Jinks, 78, prominent resident of Hensall for over fifty years, and who has been rural mail courier op R.R. 1, Hensall, for 34 years, is retiring the end of this month, owing to ill health. Mr. Jinks drove 27 miles daily, and this adds up to a total of 33,696 miles he has driven in the period of 34 years. He recalls that in earlier years when he drove his car in the sum- mer and horse and cutter' in the winter, he,had to go through snow- drifts six and seven feet high, and had to go ahead of the horse to break a road, while patrons watch- ed him through their windows. He .also recalls ' a patron who •on several stormy occasions, would phone his residence, refusing to give his name, ask if the mailman had left for the route, and when asked why he wanted the informa- tion, said he did not want to go to the mailbox in the storm until he was sure the mailman had come. One time when Mr. Jinks was confined to his -home through illness, he .engaged a man to drive for him. and this man stated that the road was so crooked that if it was after dark his headlights would be shining in his back win- dow. Mr. Jinks has noted a lot of changes since he first started the route. There are only about eight or nine original residents on the route left; the younger generation have taken over, and a let of plac- es changed hands. He appreciated the fact that a great many of his patrons remembered him with gifts at Christmas. In addition to being mail courier, he was engaged in the implement business in Hensall for 29 years. Mr, Jinks extends to all his patrons the best of success. Harry Smith, of Hensall, who conducts the community sales here. has been appointed mail courier to succeed Mr. Jinks.

She said now that alloca- tions are clone away with in the W.M.S. societies, that our giving is. a matter between God and our- selves. We are living in an age of high prices, but no matter how high the prices, we, never pay the whole price. We pay for the good things of life with cash, but they have been paid for with blood. Every great highway's, every great bridge many' great buildings have cost the lifeblood of some one. The cost . of` -maintaining churches, of keeping Missionaries in foreign and borne fields of Work .•among the young and old, and,many other needs related to our-W;.1GI.S. sock - ties, cost money.
