This is a giratifying announcement and will result in a greatly increased volume of cor:rospondence . between the Old Land and Canada â€" especially. The move has given great satisfaction in Britain and has strengthened the hands of those there who are pleadâ€" ing fer similar action. The British Postmaster General claims it would make a redvction in revenue of beâ€" tween 7 or $ million pounds sterling and he is afraid to venture. It may come yet. Meanwhile Dom, Treasurâ€" er Robb continues to give us agreeâ€" able surprises, and this reduction of Empire postage rate is one of them. (The following letter has been withâ€" held for several weeks for lack of space.â€"Ed.) Dear Editor : In a recent issue of the Fesherton Advance I read a couple of letters on the subject of who started School Fairs in Grey Co. One of the letters was written by T. Stewart Cooper, â€" Agricultual Repreâ€" sentative for the Co of Grey. He took the ground that I had nothing to do with the building up of schcol fairs and he is right. I had nothing to do with the work, nor have 1 ever claimed to have had. OLD COUNTRY PCSTAGE NOW 26 Member Canadian Weekly Newspap erg‘ Assnciation. C.

This year Mr Cooper said he weuld not allow "How Canada is grveined" to be used as one of the subjects.

These pecple belong to the Slavic race livâ€" ing in Austria. This work commenced in 1920 and has now greatly developâ€" ed. The two missionaries there, livâ€" ing in a large home equipped with 2 furraces and the waterworks, â€" have accommâ€"~lation for nearly thirty chilâ€" dren. These are taught public and Sunday School work and assist in the housework. This is a splendid training for them, learning our cusâ€" toms and rcligion. The missionaries use a tram of horses to get around the country and visit the homes. Here they help the women in every way possible and get into very close teuch with them. The greatest diffiâ€" evltv the missionaries have to conâ€" tend with is the antagonistic, Boisheâ€" visiic spirit prevalent among the Uâ€" kranian men. Miss Ball visited the Mission school in Edmonton and La Monte and commenced her work in Wastao in 1922. Miss Ball had very thoughtfully brought along several boautifully embroidered dresses worn by the Ukranian women. Noiw.â€"Will Circle members please make this a clipp‘ag for future referâ€" ence .
