Closure, privatization of LETTER: post offices affects towns To the editor. The enclosed cartoon is directed to city residents as an explanation of what is happening in Canadian small towns and villages.

Every school child learns that communication and transportation are vital components that hold every country together. Without good systems a country loses its identity very quickly. Every organization in eistence needs readily available communication and transportation services to keep in touch with its constituents -- be it ROM?, highway supervisors, armed forces, forest firefighters, -avalanche control ' personnel, ambulance service, car parts suopplies, bills-to-pay, etc., etc. Every organization knows that the supply limes and communications links are of vital importance. Indeed, if broken, their very eistence (theirs and ours) withers and dies. Surely, the present federal government members attended elementary school? Surely they know what they are doing to rural Canadians? The Rural Canadian Refugee problem has already appeared in our big cities. These Canadian refugees obviously need - ail the services (jobs, housing, schools, health services) that-the present government so assiduously destroyed in the counftryside. Rural post offices are an everyday necessity for the growing number of seniors, a: million of whom live in small. towns and villages ini rural areas acrosCanada.
