Mrs. Ainslie delighted the comp- any with, areading and Rev. J. Crawford gave a brief addresss. During the programme Rev. Dr. Medd was called to the platform aced the folloevitn(g address was anti the following address was read by Mrs, Ta,ckaberry and a pause of Gild presented to him by Mrs. Iler. . "In theprovidenee of God the time has come when our relations as pastor and people are about to Icibse andiwg a'member of yow• friends have gathered this evening to spend another pleasant hour to gether and to convey to you an expression of the very high es- teem. in which yory'amtl your fam ilyn are held among us. an''1 our regret that our association's are so soon to eld.

In that cir- cular the Department makes the fur- ther announcement that where letter delivery is in operation a separate charge of not more than one cent a copy will .be made for the delivery of newspapers by carrier. It is not stated when the'rates referred to will go into effect and it appears the pur- pose of the circular is to force the issue of newspaper postage rates be- fore the next session of Parliament. Section 71 of the Post Office Act, to which reference is made in the De- partment's circular reads as follows: The person to whom any letter Is delivered by a carrier from the Post Office shall pay for the delivery asum. not exceeding two cents for each letter, and for the delivery of each newspaper and pamphlet one cent., all of which receipts by the carriers V. E. MORRILL Sherbrooke Record, member of Execu- tive. in any city or town shall be account- ed for to the Postmaster -General. The newspapermen point out that the rate for delivery by letter carrier authorized by section 71 of the Post Office Act is to be paid by the person to whom the newspaper is delivered rather than the publisher. That pro- vision, they say, is a relic of the days when newspaper postage was collect- ed from the subscriber on delivery. The whole matter of postal rates on newspapers has been discussed by the publishers with the Postmaster - General on several occasions and the action of the Association will be awaited with much interest. The proposal to eliminate all coin - missions and reductions in rates on Canadian general advertising not placed through advertising agencies recognized as ofacial solicitors of general . advertising for the news- papers of Canada is another matter of great importance whichwill be taken up. A standard of newspaper practice ,,, F. MacKay Toronto Globe, Chairman Paper Com- mittee. will be submitted for discussion and adoption. The adoption of such a standard will be a further step in the direction of standardizing Canadian newspaper practice -particularly in relation to advertising. Five provinces and the United States are represented in the list of speakers and newspapermen from all parts of Canada will be at the meet- ing. Forty or fifty members from Western Canada are expected to be in attendance., Among the addresses: to be delivered are: "Who Makes Fraudulent Adver- 'tilling Effective?" by.
