Six-week postal sari e hurt manyb sinessmen in Huron By Stephanie Levesque Most people agree the six- week ixweek postal strike was an inconvenience, but there were some businesses in Huron and Perth Counties that were 'affected more strongly. Agri -Book Publishing Co. Ltd. of Exeter, while not affected directly, editor Peter Darbishire said the company lost its goodwill with both readers and ad- vertisers. The company publishes 35 magazines a year, 20 being their own publications. The editor said if the strike had gone onfor another two weeks, it would have had more effect on the company. The editor said there are 130,000 individual recipients of the company's publications, causing the company to rely heavily on the mail service. One magazine has its readers in Western Canada Serious consideration, Mr. Darbishire said, would be given to some other form of getting the magazines to the readers. The editor said he sent a letter to the Post-, master General Andre Oullette and Huron Bruce MP Murray Cardiff and Huron Middlesex MPP Jack Riddell in regards to the remark made that small businesses should not rely on - the postal service. Brenda Donner, publicity director for, the Blyth Summer Festival said the Festival did not notice any. difference in ticket sales, noting that audiences were up this year. She said there were more tickets purchased over the phone and reserved by credit card. Ms. Donner added that there was more strain on the box office prior to the per- formance with many more people picking °their tickets • up at that time. She said from the publicity end, there was less on the national scale.' Normally, Ms. Donner said she mails out 200-300 press releases and other mail per week and it was either dropped or she delivered itin person. McGavin Farm Equip- ment of Walton didn't notice any . big differences. Neil McGavin said the period of time in which the strike'was on is normally a,slow period for the company. He com- mented that the company collected.. cheques in person and the money was in his hand a lot quicker. "I can't say we suffered too bad," said Mr. McGavin. He said being in a smaller community helped as some of the mail got around. Mr ,McGavin said he didn't know whether advertising in. a newspaper was helpful during the strike as many people didn't receive their newspapers. Newspapers did feel an effect from the strike. One newspaper in Huron County reported that a subscriber Thad bundled all his papers back and marked that they were too late. The newspaper had to pay the postage anyway. One newspaper company, Wenger • Bros. Ltd. of Institute members tour county museum in Goderich Tiger Dunlop Women's In- stitute members chose as a special outing in August - an' afternoon, at the Goderich Museum.

Displays were labelled foreasy viewing with many of them behind glass doors or fenced off from viewer's touch. The. larger machines and engines were accessible to the public for viewing from all angles. The afternoon went all too quickly while ' members viewed the bird and native animal displays as they entered, proceeding upstairs and downstairs and finally to the china cabinet and its con- tents of dishes in the hall. It was a very interesting and educational afternoon. As a climax, members en- joyed lunch at the Goderich Restaurant.
