Office at. Port ' Col borne, .:,Ontario ,I would first like .= to stress -that we want .to, ensure that there is no 'misunderstanding,' not only with respect'. to ..the Unavoidable closing 'of this . Post :Office but, also, ::regarding • our • approach to; the question. of postal service gen erally on the • St. Lawrence Sea- way. We are very valet.'" aware .of the problems 1.and • difficulties. .that are: encounteredconcerning postal service by . the 'seamen and; vessels trading bothin • the Wet- land''the.' St.. Law rence . Seaway. In fact, this mat ter has been of . concern to us for .some time and, only' recently, was the subject of 'a comprehen- sive .Study with a view. to •improv= ing the situation. It should be explained that pos- tal service was available at the Port Colborne. Marine Office' : 24: hour s ' per. day: Service was pro- vided•. by. employees , of the St. Lawrence .Seaway Authority who, 'although, •they were, engaged for performance of other duties, were able to provide the limited ,postal service whenrequired. However, following a reorganization of the Welland Canal ' System by ' the Au- thority, the employees who,. prev- iously were in a position to pro- vide' ro-wide' any services required, were transferred to other duties: However,` since :the decision was taken to' close this office we, have had a considerable_ . ammount..of' cor- respondence and- discussion with interested parties which indicates that the main cgacern and cause for complaint ° ihvblving the loss of the Port . Colborne Marine Of- : fice is the ''delay, in delivery ' of mail to employees of theships that are using the 'Canal System., In . view of the foregoing, we againtook this matter • up with the St. Lawrence Seaway 'Author- ity, in .*order to determine. wheth er ,it would be practicable 'to es-- tablish delivery facilities in lieu. of those formerly provided at the Marine Office. As a result of this subsequent . ` discussion and study and ' with the complete co-opera- tion .of the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority, I am. pleased to inform, ygu 'that arrangements have now: :been concluded to provide a de- livery service to be located at Thorold;'. Ontario. . This proposed new office .will provide forthe delivery of mail,. both ordinary, and registered, and will also provide for the posting of mail. Postage stamps will be 'available through stamp vending machines, The. office will be known as "Thorold Marine and it, will ' be opened as soon as .'acs commodation can• be .provided which is expected to be by the 1 Seed Grains arwick Seed Corn ..; BI osts Huron Presbyterial At the • executive meeting of Huron 'UCW Presbyterial held „in Blyth United•Chureh, April 5, with the President Mrs.' Gilbert Beg - croft in:.the: choir, an .invitation to hold the 1966 Presbyterial in, Clinton was accepted.
