The reasoning behind the sudden action of the Post Office Department in moving the Yongehurst Post Office from its former convenient location on Yonge Street to Weldrick Road stilll lacks a proper explanation. In a state- ment last week, Mr. C. A. Gathers M.P.. the Federal Member of Parliament for York North tried to justify the govern- ment’s action by stating Mrs. Costoff’s age was the deciding factor. At no time _R:AA "by Hwy v_- since Mrs. Coston was sworn into office has the Post Office Department ever seen fit to question her age or her abil- ity to carry out her duties. Therefore Mr. Cathers’ reason seems hardly plau- sible. We heard of no complaints re- garding the service rendered by the Costoif family during the ten years they had the post office. - n .,a A At 63 years of age Mrs. Costofi, a widow, is an active woman, alert both in mind and body. During past service at both the Willowdale and Toronto Post Offices she was never told her age made it impossible for her to carry out her duties. Mr. Cathers’ reasoning is in direct contradiction to urgings by the Diefenbaker Government for industry to offer more job opportunities to our senior citizens. 7ft ‘séems hard to believe that in a free democratic society such as ours a This September the Ontario De- partment of Transport will be aiming its Child Safety Campaign at those in regular contact with Ontario's school children - the teachers and parents.

The new location on Weldrick Road one half mile west of Yonge Street will mean the majority of those served by the post office will now have to travel in good weather and bad an added dis- tance to get their mail.

Last year the Child Campaign was aimed chiefly at motorists and parents and exemplified in the themes “Watch for Children," and “Parents, teach them the rules.” This .year a strong approach is beâ€" ing made to the schools where the cam- paign material will help teachers to get the safety mes-sage to'the children and through them to the parents. Emphasis will also be laid on parental responsibil- ity for teaching children correct safety habits and for continuing the safety in- struction each child receives from his teacher in school. Research can tell how many chil- dren likely- will be killed in various ty- pes of accidents. said Dr. Wheatley, but can’t yet single out those more suscept. ible to accidents than others. The research is also delving into types of family life and patterns of socialization, into sex roles and into discipline exercised by parents. A9 Dr. Harold Jacobziner of the New York Health Department said that a- mong children under five years old, nearly seven of every 10 accidental in- juries happen in the homeJTwo leading causes were falls and burns. Poisons were not included in the study. In another study, however, carried out in Syracuse, N. Y., statistics show- ed that the two-year-old child is the most likely victim of accidental poison- mg. Dr. Paul F. Wehrle said the study showed 11 of every 100 two-vear-old children were poisoned acgidontly. ' Various types of medicines caused more than half of the poisonings and in nearly half of these cases the toxic a- gent was flavored aspirin.’ The study showed also that in more than 70 per- cent of the instances, the substance was in its proper container. vfiizirjidrity of the people in the disâ€" ‘HAULED ANYWHERE,‘ ANYTIME FRESH WATER ; 10c single copy 40 LEVENDALE RD” (on.

