Kierans today announced the steps planned by the Post Office in accordance with the Government's anti-inflation guidelines. These steps comprise a reduction in the number of forecast personnel for 1969-70 and a deferment of the planned extension of new delivery services. Savings to be effected are about $11 million. Instead of a budgeted increase of 2,154 full-time employees in the current fiscal year to meet the annual growth of demand, the Post Office will ex- pand by 1,050. Total Post Office full-time strength . (i.e.) administrative personnel, field officers, letter carriers and pustal clerks) was 36,258 as of July 31, 1969. Further economies will be achieved by a deferment of the extension of new delivery services, like the introduction of letter carrier service to communities not now served by door-to-door delivery and to new sub-divisions in communities already served by letter carriers. Mr. Kierans emphasized however that these economies would not affect the existing services and that new buildings, such as apartments, constructed within areas already served by letter carriers, would qualify for door-to-door delivery in the normal manner. Beyond these economies, and those introduced earlier in the year, by the five-day delivery week, Mr. Kierans stated his confidence that further gains in productivity would be secured by the progressive introduction of recommendations contained in the reports of the special Task Force into reorganization of the Post Office. The bulk of these reports have now been received and are under study by Post Off- ice Officials. TERRACE BAY NEWS OCTOBER 16,1969 MOOSE HUNTERS GO FOR CREST A colourful crest emblazoned with "Successful® Moose Hunter 1969" will be given by the department of lands and forests to any sportsman who brings in the jaw of a moose shot during 1969 hunting season, pro- viding he also supplies the department with the sex of the moose, location and date of kill, and a jaw holding all the cheek teeth. It must include the front teeth and be turned in before December 31, 1969 No crests will be issued for jaws received after that date. The program, aimed at collecting jaws for aging to assess the effects of hunting on moose, resulted after the 1968 hunt in a 25% increase over 1967. The 1968 "bone pile" of over 4,000 jaws doubled the 1966 collection, the last year before crests were introduced by the department . CROSSWORD PUZZLE Last Week's ACROSS 2.Shortening 21. Price 1.
