that people who toured the Clinton Post Office got a chance

Post Office
The only contact most people
'have with the Post Office. is in
sliding as letter into a mailing
slot or in clearing their mail
boxes. but on July 27 they got a
chance to view the process that
takes place between the two
actions when the Clinton -Post
Office held an Open House.
From 1 to 3:15 in the af-
• ternoon. the general public
were given a grand tour of the
office area behind the mailing
counters and treated to soft
drinks.
The Clinton Post Office.
which employs .10 people
handles approximately 10.000-
15.000 pieces of mail each day.
Post Maser dick Dickson said.
"We sort mail for Brueefield,
Varna. Hayfield and Blyth 'as
well as the town,- he said.
There are about 1.800 points
of call in Clinton: 200 short of
the number that would
facilitate the.!service of
ma i men . Howe ver , the Post
Office's three rural route
mailing areas • have their
mailed delivered to Weir lionies
by five rural route carriers.
People complain about the
efficiency of the postal service
in Canada, but according to Mr.
Dickson. they are far better off
than.. their counterparts in the
United States. He did point out
though. that very shortly the
use of postal codes in ad-
dressing letters could be made
'mandatory to improve the
efficiency and most people
would not be prepared for the
procedure.
"Only 40 per cent of the
people are using postal codes
and since it will become
mandatory to use them. they
should get into the habit of
us inethem now."
If you were 'one of the un-
fortunate people to miss the
Open House. you just may have
lo wait until the next 100 years
roll by because last week's
event was arranged in con-
junction with Clinton's Cen-
tennial Celebrations and will
probably not be repeated next
year

Yes August is here, and if
being away most of July is any
excuse for "no news for the
paper" *I have it.
Bill and 1 spent three weeks
seeing some of this BIG laid we
live in, On 3une 28th, we left by
car, took the Chi •Cheernaun
from Tobermory to %Nth
Baymoutb. and then took the
Lake Superior route through
Ontario. The scenery was just
as pretty as we had been told it
would be. We crossed the
Manitoba border at 10 a.m.
Monday morning and by 4:15
that afternoon we were in
Saskatchewan. July 1st we
reached my sister's home in
Calgary.
Here we visited with Dr.
Gordon and Liz Tebhutt, toured
Heritage Park on Wednesday
and then left for Edmonton
where we called on Everett and
Chris Lobb on Thursday.
Friday we spent in Jasper Park
where we took the gondola up
Whistler Mountain, stopped at
the Columbia Icefield, Lake
Louise (which was COLIn
Banff Park and babk to
Calgary. The mountains were
beautiful and we really enjoyed
this drive. On Sunday evening
we took in the Stampede and
Monday evening we saw
Calgary from the Tower. Then
tor a change, we took the C.P.
train to Vancouver. This a
great way to see the Rockies
but it is fi long trip (19 hours).
rn nciiiekr, as We: weret�jL-
tel. 13i11 turned around' and
there were Mr. and Mrs. Ozzie
Andrews from Clinton, Ontario.
While in Vancouver we
visited with some friends and
then took the ferry toVictoria.
Since it was almost impossible
to get the car over with us. we
took the biig trotr tdouble
decker) to the Butchart Gar-
dens.and the City Tour. This
let_i_she highlight of the trip.
While" -Waiting- fa -the -return --
ferry we saw Mr. and Mrs.
Gord Harkes from home.
Once we learned it would cost
us only $20 more to fly back to
Calgary, we thought it would be
-nice to see the Rockies from the,
air. and Saturday morning we
took a Air Canada plane which
only took a little over an hour to
make the distance.
On Sunday July 13th. we went
to the Hot Springs in Banff but
it rained too hard to see much
more. Monday morning we left
for home via Lethbridge.
crossing the border at Coutts
c
into the U.S.A., south to
Yellowstone Park. The
Mammoth- Hot Springs, Old
Faithful, buffalo, moose a beer
and cub, snow along the road
and deer were the main things
we saw. 'Fro:niter* we headed
for Cody to Greyb.ull and on
toward Sheridan. The narrow,
hairpin ctirves up the mountain
through Shell Canyon is one bit
of road we won't forget for a
while.
After all night diTve (no
motets ' with Et: vacancy) we
stopped at Rapid City. Here we
went to Mr. Rushmore and took
in the Grehound Races. About
50 miles east of here you come
to Wall which is worth seeing.
The rest of the trip took us
throug,h Souix Falls, Souix City,
Des Moines, Iowa City,
Chicago, Kalamazoo, Pod
Huron and home. This trip has
been a dream for Bill for along
time and like everyone else.
feels it is nice to go at least
once.
Personals
Op our arrival home, we
learned that most of the neigh-
bourhood had been travelling
as well.
Don and Alison Lobb,
Stephen and Devitt were also on
a trip West via the United
States. They were in
Yellowstone Park a day or two
ahead of us, entering from the
south and leaving at the north
entrance. They drove to
Vancouver where they visited
