In last Thursday's Advance reference was made as to the possibility of the inauguration of mail delivery in Tim- omlns at an early date. It was recalled that an amount had been included in the estimates at the last session of the Dominion parliament for mail delivery in Timmins. but no official announce- ment had been made as to when it was planned to inaugurate the service here. Recently mail delivery has been Carried through in Kirkland Lake, but no par- ticulars were available in regard to the date when Timmins might expect simi- lar service. Several months ago the Timmins town council passed a resolu- tion urging the inauguration of a mail delivery service for the town. but in the meantime nothing appeared to re- suit from all this. Then last week no- tices were posted on the bulletin board at the post office calling for applica- tions for men to do the mail delivering. This looked as if action were planned for the near future. particularly as ap- plications were required to be in by July 3lst.

Men Refusing to Work Proving Problem Here have good conditions. Thwe men were oflered work on the highway construc- tion at Pamour. but turned the offer down flat. Some of them gave reasons such as that the work was too hard for them. that they didn‘t believe in inocu- lation. that they had no way of living until they drew their first pay at the end of the month. and others that they did not want to live out-of-town and not be sure. that their families were all right.
