In these plants a monthly average of about 31,70Q pensons wene employed with a payrali in the industrv et about $150,- 000,000 in 1958. "'Emplayment in the early higher than at any time in 1958," said Mr. Jarnes G. Dykes, Genenai Manager et the Can- adian Automobile Chamber af Commerce today. "In the last twe months et 1958 employ- ment was 2,000 highen than the average fon the year and thîs will probably be carried throug'n inta 1959. Further increases are expected in the Spring, the ma- jor seliing tirne et the yEan:."r "We estimate that there ar new 4,7 million vehicles in uý,e in Canada-3,575,000 cars n 1,075,000 trucks", said Mr Dykes. "«These nepresent a ve- hidle for every 3.5 persan and a pas.senger car for every 4.7 persans." Mr. Dykes said that matar. vehicle sales in 1958 numbered about 370,000 cars and about 67,000 trucks. "As the new year begins dealers' stocks are law and orders high. There are many indications that total sales in -1959 will reach 475.000 i-perhaps even higher." It was pointed out that the domestic vehicle manufacturers 1remitted ta the federal govern- ment about $130,000,000 in sales and excise taxes, and Mr. Dykes said, "One continuing deterrent ta the autornotive industry is the excise tax on passenger au- tomobiles. This, discriminatory levy has been up and dawn ever the years, now stands at 7V2%, and should be removed. There is no reasen why the passenger 1car shauld be taxed as a lux- ury, and there is no ether jus- tification for the tax." Blaàckstock Postmaster Hus Served 30 Years A great change in the volume of mail at Blackstock Post Office is reported by Charles G. Ven- ning, who has been postmaster ton the past 30 years. "The sale et stamps for Christ- mas cards has isen from 2,000 ta 10,000," said Mrs. Venning. Mn. and Mrs. Venning have eperated the Blackstock Post office for the past 30 years, as et Dec.'ý 22. Concerning the stamps, Mrs. Venning said that the stamps sold for one cent 30 years ago. The 30 years Mn. Venning bas been postmaster are consecutive, with the exception et 1940 when he was an instructor during the Second World War. He aise served in the First Werld Wan as a lieutenant. Service Medal 1In 1953 he received a 25-year service medal tramn the govern-, ment. In 1923 Mr. Vennlng married the fermer Ella Ferguson, and in December, the same year, they teok over the pest- office. The post office has been at its present location for 21 years. It was first located whene the mifl is now iocated. In 1928 there were 50 box- holders. Now there are 75, al- though population bas net in- creased ta any great extent. The population ef this hamiet is approxirnately 250. Children Asslst Mn. and Mrs. Venning have five children, Garny, Joyce, Nora, and Wayne and Linda at home. Everyone in the family, with the exception et Linda, who is 12, is deputized ta work in the post office and, duringi the Christmas rush, they help sort the mail. There are ne rural routes op- erating eut of Biackstock paost office. The mail cornes ta Burketon station by train and is trans- ported ta Blackstock and other rural post offices by mail truck. The outgoing mail is taken te Bunketon by truck, and then by train it gees ta Tarante. No Equipment Change An interesting feature of the Blackstock Post Office is the equipinent used. The boxes are the same cnes that were used 30 years age. Even the letter open- et and the stamper are the arig- inais. Through post office communi- cations, the Venning family is in contact with aimant eveny resi- dent every day. Mr. Venning is looking forward te many more years as the Blackstack Post- master. By Eve Edy During rny teaching career1 back in the bush I had three adventurcs with welves. In thc first - my initiation - I was merely a spectater tram a safe vantage point. Mn. and Mrs. Henderson, with whom I boarded, had gene atter supper te the village feur miles away ta buy the wcek's groceries. I went upstairs te bcd and was sean asieep. I was waken- cd by the frantic barking et the dog. Then he began whin- ing and cryifg and jumping against thc kitchen deor. I heard a bedlarn et sound coming rapidlv nearer and I rushed te look eut the win- dow. In the dlean bright meen- light against the white snow, I saw a deer corne down the hili and cross the barnyard. I cauld tell it was nearly spent. Following after, came a pack et six or eight wolves, loping easily along. The deer headed eut acress a smali lake ncarby which was frozen hard at this time et year. The moonlight was bnight enough for me te sec when the wolves circied in for the kili. Next merning at the break- fast table I told what I had seen. Mn. Henderson went out ta the scene and returned wi!h a fine set off antiers. He otter- ed thern te me but I shoolçC my head. It was my tirst major experience et the cruelty ot nature and I was net yet cal- loue about such traged ie. My second expenience with wolvcs was much tee close for cernfor t. The scbool-house steod up on a hill-top. A few-years before, the raad had been changed to circle around the foot et the hill. There was a ffootpath tram the scheol yard down through a thick grewth et cedars near- ly a quarter off a mile ta the new road. I had stayed late at school and it was dark when I lett. I heard wolves howling up be- hind the school. As 1 startei down the path te the road I heard a slight sound an ane side then on the other. I thought I could sec vague shapes in the dira light. I was absolutely tee petnified to run! Suddenly I heard sleigh- belîs. Two men were coming with a load et legs. They had been resting their herses and had heard the wolves hewlin.g. I screamed frantically and anc et the men carne nunning te meet me waving hie lantcmn and shouting. We distinctly saw in the lantern, light a gaunt gray shape slipping away. My rescuer went in threugh the bushes with his lantern and found many fresb tracks on both sides ot the path. I didn't stay atter school any more. I didn't tancy baving the wolves sec me home. Net that kind ef wolves! In my third advcnture, so rnuch happencd at once I had ne tirne te be frightened ef the wolvcs. It was several years laten and I wvas teaching in a ditter- ent school section. Here tee, wolves were net uncommon and it was what old-timers called "a hungry winter". I was boarding with Mr. and Mrs. Williamns who had a dau- ghter Mary rny ewn age. Mn. Williams was dnawing eut woed and anc Satunday atternoon Mary and I decided te go along ton a sleigh-ride. We lefft atter dinner. It was a dlean pleasant day.
