People Mr. and Mrs. Reg Lawson spent the weekend at London with Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Warren and also attended the Hannah-Kirk wedd ing. Rural Dignity stops at Blyth Continued from page 1 Community Hall that Canada Post had “no intention” of closing out the Ethel Post Office, and in a gesture of conciliation, offered to give acting postmaster Doreen Suter until the end of January to consider the terms of the franchis ing contract she had originally been told to sign by November 1. On Friday, Ms. Suter said that she has had no further pressure from the corporation to sign the contract, while Canada Post offi cials will only say that her contract is “still under negotiation.” Mrs. Higgs, who claims that Rural Dignity has information indicating that Canada Post’s intention is to close any Canadian post office serving fewer than 10,000 people by 1997, says that the corporation is “running scared because of all the fuss that people have been making” in opposition to its plan to privatize, “especially in an election year.” She adds that the public cannot afford to let up in its efforts to save small post offices. This is why, she explains, that the “Coast to Coast” tour is so important. Organizers have been distributing red-and-white post age-paid postcards across the nation since the tour began two weeks ago, asking that they be filled out in support of keeping the nation’s small post offices viable. Cards may be mailed to Prime Minister Mulroney directly, she says, or brought to the van at its various stops across the country, to be delivered directly. It’s impor tant, she says, for the cards to all arrive in Ottawa by June 7, so she suggests that they be handed into the van wherever possible. “You never know what might happen to them if they get into the mail,” she jokes. “Coast to Coast for Rural Post” cards may be picked up at several stores in both Blyth and Brussels, - at the Citizen’s office in both villages. They can also be returned to The Citizen prior to this Saturday, or delivered directly to the Rural Dignity van in Blyth. The van will arrive in Blyth at approximately 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 4, and will remain on the main street for about 15 minutes before continuing its odyssey, Mrs. Higgs said.
