly satisfied until the federal government cancels the Cana- da Post plan. Yours truly, Cynthia Patterson, National co-ordinator Rural Dignity of Canada, Barachois de Malbaie, Que.
