A supply on hand at all times, Also kept by W. J, McCracken, Davison's Hard- ware and Farmers' Club Store. Also expect to have a supply at Walton and Ethel, WALTER ROSE 1 v December 1, as follows ; Having reference to his report of; the 23rd , ultimo, on the applicants;. for the position of postmaster at the above mentioned office, the district superintendant now begs to advise' that he haslboen informed by Mr. W. C. Bennett, one of the applicants for the position that he has now purchas- ed the Co-operative store:in Walton in which the Walton post office would be conducted were he to receive the appointment. In this event' Mr. Ben- nett should now be placed in class The 1 may say 'that while The post of• fice is;in South Huron, it is just on the boundary line. In the riding of South Huron there is just this store in which the post office has, been lo- cated for many years, and three or four houses. The village consisting of a few hundred, people is entirely in my constituency of North Huron as in all the rest of the nuslness sec- tions, and, the United Farmers' Co- operative store would be very cen• teal. I am making no attack on the Postmaster General ; I nave nn knowledge that.he has in any way in- terfered with the Civil Service Com- mission, .but this seems to be a case where for same reason or, another a returned .soldier was passed over who, ninety-nine per cent of the peo- ple of the district,believe, should not have been passed over. If he was not a resident there on December 1 and had a store and this matter could very well have been left in abeyance for a while until he had the necessary length of residence. 1 have been asked to bring the matter before the attention of the Postmas ter General. I am making no attack ujpon his administration in this nat- ter, but it seems to be a case where the Civil Service Commission pas- sed over a returned soldier and where the Postmaster General might very well have, used influence. J should be glad if at some time the Postmaster General would give the house a concise statement of what the air mail service has cost the Dominion of Canada to the present date, and what revenue we are deriv- ing from, it. This matter of keep- ing up with the Joneses" and trying to have an air mail service equal to that ,of a county with a population of 120,000,000, is very fine but I have to struggle to get mail boxes for a few farmers and I cannot get them on account of the cost, while at the same time we are placing an item of $800,000 additional in the estim- ates for a play -toy running between Toronto and Montreal which the Postmaster General says very few appreciate and very few ,are patron- izing. I would plead with the Post- master General to get away from the big interests and the moneyed clas- ses and his ear to the ground. Let hint listen to the hon. member from Skeena and other members and grant some of the requests of those who are rolling back the map of this Dominion. Let him listen to those far flung parts of Canada and to bona fide farmers who have to go a mile and a tenth for their mail. Let him get down and serve the masses before he spends millions before each year in the interests of tho clas- ses, and in trying to "keep up with the Jonese" with this play -toy and airmail service. As regards the air mail service between Montreal and Toronto, 1 really think it is a joke where there are three fast trains a dayeaeh way with an excellent mail service. Canada has prospered won- derfully under the old system and 1 nm sure, if the question is one of nn order coming in, it does not take long when you have three fast trains a day, and if it is a dinner that in conning in, the slower it is the better. f would ask the Postmaster Gen- eral, since I have brought the matter to his deputy's attention, to give me same little. explanation for our �pco- ple in the village of Walton, if he tins it at hand. Mr. 'Veniot : I have no explanation at all to give. the Civil ;iervice Com- mission— Mr, Spotter' : Some future thne will be, alright. 4 Spotten : I intend to take up few moments of the time of se, hut I have been asked by or by people who were friends government particulars re - the Walton Post Office. 1 le Postmaster General notice ould be asking for these par - and I desire to know why a soldier was passed overand office given . to a civilian who just moved into the riding a few the .before and had purchased a e there. This is not a case where Postmaster General disapproved the action of the Civil Service ommission—I am not layng that charge at all—but if, the Postmaster General's sympathy is as great as he says it is for the returned soldier, this is a case which he might have held ry from a letter of the district superin- tendent dated November 23, 1928, as follows : 'The applicants given in order of merit from a postal service . stand- point, irrespective of military or resi- dentia: qualifications, are as fol - William Clarence Bennett John McLeod Richard Wright Hoy , Carl William Oakley" John McLeod had just moved into the riding and purchased a store there. He seemed to have the good offices of the members for North Perth (Mr. Hay) and consequently received 'the appointment. it may be said that Mr. Bennett was not re- siding within the village, but I find a letter on my file from W.
