Mail carrier for 52 years The presentation' was made by Mr. Mur- ray at a social evening at Holyrood hall on Tuesday night of last week, Shown be- tween the two men is a special birthday cake made in honor of the event.--Luck- now Sentinel photo. Peter Johnston receives award for long and efficient service Peter Melville Johnston of Lucknow was honored last week for the completion of 52 years in the employ of the C an ad a Post Office. Mr. Johnston has the longest service of any post- al employee or mail contractor in southwestern Ontario and ac- cording to H. F. Murray of Lon- don, district director of postal services for southwestern Ontar- io, it is believed that Mr. John- ston holds the record for the longest service of any rural mail contractor in Canada. It all,began:in January, 1918, when Peter took over mail de livery on R. R. 4, Lucknow from Philip Stewart of Lucknow who operated the route from 1915, when it started, until January of191$. In those days, and for many years -to come, Mr. Jolhlnston also had the contract' for haul- ing the Holyrood mail from the Lucknow train station,, where it was received, to Holyrood. Four years after he started driv- ing Lucknow R. R. 4, it was changed to Holyrood R. R. 3, with the same patrons. Rural route 4 Lucknow ceased to be at that time and has not oper- ated since. So Mr. Johnston's duties were to haul the Holyrood mail from Lucknow to Holyrood siit.l,ays a week, then drive rural route 3 Holyrood; return to the Holy-, rood post office where he secur- ed all the Holyrood mail from his and the other rural routes, and then return with the Holy - rood despatch to Luck Lucknow wheretrain connections were trade. r • He performed these duties until 1956 when the post office changed from railway to truck service. Udder the new syst- em, the mail was hauled .dir- - ,ectly to Holyrood by truck on the main postal run. Mr. John- ston's contract from Lucknow to Holyrood ceased to be at that time but he has continued to drive the R. R. 3, Holyrood route until the present time. Mr. Johnston's original con- . tract was for 26 miles daily. This included the Lucknow to' Holyrood contract. He .now drives 17 miles daily on the R. R •3, Holyrood. In the early days of Mr. John- ston's service, delivery of the mail was by horse and cutter in the winter and horse and buggy in the summer. The procedure I ter- switched to a car in the • '4e``a et "r`r enihs and a Horse and cutter in the winter. in all his years of driving the rYuaf;, om:Lucknow�tc'Holyrood and ethr$ never once did he fail'to get back to Lu ckno w when he set out for Holyrood. He recalls one .occasion when ' • he walked the five miles from Holyrood back to Lucknow.with 'two mail bags on his back. He also remembers early winters • when his horse and cutter ran on. a level, with the phone wires, _such was the depth of the snow. Peter Johnston, in his 52 years of service in delivering mail, wasably assisted through the years by his 'wife. After their family was raised, Mrs. John- ston assisted in driving the route for a number of years with Peter always taking the trip in the winter. In reminiscing on•his years of service, Mr. Johnston said that many of the children he used to give a ride to and from schk ol, are now grandmothers themselves. Tuesday night of last week was a night of recognition for Mr; Johnston at the Holyrood Hall when postal tofficials, friends, relatives and patrons , gathered to pay tribute to his Anniversary couples honored by families BELMORE-- The community this week honors two Belmore area couples who are celebrat- ing wedding anniversaries.
