Since then the community has grown by leaps and bounds until today the office serves a minimum of 32,000 counting the people in the built-up areas close to the city proper. While the number of people has in- creased the Post Office premises have remained static with but minor changes and improvements. The volume of mail received and despatched far out- grew the facilities of the office with the result that the sort- ing of letters and parcels in cramped quarters became more of a hardship than a chore. The acquisition of the Y.M.C.A. building will mean that this work can be handled much more advantageously and with greater speed and efficiency. The confusion which prevailed, despite the best efforts of the staff at the Christmas season, will be alleviated to a marked degree. While the new procedure is a step in the right direction, we together with all residents of the Oshawa area should realize that it is an improvisation. Oshawa will not receive the service it deserves or which the Post Office staff is cap- able of giving until such time as the new Federal building is erected at the south east corner of Simcoe, and Athol Streets. Every possible effort shoul be directed to make this an accomplished fact as soon as possible. Nd Prisoners Recover Fast According to the official journal of the Canadian Medi al Association, Canadian prisoners-of-war captured by the Japanese at Hong Kong have made a wonderful .redovery since their return to Canada despite having undergone un- imaginable hardship and suffering. The majority are reported to have now returned to normal activity and pro- ductive employment. The hardships and suffering which these men under- went leading up to sickness of 100 per cent of the personnel was caused by these factors, as related in the journal: "Full Canadian rations were abruptly reduced to a grossly defici- ent diet; fat animal protein, vitamin A, the B complex and total calories were especially low. "Infections were rampant, dysentery, malaria, diphtheria and parasitic infestation maintainea a high incidence. Exhausting physical labor was demanded. Medical supplies and equipment were completely inadequate at all times." Their recovery is all the more re- markable when it is considered that these Canadians were prisoners of war for nearly four years. While the recovery of these men has been remarkable, we woul point out that the human system was never meant to endure such hardships. As the years pass the illnesses which they endured will.take their toll and it may be ex- pected they will succumb, as have many of the men who fought in World War I, before their allotted span of years. The Picnic Is Over Beset by the problems of lower grade and substitute fuel supplies thousands of Canadians in the past year have turn- ed to fuel oil as a solution. However, production has not kept pace with the demand with the result that those who install oil burners without making sure of a supply of oil to last through next winter may go cold. Ships and tank cars for the carrying of fuel oil are scarce while refineries have not been able to keep up with the demand. Once a product which oil companies were glad to sell, fuel oil has now become a commodity which is much sought after as it is more convenient, cleaner and is less troublesome for the householder.

Any night at all they could send over our coun- try a fleet of planes, drop bombs upon us, blow us out of existence. We are not afraid, don't give the matter as much as a passing thought, simply because we know that our neighbors won't send their planes 'with the bombs. BIG BUSINESS . (Cornwall Standard-Freeholder). We need to stop thinking of the tourist industry as a bit of bonan- Za that comes to us year after year, with little or no effort on .our part. We should think of it as a vast business enterprise, in which a great number of Canadians are stockholders. Like any other busi- ness, it will wither if proper capital investments are not made in it NO NATION WANTS WAR (Victoria Colonist) 'There is not one nation in the world that could sustain another major conflict on top of what has happened since 1914. The dema- gogues and fire-eaters to the con- trary, that is a basic fact. More- ever there is no people who would follow its leaders to war again while the memory of the last one persists. That memory is apt to remain live- ly for a good while to come. Near- ly every nation has its wounds to lick, and gaps to fill. SCOT'S DAY (Edinburgh Scotsman) ; After many months of agitation by Scottish farmers, millers, groc- ers and housewives, oatmeal and barley products have been removed from the points rationing scheme. Supplies are now sufficient for all normal demands for human consumption. - The minister reminds traders and the public that the sale, purchas3 or use of these foods for other than human consumption is an offence. TACTLESS CANDIDATE (Ottawa Journal) William Gunn, of Toronto, seek- ing the Ontario Liberal leadership, laments that Liberalism is in "rot and decay," says that it is "listless and speechless" on 90 per cent of the questions of the day. Mr. Gunn, we fear, is going about get- ting the Ontario Liberal leadership in the wrong way; Liberals, notor- iously wishful thinkers, like to be told that their sun hasn't set, that somehow they are destined to lead the world back to a better way. -@ A Bit of Verse OUR MOTHER I see her 'at the window, In the old rocking chair.

There is a "junk" store on the corner of amost every London street and an average of two or three to every suburban t wa. They'll sell anything from a bked- room suite to an alabastar fish in a glass case, from an oak-panelled bookcase to a grimy volume of poems marked sixpence.

"Day after day people come in looking for electric fires and el- ectric kettles." Spiralling prices have also affect- ed values at auction sales. When a residence . at Brondesbury Park, North London, was sold recently, an old-fashioned -electric fire sold for £5 10s.
