Monkton loses
post office
Two small Elma township com
munities are faced with the fear of
losing their post offices following
announcements from representa
tives of Canada Post.
A crown corporation letter in
formed residents of Monkton that
the 16-year-old building containing
their post office will be sold and the
service privatized. The move is
expected to take place in January.
Likewise, residents of the neigh
bouring village of Atwood were
informed that a closure of their post
office is being considered once its
lease is up, which is in two years.
A community affairs officer for
Canada Post, Jim Craig, came to a
meeting of Elma Council recently
to speak on the postal service and
in particular how it relates to the
closing of the Monkton post office.
While Monkton residents are
concerned about the closure, Mr.
Craig assured Atwood that the only
change would be an improvement
as the private stores would have
longer hours.
Mr. Craig confirmed that Canada
Post has a policy to individually
review every post office’s situation
when and if the postmaster retires
or the lease on the building is up. If
either happens they will look at the
possibility of a retail postal outlet.

mas meeting is to be at Mrs. James

ence and its program. One being

other from Rev. Tucker’s recom
mendation cf Jennifer. Twenty-five
dollars was given to Jennifer
towards her expenses.

tery at Centralia College May 3 - 6,

Mrs. Audrey Fenton was in
charge of the worship and after the
singing of the hymn “All the way
my Saviour leads me” and prayer,
read the poem “In Flanders
Fields” as in remembrance.
The group recited in unison the
23rd Psalm. For the meditation,
Mrs. Fenton used this psalm verse
by verse and its meaning.
Mrs. Alice Scott had the Bible
study from Matthew 1 and the
geneology and birth of Jesus Christ
and the naming of Jesus’ ances
tors.
Mrs. Mary Hunter had the study
and used the article of Rev. Dr.
Vasant Saklikar. He was born in
India and at the age of 22 came to
Canada at the reqest of the
Department of History at Memorial
University, Newfoundland. He ex
perienced racial prejudice in many
ways. At an interview in his last
year at McGill University, he was
asked when he was going back to
India to serve in a heathen environ
ment. In his resume he had told
them he was a Canadian citizen and
wanted to stay in Canada.
At his first wedding he conduct
ed they wanted to know if he
would, as an East Indian, know
how to conduct a Christian wedd
ing.
As a United Church minister, the
best way to contort the racism is to
confess it exists and do something
about it.
To close the meeting, the
U.C.W. benediction was read in
unison.
