Â¥ __.._‘.._‘ _ A , #4.‘ n- On September 18th, Mrs. Cos- toff also received a letter from the office of the Postmaster Gen- eral igned by an Executive As- sistant which acknowledged re- ‘ceipt of a copy of a Petition pro- testing the removal of the Yonge- hurst Post Office from its origin- al location to Weldrick Road. The letter goes on to promise that, “The representations of the pe- tioners will be looked into at once by the Department."

Department had no alternative Mr. Hamilton wrote at some length in an attempt to justify the change of location of Yongehurst Post Office. Mr. Hamilton says that he carefully perused the newspaper clippings he had re- ceived concerning this change. He lated, “In general I would say the matter is fairly well covered in the newspaper article.” Mr. Hamilton went on to declare that “you and Mr. Craigie were the only applicants for the office.” Confirms Age Limits GPO Promise Investigation On October 8th, Mr. Pearson again wrote to Mrs. Costoff saying, “the district Postal Director in the Tor- onto area has been requested to look into this personally and make a report, because they are concerned too about the fact that some of the residents have been upset about this change. On September 24th, Mr. Pearson wrote to Mrs. Cos- toff in a letter in which he said, “Thank you for sending me the editorial and stories from “The Liberal” about Yongehurst Post Office. I will be glad to look into this”. Report Is Requested tion in the Federal Parliament has perSOnally intefested himself in the case of the change of location of the Yonge- hurst Post Office. Opposition Leader Pearson Investigating The Sudden Moving Oi Yongehurst P.O. HON. LESTER 13. PEARSON, Leader of the Opposi- Mr. Hafifilton went on to state that, “In the case of Yongehurst Post Office, because you had passed the age of 60 years the Department had no alternative but to consider you as ineligible for the position. As the only other applicant was Mr. Craigie, his ap- pointment was authorized.” Claims No Inconvenience In this letter Mr. Hamilton conâ€" firmed that the Post Office Dept. established some months ago a policy of replacing all postmast- ers who reach the age of 70 years. “At the same time a maximum age of 60 years was established for appointment to a position of postmaster." This was considered a reasonable maximum explained the Postmaster General, “as it would pe‘ovide a tenure of office of at least 10 years for am; post- master." Craigie Appointment Authorized Mr. Hamilton claims that the new site is only 500 yards from Yonge Street and does not there- fore inconvenience a majority of the patron’s “In any event,” cons cluded the Postmaster General, "as there was no other eligible applicant the Department had no choice but to appoint Mr. Craigie, which involved removal of the office to another location." Department Ignores Facts As Mrs. Costoff and her daugh- ter point out in making these la- test developments available to “The Liberal." the Postmaster General has tried hard to put up a satisfactory case for the Depart- ments action but the correspon- dence totally ignores a number of facts which Mrs. Costoff and her family and a large number of local residents and patrons of the Post Office want answered. Mrs. Costoft - Depnrtmenu Choice! With these new facts available tthboundtobesuggestedthat First the Inspector, Inspector McKay who first came to Yonge- hurst Post Office following the resignation of Mrs. Costoff's son. was given first the name of Mrs. Costoff’s daughter as the retiring Postmaster's recommendation for appointment as Postmistress. Had Mr. Costoff’s proposal been pad- opted the unhappy events which have followed would never have occurred. But it was the Inspect- or who suggested that the moth- er's name would be the better one to put forward. If the Inspector was aware of the policy of the Post Office not to appoint anyone a- bove the age of sixty, why in fact did he suggest that Mrs. Costoff’s name be put forward when from the point of View of the regul~ ations, her daughter was a more eminently suitable candidate. Was There Motive? Mrs. Costoff told "The Liberal" that she is pleased Mr. Lester Pearson has taken a direct inter- est in the matter and hopes the result of the enquiry now afoot will lead to the transfer of the post office hack to its original location with either herself or her daughter appointed as Post- mistress. She feels strongly that such a move would be in the best interests of a majority of resi- dents because of the obvious sup- eriority of the Costoff Store so far as convenience of location is concerned. .Serlous Step . Inadequate Notice The fact that the daughters name was first put forward under- mines the statement by the Post- master General that there was no other eligible applicant. Mrs. Rita Thomas. Mrs. Costoff’s daughter, is an eminently suitable applicant and her appointment would not have necessitated the change of location of the Post Office, and because Mrs. Costoff assists in the store, her valuable Post Office experience would still have been available. It is a fact that every- one. even those who have bene- fitted by the change have been complimentary concerning the ef- ficiency of the administration of the Post Office during Mrs. Cost- off’s brief tenure of office. Mrs. Costoff Sworn In The next point which the Post. master ignores is that his officials visited the Costoff Store and swore in 'Mrs. Costoff as Post- mistress. that in doing so no men- tion was made that this was to be a temporary appointment and fur- thermore no notice in writing was ever given to Mrs. Costoff ter- minating the appointment. Unseemly Haste In the now famous phrase, it was a case of “It’s Going - It's Gone!" â€" verbal notice from an unknown Inspector and ten days later the office had gone, before Mrs. Costoff or the local press or anyone else could do anything at all about it. As residents have since accused, this was done in a manner which can only be described as with “unseemly haste." Quite naturally residents wotuld be and are considerably up- 39 repartments Figures Inaccurate A very unhappy situation has{ arisen because the Post Office De- partment took the serious step in changing the location of the Post Office without adequate no-4i tice, without consulting the in~‘ terests of the residents concern-‘ ed, and without a full knowledge of the facts, and therefore it is up to them declares Mrs. Costoff to properly investigate and to ex- plain its actions. In particular, Mrs. Costoff wants to know whyI an official of the Department sug- ' gested her own name go forward instead of the name of Mrs. Thomas as suggested by the retir- ing postmaster, when the Inspec- tor must have been aware of the Post Office policy in the matter of age. It was really this sugges- tion which started everything off to the unsatisfactory conclusion finally reached. Mrs. Costoff also ' wants to know, why, if the post office was applying the policy now outlined, they did not advise her of the fact at the time, when it would still have been pos- sible to substitute the name of her daughter, instead of pressing on swearing her in as Postmist-: ress only to relieve her, without; explanation just a short time la- ter. Advertisement No One Saw! Furthermore the Postmaster General is obviously unaware of the true position with regard to location since it is not simply a matter of five hundred yards to Yonge Street, but to be added is the fact that there is then a drive up Yonge Street and down the roads being serviced by the Post Office. The total distance involved is therefore much more than 500 yards. Enquiry Now Moot , And if the vacancy was adver- tised unknown to the Costoff's why was this so. All these facts worked in favour of Mr. Craigie andr against the Costpff's. there was a motive, and that the motive was to provide an excuse for the subsequest removal of Mrs. Costoff from the appoint- ment. Certainly if the Inspector was aware of the Post Office pol- icy he did an ill service to the family and to all the patrons of the post office by suggesting that Mrs. Costoff’s name rather than her daughters be put forward. Mrs. Rita Thomas - Applicant Mrs. Costoff says she has noted all the nice things said of her by Mr. Craigie. and in any of her remarks she wishes to make it clear she is in no way reflect- ing upon Mr. Craigie or his store. What she is complaining of, is the general activity of the department in this whole affair because there is so much which appears to be inexplicable and remains unex- plaified TU. 4-3211 53 Yonge N OIL FURNACES CLEANED Herridge Electric SERVICED AND Buy two or three at this low price.
