Gives Report On Posi Office Construction

‘oquiawa, Dec. 1o - (or) Construction of new post of-fires across the country is being pushed as quickly as possible. Postmaster General Rlnfret told the Commons to-day,

'i‘he Minister declared a big back- log o! buildings has accumulated and his Department, is "greatly concerned" because operations are being hampered.

Speaking during discussion o! his Department's estimates. Mr. Rin- frst said the Department had gddpted th; practice of giving prior- ity to the construction of post 0f- flces in places where the revenue is more than 510.000 a Y9"-

This being the Commons’ annual post-office day. several memlbers took the opportunity to press for new postal buildings in their rid- inga.

Clare Glllia (OCR-Caps Breton South) suggested that "local pat- ronage rkuiaueserv" had prevented construction oi a $36.00!! buildim B‘ Dominion, N5. for which money was voted last year.

Mr. Rlniret replied revenue from the Dominion oftlca was only $3." $8 ao his department could 00¢ recommend it. However. hﬁ thought the vote was for a public works p!'0- lect. If that department erected a building and otter-ed space for a post office, he would accept it.

Mr. Glllia said the money had been weed speciﬁcally for a post office. Noting it had been cul dawn h; $25,000 this year. he said the Postal Dqaartment had been slaw in not spending the original amount.

A. J. Brooks (PO-Royal) said if Dominion could get a post oflice with a, $4.000 revenue, the village of Rothesay. N.B.. with twice the revenue should have one.

W. Chester B. McLure (PC- Queens) complained that Bank or Canada headquarters for Prince Ed-

ward Island was in New Bruns- wick. i-LH. Hatfield (PC-Vlctoria-car-

lgtpn) got the Minister to promise to look into the matter o! a post office in Plaster Rock, N‘.B., for which a tender was lat in 1N9 but called of! because of the war.

Demand for a new building for Pugwasir. N.S.. came from Percy Black (BC-Cumberland). The building there was not adequate.

From Newfoundland. WJ. Brawn -(PC-St. Johns West) sought post offices for Daniel Point and Bmall point, “nail settlements near Tre- passey. Residents of those commun- ities had to get the mail by rowing dories across a bay to the nearest post office.

More rural mail service also was advocated by Mr. Black. He urged that conditions for the setting up of 111ml mall delivery routes be modified so few persons in a liven area would be needed t0 qualify for delivBfy.

Mr. Rinfret promised consider-t- ion would be liven-

Mr. Black also protested against what he called "great unfairness and discrimination" by the Posi- Ofﬂgg Department in distribution bonuses to rural mail couriers. Started during-the war. these were discontinued at the and of the last fiscal y!!!’-

Tha Nova scotla member contend-

that the bonuses were distribut- a mgaly to those who want altar than. Carriers who Just went about their work and did not s01 the

MONTREAL. Dec. 1G — (OP) _. Back in the old days National Hoc- key League fans just about now would be seeing the windup o! the regular schcdule-mt by the calendar but by the number of games played. llow do the records of a. zd-ganis schedule coirnpare with the present cram-full season of 70 games 10: each club? Lets make the corrupar- ison with the 1949-50 schedule up to now-—23 games for three clubs. 32 for two and 21 for one, reasonably close figures.

Roughiy. the team averages are close but the present-day individual averages are higher. Just what part the frequent games. continual train hops, rule changes and the scramble-scramble game play in the comparisons is anybody! guess. In those old days the schedule Opened around the end of Novem- ber and closed about the end of February or the first or! March.

ln the lull 1923-24 season the four clubs then in the league-Ot- tawa. Canadians. ‘Toronto St. Pats (now lﬁcifs), and Hamilton-totall- ed 255 goals in a league total of 96 games. Each club had an average 0d 63.7?» goaLs for the 24-game sea- son and 2.66 goals per game.

In the 134 total games this season th» 51X clubs now operating have scored 176.‘) goals for an average of 61.50 goals per club and 2.75 goals per game.

In 1923-24 Cy Denneny of Ot- tawa led the league with 32 goals and one assist for 23 points. Billy Bolicher nf Canadiens was next with l6 and 6 and Aurel Jollat of Can-odious third with 15 and 5.

In 23 games this SPBSOH—OHE less than the full 24-gan1e schedule 2S YEMS ago-Ted Lindsay of Detroit has amassed l3 goals and. l7 as- sists for 30 points. Sid Abel. in the same number of games with Detroit. has ll and 14 for 25 points; Doug Benllcy of Chicago in 22 games has seven llnd l8‘ for 26 and Gordie Howe of the Wings 11 and. 12 for R points in 23 games. ,

Maurice- Richard of Canadians, leading the goal-scorers at present. has rapped in i7. plus five assists in 22 games. Behind Denneny in goal scoring in 1923-24 was Babe Dye of Toronto St. Pats with l7. He had only two assists.

1n 1924-125 when each of six teams ln lhe league played 30 games, the Club averiilc was 75.0 goals for the full season and 2.50 per game.

Just 10 years ago the season was 48 games for each of the seven clubs then in the league. Each club's goal average per game waszofi.

EDMONTON. Dec. lll - (C?) — Les Lazar's blast about the Canad- ian Rugby Union being antiquated found support in Alberta's football centres.

But sport scribes agreed that tlhe bee! o! the Calgary Stampoders’ coach was ill-timed. especially as it followed so closely the western champions’ unsuccessful defence of their Grey Cup title against Mont- real Alouettes. Montreal wen 28-15.

Bob (Calgary says "It was a gallant defence, a defence that left plenty to talk alnut without lowering the boom on an antiquated CR1)’. If Stam-

peder officials wanted to start sparring with the CJLU. master- nilnds they could have started months ago.

"The grid bee! eould have waited until later and won more support" from the fans.
