Calling at the Post O ffice is tiresome and slow and it was threatening to lead to expensive results. Box facilities are already taxed beyond the limit and, withont the system, an exten- sion to the Suilding would soon be vecessary. Although submission to the Governor -in- Couneil fo: the serviee is a for mality and should x0 through without delay, we cannot expect that post- men will appear on our doorsteps within the next few days. They must first be recruited and trained, and householders and building proprietors must then provide receptacles in which the mail ean be placed. some chang in UOlLit The main obstacles, however, have been clear- ed, and for helping us over them we owe thanks to the Junior Chamber of Commerce whose members spared themselves no effort after the service, Flying Saucers Not American HILE we were greatly absorbed in Elmore Philpott’s recently completed series on flying saucers, we can hardly go along with his theory that the objects are American secret weapons. To do so would be to concede that the country is in the hands of fugitives from a snake pit. in going There is terror in the thought that the military command of our big neighbor would allow missiles to whistle at random through the skies, narrowly missing other aircraft and wandering at will. across international borders. We cannot aecept the notion. For one thing, we do not think American leadership has gone raving mad. we recall reading that flying saucers have been sighted for centuries and we cannot conceive how American scientists eould be so far ahead of the rest of the world. It would mean that while George Washington was exhorting his men to use their muskets and pitehforks, he had a far more sinister weapon in the air which for some reason had to remain on the se pet lict ecret list. For another, Accepting the conclusion that flying saucers are real, we can only agree with those who argue they come from another planet which is content to watch us. This wishful thinking but it makes for better health. If there were signs that someone on earth was shooting the things around, it might make sleep more difficult at night. may be BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT Nova Scotia Apples Surpass B.C.
