The number of papers to day is less than half what it was and many of them are being livered by carrier. The biggest improvement the postal service which Pfaff has noted is the air-mail delivery which is used on regular mail in Canada. This has speeded up delivery time to distant points across the country. Mr. Pfaff has seen another im provement develop in rural mail delivery. Years ago, a farmer had to be contented with getting his mail at the closet concession road which the carrier drove along. Now, he gets it delivered to a box at the end of his gate. Cost of sending letters hasn't increased much in 31 years, how ever. When Mr. Pfaff first start ed his job, three-cent stamps were required on letters. The rate has only increased one cent. Writing Headache One of the biggest headaches in the postal business, Mr. Pfaff has found, is poor writing.

Wea ther has not been too favorable for the crops and the farmer must take advantage of every good day. Another farm wife — ‘‘harvest time is not so convenient for us but election is so important, even farm people should take time out to vote.” A farm wife with a grown-up family remarked: ‘‘Most certainly women should get out and vote —anything less would be too bad. Another rural woman said: ‘‘I am interested in the election and will vote. Every woman able to get to the polls should certainly go.” Another said; ‘‘Rural people should vote for the man who is a farmer himself and understands farmers’ working the last Still said: “I ’every should use it.’ A young farm woman said: “I’m not much of a politician but do intend to vote. Coming at harvest time, we have not been able to attend meetings or even listen to the much as we to.” While still dio political talks are confusing and contradictory. Women were long enough obtaining the right to vote and should take advan tage of it. I intend to.” Still with the rural women: ‘‘Women should have their own ideas. I always do vote and there would be no living in our house if I didn’t.” Between her father and now her husband, she had never had a chance not to vote. 'One young wife in town said: ‘‘Women wanted the franchise and they have no cause to gripe if they don’t get out and use it. Some folks say it doesn’t matter if they vote or not, members do as they want anyway after elect ed. A good slogan would be ‘If you don’t "vote, don’t beef’.” A young mother said: “I think everyone should vote—it deter mines our government, People bringing up families should take an interest in elections.” Another young mother re marked: “I'm not keen about election but will go and vote.” Still another; “I never miss going to vote and take quite an interest in election.” Another town woman said: “I’m not too much interested but I think we need a change and I’ll get out and vote and will vote the same as my husband so I’ll not kill his vote.” Still another said; “I intend to go and vote. I usually do,” While another remarked; “I hope to vote, I feel women should.” Another angle expressed was “I think wdmen should vote and, even if I didn’t, my husband would make me get out and vote anyway,” On the whole', rural Women seemed to be more actively in terested in the coming election than the town women who were interviewed. from Page 1 vote.

Canada’s exports are at an all time high and agricultural ex ports have never been higher. 7. PRODUCTION—“In the last decade (under Liberal policies) the accomplishments of Canadians have made the Prime Minister is in part due power of the and, in part, the result of Liberal policies by which this nation has come to be. regarded as having a sound economy. Liberal financing has raised our dollar to top posi tion in the world. 8. NATIONAL ECONOMY — balanced budgets, tax reductions according to our financial circum stances, and paying off the national debt. Under this same Sys tem, Canada is one of the very few nations in the world which balances its budget and at the same time meets all its obliga tions for security and welfare. Taxes which ’ in the postwar years have been reduced by more than 500 million will continue to be reduced as circumstances permit. These policies, in action today and proving their worth in the va- world marvel.”-— St. Laurent. This to the productive Canadian people expanding position of Canada throughout the world, will not be sacrificed by the Liberals in. order to meet exuberant promises made in the heat of an election cam paign. The Liberal party believes in good housekeeping; in paying off Canada’s debt; in attending to the needs of its people; and in doing business with our neigh bors in the world community on a friendly, peaceful basis. “FOR HEALTH’S SAKE, ROLLER SKATE!” Exeter Roller Rink Two Blocks West of Southcott Bros.
