POSTAL EFFICIENCY.
Responding to the toast of the Post-master-General and the P. and T. Department at the smoke concert of the P. and T. Employees' Association in Wellington, the Hon. K. S. Williams paid a graceful tribute to the prominent and intimate part played in the daily lives of the community by every member of the postal service. Speaking not as Postmaster-General, nnr yet as a member of the Cabinet, he wished, he said, at the first gathering of officers of the Department he had ever attended, to thank them as a back country farmer for their ready efforts to make'the lives of the back country people bearable. In the ease of illness, or at any time when there was need of assistance in the home, the postal people were the first to ring up and ask if there was anvthing that could be done to help. It was 'that kindly consideration and eagerness to please which made the work of the Department, from the highest to the lowest in it, appreciated throughout the whole of the country. Frequently they were called upon to do anything and everything, and because they did it well they had an exceedingly high name all through >ewj Zealand.
