The meeting theme tied in with the International Year of Disabled Persons, and the worship service was written by Rev. Walter Gib, who is blind.

He is blind so that God's power might be seen at work in him". It was presented by Dianne Kirton, Debra Rathwell and Bar- bara Consitt.

You don't need reminding that almost everything costs a lot more now than it did almost 3 years ago — the time of the last postal increase. But. can you imagin how much operat• ing costs have risen the postal system that serves the second largest country in the world" The cost of operating and fueling our vast transportation network, the cost of essen• ' tial equipment and the cost of our work- force have all risen substantially. In spite of our best efforts, the combined effects of these increased operating costs have brought Canada Post to the point where it does not have the financial resources necessary to follow through on important steps being taken to improve service. Some of the steps we want to take are Introduce more extensive quality control aiming at a consistent mail service within Canada. Implement a new service -monitoring process which will improve reliability Expand letter carrier delivery within many communities to provide more complete service. Increase the availability of specialized mail services such as Priority Post, Special Delivery and Electronic Mail Taking positive action. By soon becoming a public corporation. Canada Post will have the freedom to operate a a more responsive and efficient business.and eventually stop being a sub sidized arm of government with its resulting burden on the taxpayer But no business can be healthy or effi cient if it fails to recognize and adapt to me economic realities in which it must f' Inchon And the present reality is that the existingopostal rates do not reflect the costs involved in running Canada s mai) service the way it should be run It is for this reason that Canada Post plans the implementation of new postal rates early next year Some of these planned rates can be seen in the following table: 1st Class letter in Canada 0-30 gm 30C 1st Class letter t� U S A 0.30 gm 35¢ Parcel Post same city 1 kilo 51 10 1st Class Parcel e g Montreal to Vancouver 1 kilo Sri 35 Special Delivery 51 plus 1st Class Postage Canada Post has a national respoosibility to provide the most reliable and complete mail service possible. The implementation of these new rates is necessary if revenues are to be brought more in line with operat- ing expenses... necessary to ease the burden of a deficit on the taxpayer.•And most important of all, necessary to allow Canada Post to become. through improved service. one of the best mail systems in the world.
