pair of skates chasing maddencd trapper across frostbitten wasteland NATIONAL IMAGE This national image has be come somewhat more graceful recently with the triumphs of such Canadians as Don Jack son and Wendy Grincr in inter national figure skating com petition Don recently took first place in mens singles and Wendy won second place in wt mens singles at the world championships in Prague All of

higher labor costs how much work can you buy for nickel and expect to have done perfectly The answer is not many can think of only onea five cent postage stamp Millions of Canadians put five cent stamp on their letters drop them into mail box and never give them second thought They are as sured perfect service anywhere in the country The letter finishes up in the hands of one of the Post Offices numerous letter carriers TWO STAGES spent yesterday with one of these men as your letters went through their last two stages When most of Barrie is still sound asleep letter carrier Aus tin tCorkiet Ayerst is just start ing work at 620 am at Barrie Post Office He spends anywhere from an hour and half to two hours sorting mail andarranging it so he will be able to deliver it to homes apartment bulldin and businesses with the mi mum of time and Wasted effort Corkie Ayerst had Walk Five yesterday the Barrie Shopping Plaza and the residential area around it in just over two hours he sorted 59 pounds of mail which included letters eardsgnewspar pers magazines registered let ters bills advertisements small parcels and brochures There are 522 calls on Walk Five inevitably people move and despite record cards in the vari ous slots Corkie remembers most of them and even where they moved to Occasionally his in slips STRIDES ALONG Where did Charlie Smith on Eecies move to he calls out Within seconds anotherletter carrier sorting his mail will call out that Charlie Smith is living in house his Walk And over goes the letter At 815 am Corkie and strode out of the Post Office on Walk Five mile later Corkie was still striding along and talking to me without any noticable dis comfort except that he had to turn his head to speak to me was panting along couple of strides to

with his mail to de liver it to one of the several hundred homes on his router only taken down the middle of the road We had to detour and go up long driveways round the rear of houses and crisscross the road to other houses We went up and down stepsstone wood en ncw and ramshackle We opened storm doors screen doors old doors creaky doors and stiff doors We slipped on ice sank into snow oozed through mud and paddled through watcrl MEET DOG Then we saw our first dog You ever been bitten Cor kie asked Only six times in the eight years Ive been with the Post Office he replied With bark the dog turned in its tracks and came straight for us and began fawning around Corkie wagging its tail This was the story with all of them Corkle used to be milk delivery man in this neighbor hood ond it was surprising how many of the dogs and residents knew him Corkie is the father of two boys aged 13 and ten His Wife Aileen presented him with third son last Wednesday Everyone wanted to know how mother and son were and what it was like to be lather again EXTRA BAGS On Walk Five there are live drop boxes where post office truck drops off extra bags of mail that Corkie sorts early in the morning As soonas his swollen mail bag was reduced to what up neared human proportions we hit another drop box and he fill ed up again People sometimes put their home mail boxes in the most helpful

enemy of all letter earners mer used on them The mail box that hangs on the wall is often rusted askew broken by diildren faulty treacherous and untrustworthy Contrary to popular opinion letter carriers do not read your postcards But they do appre ciate it when people sweep out their driveways or pathways Snow shovel soles must be poor in Barrie if many home path ways are any indication Most Barrio mailmen carry over 100 pounds of mail day and walk anywhere from 10 to 15 miles They deliver mail in temperatures ranging from 30 to 100 degrees In eight years there was only one day the weather was on meat of transportation of hve stock by truck creating dif ferent kind of market WITHIN HOURS considered too bad to make any deliveries said Corkie who once got frostbitten ears SLIM AND

Strand Fred Campbell mans ager of the Ontario Stockyards at Toronto stressed the import anco of having supply of top quality beef on the market at all times Association at Top quality beef he said will establish better price to the farmer and this will be reflect ed on the prices paid on other markets or in any private sal ea that are made anywhere in the province Mr Campbell explained the methods used in the grading of animals for sale and the way in which the weighscales are looked alter weights are given at all times to both the seller and the buy so that honest He spoke of the develop Cottle can now be put on the market in matter of hours while it took days for the some distance when using the rail ways he said ihls has meant that the farmer can take advantage of the peak price more easily With the introduc tion of auction selling on the terminal market the receipts of cattle have been evened out so that all days of thowcek have good receipts Farmers now do not show their hand by flooding the mar ket on Mondays with receipts of 8000 head as was the case with private treaty selling One of the services that the yards provide is to ensure that no farmer suffers loss due to the bankruptcy of buyer The buyers of cattle are bonded for the amount of their purchase and no tamer in the last 50 years has lost money on this market in this way Last year on the Toronto market alone 406000 cattle were sold an in crease of 4000 over the prev ious year even though 30000 fewer western cattle were sold on this market last year During the meeting figures were presented showing that in 1960 the production of beef in Simcoe County was down by al most 2700 head of cattle from the previous year The bill of lading was discussed and it was emphasized again that live stock truckers are required by law to fill out bill of lading when picking up animals for shipment with the farmer re taining one copy for his rem cords Most of those present favored the voluntary deduc tion of 10 cents per head on the bill of lading although some asked why the deduction cannot be made compulsory ELECT OFFICERS The election of officers took place at this meeting of the Simcoe County Beef Producers and resulted as follows presi dent Mel Sage Stayner vice president Murray Warnico Harrie secretary John Hugh es Barrie Ross Beottle Stayner was again elected to represent zone on the
