COULD TT BE WORSE'
The War Tex has forcibly brought
home to 'a great (many the .incompet-
, ent and blundering pnethods oP the
!Post Office Department. The 'extra
war stamp was an unneceissars nuis-
ance and added to that is the notice
sent out 'that (till letters, ,bi1Ls•, vac-
counts, whether in sealed or .unsealed
envelopes. must be handled by the
Post 0.6fice department. This pro-
hibits the `sending of a note or, mese
sage in an 'envelope. to ,your (neigh-
bor. or a scholar dropping off a• -letter
on his way to school. The .butsiness
man .may not send .'an'.accounti or bill
in an iunsealed (envelopee by'. his del-
ivers boy. 'These inconveniences are
not felt by the majority ,whose cor-
respondence or business relations are.
limited but are a. real burden to mans
For instance few ane hit harder than
are ,the creameries. The patrons of
the creameries in this section are
considerably over a thousand if not
over two thousand. Checks: are sent
oat every two weeks aryl ,onlythose
who undertake to affix the war
stamps realize the +added -:nuisance
The cream haulers .h'ave•' always 'de-
livered these checks and the crearo.
statement to the patrons while. , on
their rounds. The Post Office depart-
ment would put a stop to this and
compel the .creameries to use tlai
Wails. and gay. for . that tvhieh in no
\vay helps them but (tt (the, same • time/
would cost a large 'sum each month,.
The postal service in itself 'for this
district could hardly be worse. Let-
ters from the Winchelsea creamery
would have to travel a ,eircuic of
many miles end ,changes before ening
of them would reach patrons practic-
ally right of their doors. Some let-
ters would ,have to go ,to 'Woodham
change and go to St, >1'arys the fol-
lowing day, change again for London
thence to Exeter or fI-Lensall and then,
back again right'Leto the ,territory
of the creamery,. Could you conceive
of anything worse tall through. , it
certainly is absurd and Shows up; the
department a
bad light.

Choir Entertained—The choir or
James street Methodist church were
royally entertained by the Trustee
Board on Prides evening of'last Week
after practise in Wambold's restau-
rant.. They were treated to ice:,creare
•ix Qr e.ocn,.lates, ,etc., and. praati
cally had a ' &See hand in, the,iiselectio:n
of any :.of the luxuries .in the restau-
rant. To be turned loosein a con-
fectionery store has been the ambi-
tion of most of us at .vome period
of our lives and isn't it :surprising to
think how .much we would get away
with if we only had .the chance and
our imagination would lead us to be-
lieve that there would be little left
but empty boxes •find shelves never
for a minute considering that • our
storage capacity would call a halt be-
fore one would notice any shrinkage
in the stock. Well James street' choir
had the privilege for which most of
us have longed and while She good
things were showered upon them there
was no undue imposition on the( kind
generosity of the Trustee Board. To
make the manors linger the members
of the choir, ,young and old .filed out
of the lrestaurant bearing an all day
sucker. .While we think thes ouug
ladies .and ,gentlemen soon made cyweir
work of these latter we wouldn't, ba
surprised if most .of the , married
members remembered. their better
halves at home and shared; with them
this` last luxury. The iservice of song
forms a very valaoble part of the re-
ligious service and we who enjoy this
part of the service do not appreciate
as we 'might the Isacrificicee that• the
members of any choir must a'aake,
both on Sundays and during the week
to keep rip the high:st.atidard of mus -
ie. that is furnished :from ,week to
week.
