Clark. On arrival there, however, the fighters found that the neighbors had the fire under control. The cause is claimed to be one of the children lighting a match in a closet while hunting for a book. The damage is very small and cover- ed by insurance.—No further news has been received regarding the tragic accident at Port Colborne, where Wil- liam Stanbury, of Exeter, was drown- ed on Friday night.

When a truck is nothing but a 'whiz and a blur on the middle of the highway, what protection would four red flags or any other ensigns be to the other fellow? We consider our- selves lucky if we hear one corning. Given that opportunity, we don't ask to know and we don't care what that truck contains; we just give it a wide berth on principle, and it is a good plan and a safe one too. These other towns will learn some day that this is good advice. 141 THE PAY OF RURAL MAIL COURIERS A few weeks ago the question of remuneration to rural mail couriers came up for discussion in the House of Commons, when a motion to put. this branch of the Civil Service on a flat salary basis and with pay more in keeping with the work they have to do and the hours and weather con- ditions under which they have to work. This motion was voted down by the Government for the very good reason that to carry out such a plan would entail an additional expendi- ture of several millions of dollars in the distribution of rural mail, where " the expenditure is IC. 1" ODHAGEN VOA 88%; Elsie Denude, 86%; Ralph Me - Nichol, 76% Irene Leonherdt, 117°!0; li Mildred eN'ichol, 5'7%.

The Provincial Government have mov- ed out their engine and bin and the contractor for the new road from Clinton to Kippen has brought in a new outfit of crusher, washer and derrick, and a large body of men are getting things ready for a start in about two weeks.—It is expected that the township crusher will also start work in about two weeks with Mr. W.

Mr. and Mrs. Bannerman, of St. The Expositor believes, and has Marys, visiyd ted with h ttheirwedaughter, Mrs. previously so stated, that the rural mail courier, for the work he does and the conditions under which he has to do this work, is the poorest paid man in the Government employment. At the same time, the remedy for this state of affairs lies largely in the mail .courier's hands. Rural mail routes are let by tender and as long as men continue to tender at such ridiculous -figures as constitute the salaries un- der which the majority are now working, just so long will the pay remain where it is. It is the couriers themselves, who have set the standard of payment, not the Government, and the standard once established, it is going to take a lot of education and a lot of backbone to break away from it. Governments are not the wild spendthrifts many people believe them to be, nor are they to any noticeable extent, given to tender heartedness. When a man tenders to cover a cer- tain route at a certain price, the Gov- ernment may or may not know that the figure is entirely inadequate, but in either case it expects the work -will be done at that figure, and more- over, it will see that it is done. Every man who is covering a rural mail route to -day knows now, if he didn't when he tendered, whether or not he is being paid a living wage for the work he is doing. If he is not, be knows what his next tender should be. and he should put it in at that figure. If he is a good man, as most 'of them are, the boxholders on his route would be wise to take enough interest and to use enough influence to see that his tender is not under- bid. Such co-operation would tend to the advantage of both parties. The boxholder, at present, may not see why he should concern himself in the matter, but the day will come when he will, because the pay of the cour- ier is going to be increased, and in all probability he is going to be ask- ed to furnish a substantial part of that cost for the free service he is 'now receiving.
