ONE OF THE: PROBLEMS!
One of the problems in . publishing a
newspaper is the delivery of such to the
subscriber. This is not a local problem as.
we receive service second to none through
the ,Lucknow Post., Officer .It is after the
home . town paper travels a few miles from.
Lucknow,, that it ceases to mean anything
to those who handle it and in'many,cases
•.`.
seems; to be treated, accordingly.
`A -couple of years ago when mail .:..
service changed to truck, deliveries the post
office department. revised out mailing list.
This has helped .tremendously in, Sentinel,
deliveriesbut. the: larger cities still are un-
predictable in their. delivery schedules. The
Sentinel leaves Lucknow post office' with-
out fail every Wednesday afternoon : at
five o'clock. It would stand to reason that
the subscriber should get it about the same
time every week, give a day or two, but
this is not the case. Toronto deliveries
range from Thursday, to . Tuesday of they/
following week and yet the Toronto papers
are all in one bundle when, they reach . that
city. 'A case this week has a United States
you speak to .your postmaster,, get ' the.
proper address, zone, etc:, from him, and
' then • contact us. ,After that it appears that
all that can . be done is to hope for the
best, and ;ask, your mailman to .treat your
home town paper like he would his. own.
;GOO: READING IMPORT.A.NT
This is, Young Canada's Boole .Week.
across'. the Dominion when attention is to-
. cased' on the ' importance of. well-written
and well produced books being ..available
to'' our young', people and children. The
child's life' is extended and enriched by.
good books which exercise their imagin-
ation- and lead them into :'other worlds:
Dr. Hilda Neatby, ' patroness'. of Young,
Canada's Book Week, says in, part: "Books
are a potent force for good and for evil,
and ,especially. so .inthe lives: of the :young:
Nothing is more . certain . than that young

immense importance that they should• also

We are not 'complaining ' about the
way the post office department treats the
weekly Press and we do appreciate ' very
much ` the mailing privileges given to us and.:
the complete co-operation' of the local
staff. Newspapers are second' class matter
and naturally do not ` get the attention that
first class mail gets, but we do wonder what.
happens to Nthese papers that are never de-
livered:.
'&he' harassed mailmen, . however,.
seems tobe having their headaches, with
the mounting volume . of unaddressed fold-
ers : and similar material. The Post Office
is making a study of this matter and may
have to take steps to reduce' the volume of
this type of mail, much of which eventually
ends up in the garbage 'chin, .or waste paper
containers.
If you are one of the many who write
us mentioning . poor, delivery ; we suggest
