LETTER$. TO THE EDITOR
Ottawa, 11)5/
Advance-'.''rules,
11)5/
Winghatn, Ontario
Dear
t SitIL It is apparent front repo rts
which have been received from Post-
ma$ters in all parts of the country,
that over the recent Christmas period,
the public co-operated as never before
with the Postal Service in early mail-
ing of their Christmas gifts and greet-
ings.
This co-operhtion has been deeply
appreciated, It indicates there is
widespread understanding• of the
problems which the Post Office faces
ill the Christmas rush and a general
readiness to assist the Postal Ser-
vice in meeting thent.
In its preparednesN for handling
the heavy mailings, is, hick again set it
new record in voltpuy, the departmynt
took on .20,000 temporary employees,
These temporary employees did a
good joh,t although Many of them had
had no previous experience in postal
work. Even this enlarged organiza-
tion, however, would have been unable
to dispose of the heavy mailingsg be-
fore Christmas without the effective
co-operation of the public, Because
mail was posted well in advance of
Christmas day, in most instances, our
Post Offices were back on an almost
normal basis by 22nd, and 23rd, of
December.
The newspapers contributed greatly
to this happy situation by keeping
the public informed through news
stories, special articles and editorials,
on developments in handling the mails
from. day to clay, and I would he re-
miss, therefore, if I did nbt thank you
for the help your publication gave us,
With all best wishes for the new
year, I remain,
Yours sincerely,
W. J. Turnbull,
Deputy Postmaster Ceneral

Concert Series Brinp: Much To Town.
The winter series of concerts sponsored and
it-presented through the co-operation of the Department of
:Education, brings a tremendous gift of what might be
termed 'culture' to a community of this size. We have not
-.-ct had the pleasure of hearing one of the concerts ill
Xingham, but we have attended similar evenings at both
'IN'alkerton and Hanover and have yet to be disappointed.
It is perfectly true, of course, that many people are
:reclined to class the concert series entertainments as -high •
!..,row."In fact there are enough people who do so that at
..;e11,.1,:,,nees are often far from capacity. It is for this reason
-.hat the Department of 1.;.thication bears a portion UI the
elliertaiumelit. lite idea behind it all is that t'..e gell
oral public in Ontario rural communities will widen its
i;s,:nowledge of better class entertainment and so learn to .0111.161111111.1.1.140141.1.1 111,11$11.1111ffin unu, P,u"u, Imo

a high price. Old-time music and dance band syncopa-
tion are so universal today that many of us are inclined to
forget that not every listener is satisfied with this kind of
music. Some crave for those finer compositions which fall
;note closely to the line of perfection.
The idea that we may in time learn to appreciate really
good music is not so preposterous as it may at first ap-
pear. Recently we were talking to a friend who visited
Italy during the summer, and he remarked on the inborn
sense of good music present in most Italians. Where the
:nail on the street here would be whistling a popular ditty,
:'xis counterpart ill Italy runs over a few bars from one of
he. operas. They don't do so because they are highbrow,
'lint because they love the music which the passing years
have proven worthwhile.
it is to be hoped that the concert series will be contin-
',Jed in years to come, and that more and more people will
:earn to enjoy the rich satisfaction thus made available to
us.
Are Your Children in the Band?
The parents of boys and girls who are members of the
junion. band gathered one night recently and organized so
that they might lend their adult guidance ,and encourage-
ment to the youngsters. The move is a good one, for the
boys' and girls' band is something that should not be lost
to the town at any cost. It seems evident that with the act-
ive help of a strong parents' group, the band should be able
to make strides ahead and eventually become something

newsworthy items which occur in your circle of acqua,in- 1

one will, say, "Why didn't you mention in the paper that 1

town will complain; "I never see anything about the Black 1

,your co-operation. We can't find it all by ourselves, And 1
the people who want to see such items in the paper have a I
genuine and kindly interest in old friends and want to a
