Post office change delays papers K change in post office proce­ dures led to Auburn subscribers of The Citizen receiving their paper later than normal the last two weeks. As part of a 100 km. mail route drive by The Citizen’s mail crew on Tuesday nights to ensure that subscribers receive their papers Wednesday morning, papers des­ tined for Auburn have been left at the Clinton Post Office for the past year or more. Usually these papers were sorted in time to be put on a truck bound for Goderich and Auburn. However, in the past two weeks workers at the Clinton post office have been arriving just slightly later than before and as a result the bags have not been put on the Auburn-bound truck.
