WHITBY And DISTRICT HON. MICHAEL STARR AT SERVICE OPENING / CARRIER SERVICE The first letter to come out of the Whitby Post Office on Mon- day, Nov. 2, was, strangely enough, not delivered to any house. It was handed to Mayor Harry Jermyn as he stood on the steps of the post office during the official ceremonies noting the beginning of letter carrier serv- ice in Whitby. The letter was from Wililam Hamilton, Postmaster General, sent to His Worship, offering the beginning of the service here. Mayor Jermyn opened and read the letter to the nearly 50 per- sons who attended the ceremony. Attending were members of coun- cil, bers of the Chamber of Commerce, members of the school boards, county officials and other civic leaders. The letter from Mr, Hamilton, the first letter to be delivered by the new service, follows: "With the delivery of this let ter, which marks the inaugura- tion of letter carrier delivery Ceremony Opens Carrier Service A brief ceremony opened the letter carrier delivery service in Whitby at the Whitby Post Office Monday. Performing the cere- mony on behalf of the Postmaster General William Hamilton was Harvey Rieve, District Director of Postal Service. He said that the establishment of the delivery service marked an important step in the pro- gress of Whitby and that the great increase of population and industry over the last few years had deemed it necessary. He said that all mail would be delivered by the letter carriers with the exception of parcels weighing in excess of two pounds which would be delivered by truck. He empha- sized the need for all residents to notify their correspondents of their correct addresses and also WHITBY BOWLING NEWS WHITBY LADIES CANDY BOWLING LEAGUE Humbugs with Laura Steven- son as captain were winners of the first section with a total of 18 points, High triples over 550: A.

Mayor Harry Jermyn spoke of the great progress of Whitby dur- ing the past few years including five new churches, nine major schools and 13 industrial enter- prises which all gave rise to the need for the delivery service, which was sought by the Whitby Chamber of Commerce, * The Minister of Labor, Hon, Michael Starr said that the main achievements of the town were brought about by those people concerned in those achievements, and that the delivery service was blessed with the co-operation of the government. He said that the town of Whitby was blessed by having an energetic, progressive and dynamic people in the com- munity. The Ontario Minister of Health, Dr. M. B. Dymond, said that the character of the town had not changed and that the people were a solid, well established and well settled folk. High singles over 200: A. Hewis 280, 210, S. Dilling 256, G.

Plan Programs Winter Work OTTAWA (CP) -- Three prov- inces have lined up projects for the winter works program so far, it was learned Monday. Federal officials expect an upsurge in ap- plications in the next few weeks. The earlier announcement this year that the federal government would pay half the pavroll costs of approved municipal works pro- jects has brought relatively few applications. Only 16 projects in- volving a federal government contribution of $178,000 have been approved. Officials said the approved pro- jects in Ontario, Saskatchewan and British Columbia will keep an estimated 408 workers busy service in Whitby and Port Whit- by, the Whitby Post Office be- comes one of the 161 throughout Canada providing door - to - door mail delivery service, HAD OTHER NAMES "Through the years, Whitby has been known as Norwich, Windsor, Hamers' Corners, Perry's Corners and Radical Cor- pers.
