WROXETER,John liupfer,
R, R, Wroxeter mail courier,
retired on March 31 after 40
years' service, He was 86 years
old last October and is in good
health. Mr. Hupfer is wonder,-
lag now if lie has made a mis-
take as it is going to be hard to
fill that time, but he may take
a trip this summer. He is not
the travelling type and has not
gone far in the past years ex-
cept for a couple of trips to De-
troit and several visits with his
daughter, Mrs. Blair. (Betty)
Sharp of Sarnia.
He worked as assistant thresh-
er, at ditch dredging work, and
then took up farming on Con-
cession d Howick, He then
moved to a farm on the bound-
ary line between Howick and
Turnberry. in 1927 he sold this
farm to the late Frank F, Wright
and purchased the farm on which
he now resides from John Doig.
He found he also acquired the
duties of rural mail courier from
Mr. Doig,
lie served faithfully, often
beyond required duties to get
the mail delivered by cutter,
buggy and car. His route cov-
ered 221 miles south and east of
Wroxeter and it has been esti-
mated by the London Free Press
that he has travelled 101 times
around the earth and has done
this accident free -- not even a
dented fender. lie had 52 box-
holders and there are only five
left that were patrons on his
first run. He has outlasted five
or six cars.
For the past 29 years he has
been assisted by his housekeep-
er, Miss Hazel Sparling, who
has also given her best to ful-
fill her duties. She recalls that
after Mr, Ilupfer no longer had
a horse, anti when roads were
too soft in some places in the
spring for the car, she often
walked and carried the mail for
distances of 2Ji and 3 miles
along two different roads where
she would again meet Mr. Hup-
fer for tire rest of the trip.Rules
and regulations did not call for
this but they took their duties
seriously and always fulfilled
them to the best of their ability,
Most of the patrons were very
co-Operative, There were a
number of patrons who always
made certain they had a path
shovelled to their boxes which
was appreciated.
The new mail courier, Art
Gibson of Wroxeter has taken
over the route and with his wife
Eleanor will continue to give
faithful service,

sive Conservative association are seen chat-
