Mr. Cardiff recalled that he had cited Exeter’s need for a new ad­ dition last year during Cpmmons con­ sideration of Public Works Depart­ ment estimates. He had understood then that Public Works Minister Winters would send an engineer to Exeter an make an estimate of what was* required. Exeter had a good post office build­ ing, but the community had grown to such an extent that the accommo­ dation no longer was large enough. One reason for this, was the fact that Centralia Airport was near by and many of the air station’s person­ nel lived in Exeter. A new post office was needed in Hensall and as far as the Govern­ ment was concerned, it had agreed that one should be built. The Huron MP asked the minister to investigate both situations.
