Review of Canadian Post Office Work for the Past Year The main Transâ€"Canada Air Line is intersected along its rout by branch lines. These provide communication with those cities and centres lying off the main system and also with the mining areas and new settlements in the far north.. To the south connection is made with the United States lines which, in turn, provide air communiâ€" cation with Central and South Amerâ€" ica, Europe and the Far East. There are fortyâ€"four Air Services carrying the mails in Canada and around 14,180 miles of airâ€"lines. Early this summer the inauguration of weekâ€" ly Air Mail Services between New York, Lisbon and Marseilles made direct Air Mail service possible between any point served by T.C.A. or the branches on the netâ€"work and Europe.

The Director of Public Relations of the Post Office Departâ€" ment travelled with the Royal Train in capacity of Liaison Officer, between the Roval Party and the Press. Culminating the Canadian Post Office‘s coâ€"operation on the Royal Visit, Hon. N. A. McLarty, K.C., then Postmaster â€"General, presented to Their Majeésties, on behalf of the Govâ€" ernment of Canada, certain philatelic gifts prepared under supervision of officials of the Department. Nor was the personal touch lacking during the year by the Department in its relations with the personnel. Last summer the Postmaster General anâ€" nounred that, in addition to Christmas and the New Year, Rural Mail Couriers henceforth were granted as holidays, Dominion Day, Labour Day, Thanksâ€" giving and Good Friday. A review of the Post Office‘s activities during 1939 would not be complete without mention of the part it took during the visit of Their Majesties to Canada in May and June. The outbreak of War found the Post Office Department prepared to repeat its services of 1914â€"18. It took over Censorship of the mails and the Canâ€" adian Postal Corps, recruited from its personnel, is handling the mails for our Canadian Army through the base Ppost Office which has been established. Since assuming charge of the Post Office Department Hon. Chas. G.

Other buildings of note included the Post Offices at Oakville, Ont., Amos, Que., and Peace River, Alberta, while work was started on the Postal ‘Terminal, Quebec, and the Postal Building at Jasper, Alberta. Numerous changes, advantageous to the public, marked 1939. On March 1, (coinciding with the opening of Transâ€" Canada Air Mail), the fee on Special Delivery letters was cut in half, being reduced from 20 cents to 10 cents. To provide cheap means of obtaining reading material through the mails by those residing in the distant North and Northwest, on August 17, Air Mail rates were reduced on newspapers and period (second class matter), this change affecting sixtyâ€"seven places in British Columbia, the Northwest Terâ€" ritories, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Maniâ€" toba and Northern Ontario. with the British Government whereby parcels sent from Canada for members of Canadian, British or Colonial troops are now carried at the rate of 12 cents a nound up to 11 pounds. This is a considerable reduction in the cost of mailing parcels, for those sending gifts to the boys overseas. Shortly after this, the Postmaster Gereral announced that corresponâ€" dence from members of Canadian, Briâ€" tish, Colonial or Allied troops actually serving in the field; and that corresâ€" pondence from â€" sailors aboard His mMajesty‘s ships, or aboard Allied Warâ€" ships; would be delivered to addresses in Canada free from any postal charge. To encourage study and the reading of good books, postage was reduced on April 29 on books circulating to and from recognized public libraries. On June 3 the Department permitted under ceéertain specific conditions, use of the Business Reply Labelâ€"which might be clipped from an advertiseâ€" ment and mailed back to the advertiser without cost to enquirer, just as the 4â€"cent Business Reply Envelopes are. . To Explore High Grade Possibilities at the DeSantis Mr. Power‘s efforts, and as result of his negotiations with the Imperial Postal Authorities arrangements were made Announcement was. made by the Postmaster General that on August 15 the rate on Business Reply Cards for delivery within Canada had been cut to three cents from four cents.

In both Liberal and Opposition circles it was a ‘ foregone conclusion that debate would be particularly acrid over the Governmentâ€"backed _ legislation proposing a twoâ€"year moratorium, as a war measure, on civic elections. Interâ€" views with Liberal members suggested that many were not particularly happy about the proposal, particularly in view of the heavy vote in opposition polled on references to the measure in the municipal elections.
