and other factors Into con sideration and make adjust ments where warranted We hope the measure will re sult in more equitable treatment for the rural mall couriers of Canada and in this I am sure we will have the wholehearted support and of the people I wish to thank the rural mail carriers in North York who have discussed this problem with me or written me their views and suggestions Their
