economically viable by bringing
more customers into stores, cus
tomers who hopefully will buy
other things while they are there,
Mr. Craig said. He saiJ that in
Huron division, covering most of
the southwest of Ontario, there
have been only three failed RPO’s
among the nearly 140 RPO’s in the
region.
Mr. Craig admitted the change
was a fait acomplis, that Canada
Post had already made a business
decision and called the meeting to
let people know. Since the change
was so minor in people’s service
this time,- he said, there really
didn’t need to be a meeting at all.
Most of the people seemed to
agree. The polite questions dealt
mostly with general gripes about
postal service and not about chan
ges at the Ethel post office.
