In today's world of sophisticated communication systems and high priced decision -makers, it frus- trates me beyond limits to be a victim of Canada Post's waffling and lack of concrete communica- tions with those affected. Nearly sixteen years ago, as a new resident of Crediton, I was denied rural mail service. For six- teen years, I collected mail at Jackson's and then the Post Office in Crediton, as of February 5, who knows? By adding some twenty new rural boxes to the fourteen presently in service are we not cluttering further the north side of the road? Are we not providing more inevitable tar - !gets for the snowplow? Are we not incurring greater personal• costs in the form of boxes, poles and holes? Are we not increasing the chances of van- dalism, mail tamper- ing, weathered mail and undesired nesting sites? If you take the time to calculate the change -of -address notices nec- essary for fluid continuation of ser- vices, it will stagger you. It would be nice to know, in writing exactly, what my new address will be and how the bill collectors can get in touch with me! There are always wrinkles in any new shirt. I hope that Canada Post heats the iron soon and officially tells us their intentions for our con- tinued postal service, maybe with the system wrinkles gone, the ones in my forehead will start to go too.

"A Ceilidh (pronounced "kay-lee"), is the gaelic word for a social gather- ing or as some natives say, 'a hell of a time with a devil of a bunch.' We'll teach you how the "Gay Gor- don" is really danced. For those who have never tried the Scottish delicacy, "haggis", this is your chance as the choir ushers in the haggis in a special ceremony."

A ,buffet dinner following the concert is pro- vided in the ticket price of $12.00 ($14.00 at the door). But besides haggis, there's Lots of food after the show for everyone. Last year's Cei- lidh audience will remember the plentiful jokes of host Rob Bundy, the bagpipe sounds of Glenn McGregor, and country dancing for everyone.
