the corporation, or contractors who are sup-
plied materials and sell them on
commission.
Running the post office on this basis, a
person can expect to earn as little as 56 to 84
cents an hour, Mrs. Higgs added.
"If no one takes it on at this rate of pay,.
then you will automatically get a super
mailbox. As a result, you will -have to go to
Clinton to buy stamps, pick up registers or
pick up parcels," she stated.
Mrs. Higgs also warned the°group that
they could be hurt economicallyif their post
office is takers away.
"We all know that if you're going to Olin -
ton to pick up your mail, you're going to
shop in Clinton, and do other things in Clin-
ton," she said, adding that the eight or nine
small businesses in the village Will be hurt.
"There are 11 (post offices) in the Huron
area under review, and there is a great
possibility they will be gone unless we can
stop them, I think people have to work to
save them, or they will be gone," Mrs. Higgs
said.
She urged the local residents to write their
members of parliament, sign petitions and
do some yelling to save their post office.
After bringing the crowd up to date on
possible changes that can take place, the
meeting was thrown open so the people
might voice their concerns.
One man in the crowd noted that he goes
through Brucefield every day for work and
stops off at the post office onthe way
through.
"I think it's a dirty deal if I have to go all
the way to Clinton. If I have to drive to Clin-
ton to buy a stamp, it's a bunch of
malarcky."
It was also pointed out that the rural post
office is a tradition, and'Yf itis taken away, it
will be the end to part of the village's
culture,
"I think there are three things in any com-
munity that hold it together. We're in one
tonight, and the other two are the post office
and the store. I' recognize what they do for
this community. We have to look at what
this community would be like if we lost
them," one concerned citizen, John Broad -
foot said.
The gathered citizens showed they fully
supported Mr. Broadfoot's sentiments when
a show of hands was taken at the end of the
.meeting. When the group was asked if they
would like to see the post Office remain ex-
actly as it is, every hand lathe building went
up, and many people put up both hands. The
group also lined up immediately after the
meeting to sign petitions.
In three weeks time, a meeting is eX-
petted to be arranged with representatives
of the post office to hear their side of the
story, and to let these representatives here
how Brueefielders feel about the change.
In the interim, though, Mrs. Higgs said
the residents should get busy writing to their
MPs, to the frost office and to their MPPs.
She explained Rural Dignity can help
them out with advice,but they can't do all of
the work for them.
"You've had. these services all these
years, it's hard to believe you're going to
lose them. You are going to lose them," she
cautioned.
