It was 1851 before, as a resuit of many protests, the Canadien government was allowed ta op- erate its own postal service. IFor the first few yeers the epostal charge was paid by the rpersan receiving the latter and there were no stamps. The in. traduction of stamps did much ta increasa the efficiency of the Canada Post Office as did the system of sarting mail on railway cars which wes begun in 1854 seven years before this timportant forward step was taken in the United States. Mail was first picked up Jram latter boxes in 1874, the si5eak- er stated and daily mail deliv- ery was begun. in some coin- munities in 1886. Another im- portant development was the I beginning of parcel post in 1914, Mr. McKnight said. 1 The first air mail service war tstarted in 1927 but discontinu- ed because of the depression. When Trans-Canada Air Lines was established in 1939, the Canada Post Office went back into air mail in a big wey. At i the present time, Mr. McKnigret pointed out, Canada is the nly country in the world in which fîrst class mail is sent by air mail whenever possible at the semae rate at which mail is car-i ried on land. Air parcel post bas now been introducad, he pointed out. The speaker stated that me- chancal equipmaent ta spead the handling o! mail was firsti installad in 1929 and that ever sinca that tîme' the Canada Post Office bas kept in close touch with the latest equip- ment being developed.

Tractors and impleinents n~ow available give control over the work the year 'round and on more arnd more farms there is less anid less need to employ hard-to-get and high-cost farm labour. Mechanization has meant more to the farm than relief from druidgery and freedom from heavy hlurdensome physical toil. Mecha- nization lbas brought a new concept of farming and has given agriculture the greatest lift in years. And mechanization lies contributed greatly to the more wide-spread sharing in higher standards of living. In the advancement of their operations through mechanization farmers have found in Massey- Harris and Ferguson tractors and machines time and labour saving advantages that help them do their work easily, quickly and more profitably.
