W. E. Pearson, district director of postal services, London, said the" department was giving Ser- ious consideration to the incorp- oration of such •a service, Ten- ders are presently being sailed to determine the costs.. If the truck route is approved, mail will be taken off the strain. Mr. Pearson said the new train service has not proven satisfac- tory and even the 'new schedule announced two weeks ago will not be ,good' enough.' According to the tender call, the department' expects the route would • 'require• a .truck with a carrying capacity of 850 culbic feet and capable of conveying a load of two and oneahaif tons. The contractor must have avail- able suitable atandby erlui'Pment in case ; of :breakdowns and larger equipment for ' the Christmas. season, The truck would leave London at 7.00 a.m., just after the 'over- night mail arrives, and proceed up No. 4 Highway until it reached Wingham at. 10.20 a.m. It would leave Wingham at 3.25 p.•m. for the return trip and arrive in London at 6,45. „ Times affecting this area on the proposed schedule are:, 'Morning trip (north) : Denfield Enjoys %York, In BC Mission After spending 166, months in a Mission Hospital in Bella Coola, B.C„ Miss Marie Wildfong. has •returned ..to Exeter and to her home fora 'two -months' vacation'*' Miss Wildaong is enthusiastic` about her work and 'is looking forward toresuming it again.

Robert Winters, minister of public works, , Mr, Winters told Elston Car- diff, Huron M.P., that provision. of more adequate postal a+Cio'm- mod'ation for both Exeter and Hensall was under active consid- eration by his department. The minister said the Mester property hasbeen surveyed and the department was making pre- liminary .sketches of the type of addition that might be suitable. Mr. Cardiff has twice raised the problem of Exeter's inade- quate facilities on the floor of the House. His latest request for action on the project was .two weeks ago, The member said the. situation was one of overcrowding and that the project was a "legiti- mate necessity." Although the minister said plans were being made for an addition, it was announced by a district postal o'Sficial earlier this month that plans had already been approved. Robert Needham, parliamentary correspondent of The Londoe Free Press, reported this ex- change between the minister and Mr. Cardiff over the Hensall ,proposal. ' The. Huron member stated 'be- fore the election It was agreed that the land was to be pur- chase Yfrom elle C.N.R. for a post office. It was lest to the Board of „Trade to have a building .con- struoted, following which the Government agreed to rent It for post office purposes. It seemed that right after the election the Prefect wasforgotten --he won- dered w'hathad happened to it. Mr. Winters said there was a problem as to the site. Some con- sideration was given to erecting a building at Wellington and King streets in Hensall. But local citizens including the reeve, ex- pressed the view that the pro- posed site was unsatisfactory. Since then, the department had Please Turn to Page ,7 Exeter council, faced with an ultimatum 'threatening co u r t action, plans to establish a new method of garbage disposal at the dump which 'will provide for more efficient covering of the refuse, The proposal, made by 'officials of the Buren, County Health Unit, will be considered by a committee of the council at a special meeting -this week and action is expected' quickly. Although they made recommen- dations for improvement, Unit officials assured the town the sanitation problem at the .dump was not serious, In feet, Dr. R. M. Aldis, the unit director, was reported as saying the condi- tion of the local du'm'p is "above average" for towns of similar size. Council was notified at its meeting Monday that court action would be taken against the town if no attempt at covering the -garbage was made within a week.

Council agreed to seek 'advise from, health authorities 'and Reeve William M'eKenzie, a mem- ber of the county health unit, escorted Dr. Allis and Sanitation Engineer William Empey on a tour of the. dump Tuesday. Mr. EmpeY told The F7.'imes- Advocate Wednesday he did not believe the condition of the dump was as bad as ohar'ged by the complainants. Except for the: coverage of refuse, .the .area was. "quite satisfactory," he said. Adopt Land P111 Practice The engineer said he recon Mended the town .adopt :the "salii- tart' land fill practice" of garbage disposal which is used by mangy centres. This method requires; the digging „ of trenches into which the garbage is dumped, compacted and covered periodi- cally. Mayor Pooley and Reeve Mc- Kenzie both indicated they were in favor of implementing thin plan. Problem remains of secur— ing a bulldozer heavy enough to work in the hard, gravely soil 'of the, dump. A small bulldozer has been em- ployed a number of times this year to pile up and cover the refuse but it has not had the power to dig up the dirt. It was' ; emlployed last week to clean up the area. On' Wednesday, nature took ,a. hand in cleaning up the dump. Fire, believed' started 'by'spon- taneous combustion, raged through the dump from 10,01 a.m, until late 'at night. Flames: leaped as high as 20 feet in the air, ' Town seen who were hauling gas+b'age during the morning said they believed the blaze started by the sun . reflecting through glass on a piece of cardboard. Mr, Shaw, who complained ear- lier in the year about fires, called the fire department when he re- turned from work, in London at 5 o'eiock. The brigade went to the area, but diel not- attempt to stop the blaze. Receive.
