Friends were pleased to receive a visit from Mrs. Lauder Hamil- ton (Florence Craig) of Colgan who was in this neighbourhood not long ago; Margaret Champion, a pupil at Buttonville School last year, is a student at Markham High School this year. The line dividing Thornhill and Markham High School districts runs through the Champion farm, so Margaret has had to be Spearated from her for- mer school mates this year.

B. 2 Gormley Phone AXminster 3-6188 ELSIIUARE BANEE OPENING PARTY In these circumstances the Craigies are very upset that this accusation should be made. They refute it completely. Legion Notice As to how the Craigies came into the picture with regard to the local post office. has already been explained in these columns. Following our report last week concerning a doubt as to whether there was at any time a notice on the Legion notice board. Mr. Crai- gie told “The Liberal" he had not claimed that “a friend” saw such a notice on the 'board. THE MATTER OF THE Y ONGEHURST POST 0F- FICE continues to simmer and is proving very upsetting to a large number of people. Accusations have been flying back and forth and all sorts of suspicions have come to the surface. This is the regrettable result from the Post Office Department's action in arbitrarily switching the location of the Yongehurst Post Office from Yonge Street to Wel- drlclc Road, from Costoif's Store to Craigie’s Store. Political Motive Reflted! it has been suggested that the only motive for the change could be of political origin. However Mr. James Craigie and his wife state that they have never at any time assisted a Conservative Can- didatc in a political election, they have served on no committees and except for casting their own votes according to their conscience have not at any time participated in local of provincial or national pol- itics. They state furter that they have not even allowed politics to anfluence their choice of candi- ate. ‘ ' so far as facts had been published the whole matter was at a most unsatisfactory point and some- thing should be done to clear the air because two innocent families were being placed under strain unfairly. (All! sides seemed to be agreed that both the Costoi't’s and the Craigies were splendid peo- ple and an asset to the local com- munity.) It was too bad something 11k.- this should set them at odds and stir up opposing factions. Everybody would like to hear from. the Post Office Department direct and official with an explan- ation which all concerned could What Mr. Cralgle actually said w 3 that someone telephoned him to advise that there was a notice on the board and that the caller added. “why don't you apply?" He went on to explain that so far as he was concerned he had no strings, no pull anywhere, no political friends. he had heard there was a vacancy because Mrs. Costoff's son was resigning as postmaster and Mrs. Costofi h‘erself was "too old.” He had therefore made an innocent and normal application not knowing whether he would succeed or not. He admitted that he had not ex- pected to succeed. He was pleas- antly surprised when advised he would get the post office and he likes the work although financial- ly is nothing much to it. Post Office Owes Explanation Mr. Craigie says that the whole matter rests. with the Post Office Dept. Any explanations which should be given should properly come from the Federal Govern- ‘ment. They have voted for the candi- date they thought would do most for the district regardless of his politics. Mr. Craigie said the caller whose voice he did not identify referred to him by his Christian name, saying. “Eh, Jim, do you know . . . ." Mr. Craigie assumed as anyone would that it was a friend. He accepted the authentic- ity of the advice without further investigation and lodged an ap- plication with the Post Office Dept. He says that he heard no- thing until a Post Office official called to advise that his applica- tion had been accepted. The of- ficiai asked, "When can you be ready?" Mr. Craigie replied, “In about ten days.” Ten 'days later the post office was transferred from Costoff’a Store 'to Craigie’s Store. “Not For Million Dollars” Mr. Craigie told "The Liberal" “Had I known that Mrs. Castoff wanted the office so much & had been sworn in and would be so upset, I would not have applied for it, not for a million dollars." He said that now the move has been accomplished and people have made arrangements accord~ ingiy. they should not now at this late data be further in- convenienced by a move back to the old site. He claimed that with local subdivision development the present site would eventually prove ideal and most convenient II 3 the largest number of residents. He agreed however that on the basis of published reports it would seem that Mrs. Costoif was entitled to an explanation of more satisfaction than she had so for received. He also agreed that no-one had carried any complaint con- cerning Mrs. Costotf to him. He felt that most people were set- tling down to the situation and my further disturbance would be very upsetting indeed. “Grosst Unfair and Untrue Mr. R. James who lives at 64 Weldrick Road told "The Liberal" that while he had advised Mrs. Costoff he was satisfied with the ori inal location of the Post Of- fic and quite content with the excellent service she rendered to the public, nooone has since ap- proached him to seek his opinion for or against the change. He said that the suggestions made against Mr. Craigie were grossly unfair and untrue and that Mr. Craigie had as a result been most upset. Patrons Still Seeking Reason For Move Of Yonqehurst Post Office Sign: 0! Strain He said that he thought Mr. Craigie was beginning to show signs of strain because of the pressure under which he had la- boured since the unfortunate con- troversy had developed. Mr. James said he was as content now with the service he received from Mr. Craigie as he had formerly received from Mrs. Costoff and he supported Mr. Craigie’s sug- gestion that now the move had been effected. it would do no good to make still another. “There really would be a riot" was his attitude. Right or wrong the change has been made, people had made new arangements and would not like to go through it all again. '“Most Unsatisfactory" Nonetheless Mr. James agreed that on the basis of the situation Since she occasionally takes the round trip. Mrs. Campbell thought she was becoming used to sun prises contained in those innocent looking country mail boxes â€" the odd bundle of magazines left by a neighbour. starling's eggs de- posited ln s robln's nest, bread and cookies left by a baker un- able to negotiate a muddy farm lane. Then an aging fish and a dead alley cat placed by prank- sters. so far as facts had been published the whole matter was at a most unsatisfactory point and some- thing should be done to clear the air because two innocent families were being placed under strain unfairly. (Alli sides seemed to he- agreed that both the Costoffs and the Craigies were splendid peo- ple and an asset to the local com- munity.) It was too bad something ilk.- this should ee‘t them at odds and stir up opposing factions. Everybody would like to hear from. the Post Office Department direct and official with an explan- ation which all concerned could accept so that the matter could be finally settled without reflection upon anybody. Mrs. Costoif believes local resi- dents will be glad to see the Post Office restored to her store and that the temporary inc‘onvenience would be more than offset by the greater convenience throughout winter months in particular in having the Post Office on the main highway. Yet another shock awaited mer- ry-eyed Mrs. Aubrey Campbell of King City as she accompanied her husband on his R. R. 1 mail route along King Township's Fourth and Fifth Concession lines. Rural Surprises In Mail Box! Last week Mrs. Campbell had mall ready in one hand, reached through the car window to open the mail box with the other, then let out a yelp as the cold eyes of a once-live raccoon stared back into her own. “What else can we do? Just put it in the box too", Mrs. Camp- bell reasoned. “He claims the only time these things happen is when I'm along", she said with a chuckle. And what does her husband think about an occupation spiced with the unusual? “What do yqju do with the mall at such time's? she was asked by “The Liberal". .