On a recent visit this column did make a discovery when a little verse on the wall of the police office was noted for the first time. This column drives, has driven in scores of capitals across the world in fact, and so far in complete safety. But we can all learn something useful, a little more of caution â€"â€" While there is yet time â€"â€" from taking this little verse to our hearts. It reads simply, “He speeded to an early grave and never enjoyed the time he saved.” How many times a day all over the world, could this little verse prove the most suitable of epitaphs? You're right too â€"- enough to form an army. Which reminds this column of a certain funny story. Did you ever read a book called, “Baskets of Silver" by Roy Angel]? This column would like to give you one jolly laugh today by recount- ing a story he tells of hearing from a State Governor: “I have one patrolman I wouldn’t swap for any ten patrolmen that any other governor has -â€" not because he is so good at be- ing a policeman, but because he is like Will Rogers. When I get so swamped with the cares of the State, and he comes in off the road from ‘way out yonde’r' somewhere, and that genial face of his peeks into my office and he says, ‘Are you busy, Governor?’ I say, ‘No, come in here. If you've seen anything to laugh about, tell me. for I’m tired and loaded down and need tolrelax a minute.’ “He came in_ the other day and draped himself on the corner of my desk just like I‘ was a fellow patrolman. With a smile on his face, he began to speak. ‘Governor, I saw something funny. I was in Big Stone Gap, and there is a country store out there that is run by Mr» Jim. 3 fine Christian man. When I went in the other day. I saw a big sugar barrel half full of excelsior in the middle of the floor. and an old Dominique hen was setting in it. “ ‘Mr. Jim, what's the idea?’ I asked. " ‘Look under her, patrolman.‘ I reached down and picked her up. Governor, there were two of the cutest little fuzzy white kittens that you ever saw. After I got over my astonishment, I asked him how it happened. " ‘Well.’ he said. ‘the old cat brought a kitten, carrying it by the nape of the neck, and dropped it right in the middle of the floor. She went back and brought another one and looked at. me as if to ask where she should put them. “ ‘And so I put all three of them in the barrel. I needed them to keep the mice away. Then the old cat went out and was struck by a car on the highway. The old Dominique hen came in looking for a place to set. She finally decided to adopt the kittens. I reckon. It was a place to set, and there she is, anyhow.’ “The parolman said, ‘Just about that time a little towheaded boy came in ~â€" one suspender. (tackled face‘ hair down over his eyes. “ ‘Mr. Jim, what you got that old hen settin’ in the middle of the barrel for?’ J “Mr. Jim answered. "Look under her, son.” The boy picked her up, and when he saw those two little white kittens. he froze. He stood perfectly still, staring at the ceiling for half a minute. and then said, 'Mister I done at my last egg.’ ’ then said, ‘Mister I done et my last egg.’ ’ Maybe all of us need the thing that Will Rogers and the patrolman had, the ability to see the humorous things in life, remember them, and pass them along to help lighten burdens and release tensions in this age of missiles, guided and unguided; this age of hot wars and cold wars; this age of hurrying to get somewhere, not knowing why we are hurrying or what We are going to do when we arrive (if we arrive). Yangtze Pagoda 2 Restamant THIS COLUMN does meet people with a sense of humour. Stan Troyer â€"â€" at the sign of the snowman, on Yonge Street North is full of humour. On his counter some of it is displayed. “It’s NEW business we're after; we take GOOD care of the dLD" is one of his catchy phrases. Another reads, “If you can keep a cool head in these times. perhaps you just dont understand the summon.” ‘And look at Bill Stephenson who keeps the Gift Shop on Richmond Heights Plaza. When this column inadvertently re- ferred to him recently as Bill Richardson, and all the folk flayed him alive with their humour, he honestly enjoyed the joke so much that he insisted on having half his advertisement placed upside down last week, as another little joke. Readers must have thought we really did have it in for ‘poor Bill’. So many folk have hastened to draw his attention to ‘our’ error â€"- that he is as certain as a man can be that everybody in Richmond Hill reads “The Liberal". ' And talking about mistakes, every newspaper makes them. The editor of a small town newspaper (not “The Liberal”i was severely criticized because of an error appearing in his paper, and in the next issue he had this to say: “Yes, we know there were some errors in last week’s paper. We will further agree that there were some errors in the issue of the week before but before bawling us out too unmercifully, we want to call your attention to these facts: “In an ordinary. newspaper column there are 10.000 letters, and there are seven possible wrong positions for each letter, making 70,000 chances to make errors and several million chances for transpositions. There are 48 columns in this paper, so you can readily see the chances for mistakes. Did you know that, in the sentence “to be or not to be”, by transpositions alone. 2559,0522 errors can be made?

Overcoming Discouragement One of the most dangerous experiences of life is to undergo discouragement. When the morale is broken down, we are paralyzed into inactivity and become the prey of all kinds of evil forces which work in the world today. It is a great thing to know that there are those who have discov- ered the secret to overcoming dis- couragement. The New Testament bears witness to the men and wo- men who found victory over the discouraging experiences of life. 0 .e of those men was the Apos- tle Paul. Just before he embarked upon his mission to the city of Corinth he tells us that he had a vision, in which he heard the voice of an angel say. “Be not afraid, but speak, hold not thy peace. for I am with thee. and no man shall set upon thee to hurt thee. for I have much people in this place." In’ the words of this promise, Paul was able to find the resources ne- cessary to triumph over the. en- emy of discouragement. It w;s u tremendous promise. Paul was encouraged to believe that God was with him in his work, no matter what the circumw stances. It is a great thing to live in the presence of the Lord. Many o' the grat Christians such as Martin Niemuller, Bishop Dibelâ€" ius. Corie ten Boom, and others. who suffered so terribly during the war in Nazi concentration camps, tells us that the only thing which kept them sane was the realization of the Lord's presence. The God of the Christian faith is not a far off diety. vastly re- ‘moved from us. Those who trust {in Him, not only experience the reality of His iorgivin grace, but the inner assurance 0 His abid- ing presence. Paul was also challenged to “be not afraid." There are different types of fear. Some of them are quite normal, but others are quite destructive to the human person- ality. But if we realize the pres-l ence of God is with us, we need not "go under" when we face the obstacles of life. Many great men experienced defeat at first, but then went on. In his speech in the House of Commons Disraeli evidently made a fool of himself. But he dared to reply, “The day will come when you will be glad to hear me.” Tennyson did not lay down his pen because he was severely criticized by the literary views. Many a man has suffered momentary failure, but has gone 'on unafraid. Another step to overcoming victory is to witness for Christ. Paul was told, “hold not thy peace." As he bore witness to the power of Christ in his own Iife, it lifted him up and strength- ened him. When we begin to tell others of what we have person- ally experienced of the Lord, it is amazing how it stirs the spirit of gratitude in us. We have so much to be grateful for. Often we forget this. But when 'we think about our blessings and tell oth- ers of them, the spirit of discour- agement begins to fade away.‘ We also need to accept our dif- ficulties as a challenge. Napoleon once said of Massena, one‘of his generals, “he was never himself until the battle began to turn a- gainst him. Then he took new life. from what to many would bring utter discouragement. The chall- enge of the struggle gave him fresh incentive to push forward.” Discouragement comes to all of us, but he who brings his diffi- culty to God,_ gan master evefiy .1 ~ _~ experience of life. This was Paul’s experience. It can be yours.
