that we get a report of activities
that are of interest`for publication
in The Post. A special word of
appreciation to our
correspondents who go out of
their way to make sure we receive
their copy in time for publication.
We ask that this kind of
co-operation be continued; with
our thanks, as long as the mail
strike goes on. It.is also pleasing
to find that so many folks from a
distance, 'who are not getting
their Post by mail, come to the
office to pick up their copy , and
quite often, that of their friends
and neighbours,' rather than miss
it week after week.

Guides and Brownies took an

Saturday when Bill Dobson was
repairing the steps down into.the
pit in his garage, when he dug up
a tombstone.

and detailed. In memory of

rest, And this shall be our prayer,
That when we reach our journey,.
Thy glory we, may share.
