with cleansing, moisturizing, applying a

roll call which was answered by giving a
money saving idea using a skin care product
or interviewing an older person about the
types of skin care products used. The club
discussed Grooming Aids and the Law,

and "hypoallergenic".

Canada's longest serving rural mailman
says mail service was better 50 years ago
than it is today.
Peter M. Johnston, 87, of Lucknow,
delivered mail on rural route in Kinloss
Township for 57 years and three months.
When he retired in 1975, he was flown to
Ottawa at government expense and given a
standing ovation in the House of Commons.
Officials in the Public Archives of Canada
say they can't find any long service record in
the postal service files to match his.
Despite vast improvements in communica-
tions, travel and road building technology,
Johnston says mail from Toronto and London
arrived at area farms three times quicker 50
to 60 years ago than it does today.
"in 1925 a person could post a letter in
Toronto at 5.30 p.m. It would get to Lucknow
that night, and Pd deliver it on my route the

next morning by 9 a.m.," he says.
"Nowadays if often takes as long as four
days to get a letter from London or
Toronto."
Lucknow municipal clerk Bertha Whitcroft
and several business people in town
confirmed the comment about existing
service.
"In recent years,.. Whitcroft said, "let-
ters to or from Toronto or London often take
four days and I've seen some take as long as
a week, just depending on when they were
mailed."
Johnston says better service existed in the
1920s because all the mail was carried by rail
and there was as many as three trains daily
to and from Toronto and Lucknow, and
interconnecting with London.
During his first seven years on the route
beginning January 1, 1918, Johnston carried
the mail by horse and buggy in the summer
and by horse and cutter in the winter. For 10
years after that he used a car in summer and
horses the rest of the time.
His job was to carry all the mail for his
own and two other rural routes both ways
between Lucknow and the Holyrood post
