Lindsay Post: Canadian rural mail carriers have been granted what amounts. to the civil service holiday slate. In some quarters this action on the part of the Post Office Depart- ment may be regarded as a vote- catching dodge. But whether it is or not, few can nd fault with the principle involved. The life of a ru- ral mail carrier is a hard one at the best of times. This is especially true in those parts of the continent where `severe weather and heavy snow make winter delivery a difficult task. There is , too, a` monotony about the duties ofthe rural mail carrier that makes people shudder. It is true that the automobile has brought some relief in this respect, but in many districts Old Dobbin is still the propelling force used by His` Majesty's mails. In most instances the rural mail car- rier is a particularly faithful type of public servant. He soon becomes well acquainted `with the families living along the route and is anxious to give them good service. They,;in turn, look upon the mail man as a friendly visitor, and take a personal interest in his_ welfare. Under" the circum- stances, it is extremely unlikely that farmers, who are chiefly concerned, in the new regulations, will raise any protest. -.

The custom of make- believe, that witches, goblins, and spir- its are abroad that night, the witches, etc., beingmpersonated by youngsters, is a custom centuries old and practised in every civilized country, and if.cer- _i:ain unsympathetic citizens think they can put any stop to it they are foolish- ly mistaken.
