SPONSORED BY HURON DISTRICT OPU IT'S NO SECRET— I'M ON MASTER! BAIRD'S SCHOOL. Norman Long, Kippen, who cel- ebrated 25 years in the postal service Wednesday, April 1, has travelled a. distance equal to eight times around the world delivering mail to his customers on RR 2, Kippen. The conscientious, obliging cour- ier has driven nearly 200,000 miles serving the 80-odd families on his 24 and three-quarter miles route for a quarter century. "They're a grand bunch of people, too," he says of the people he has served so long, Now in his 75th year, the Kip- pen courier has established a re- markable record of service. He's never been late for the mail and he misses few deliveries despite the winters here. "This has been the worst one we've had in those 25 years," says Mr. Long, who estimates the snowdrifts were as high as .15 feet, He knows because he's had to crawl to his hands and knees to the mail box on top. Even so, he only missed two days this win- ter. He's had many hectic days on the road, getting stuck in snow and mud, and travelling through blizzards which reduced visibility to zero, But he's never had an ac- cident. During the last 15 years he has had five cars. He delivered by horse and buggy for the first ten on his route, "The most important day of the month as far as the mail is con- cerned is the 20th," says Mr, Long with a smile. "That's the day the baby bonuses are delivered and everyone seems to look forward to them." "I've delivered a lot of money in 25 years," he states, thinking of the livestock cheques and the grain returns he's put in farm mail boxes. He's also delivered a lot of things he doesn't have to, and he admits, with a slight grin, that perhaps he has spoiled his cus- tomers a little bit. "Oh, they want me to take home the groc- eries, or do this or that for them. It takes up a lot of time but once you start doing it, it's pretty hard to stop, They show their apprec- iation when Christmas comes a- round." Mr. Long bought his 50-acre farm in 1934 from Mrs. A. Hare vey, whose husband was the cour- ier, and he took over the route at the same time. He was born in Owen Sound, and came to Kippen from Windsor. Married, he has two daughters, Mrs. Alvin Ulch, Windsor; Mrs. Ed Little, Hensel], and one son, Arthur, St, Catherines. Two granddaughters are Marcia and Cheryl Little, Hensall. — Exeter Times-Advocate. BRUCEFIELD Mrs. Victor Hargreaves has re- turned from a pleasant two weeks hpliday in Florida.
