POSTAGE RATES

REMOVAL OF RESTRICTIONS. ENDORSEMENT UF ACCOUNTS. Willi reference to the removal ol io certain restrictions in regard to postin age rates, a copy of the following letter has been received by the secretary al y; the Wanganui Chamber ot Coms- nicrce, Mr. 11. Hague Bmith, from tilt* 1, uhief Postmaster, Wanganui, Air. A. ,o J. Cooper;— “Il will no duubt bo of interest to ■ u jou and members of the Wanganui k huii.ber of Commeice to learn of the s- removal ot certain restrictions decided is upon by the department. As yuu i Know, cudorscinents on trade accounts i- in the nature ot requests for payment have tendered the account slum T - ject to letter rates of postage. In the ie inture, additions as under may be made o- to accounts posted at the id rate:— ’’ ( a ) L'*mnrks added by hand com- ” prising nut mure than fixe words :| °r initials, .so long as they reu late solely to li«e subject matter. (bj .Remarks which refer directly to the subject matter of the form, affixed by means of a stump im- > pression or sticker, to which ” details may b e added by hand. “It follows that printed requests for payment which are enclosed loose accounts aro also permitted. 1 ‘JVith respect to ‘commercial 1 papers.’ rhe definition has been ex- •' tended to cover printed forms in the 1 nature of accounts, etc., which at pre,J sent are required to pay tetter rates of postage. For example, a final notice issued by a local body to notify the ’• proposed imposition of a penalty on unpaid rates, or a notice issued bv an 1 insurance company about an overdue 'J premium may now b c regarded as a " commercial paper and the insertion in a space reserved for the purpose, ' of ( the sum owing, the date on which a /• premium is due, or other simple additions of the kind will be allowed in thm category. circulaalso, no objection will be taken to the insertion of the salutn- * tion ‘Dear Mr Smith’ (or as the case may be) or of motor-car numbers, or ’ simple additions of t::e LiH which are • inr .i-m'.-ratefl in tho circular. > “It is hoped that the removal of th< restrictions referred to will be (1 f c —- n - e -~t r °mmercia| community.” & Th e reason we fail to obey the laws > ot health is that they are the natural O laws through which God would main. lain us in well-being; and the reason ■' w » d.>»ol>ey His laws i s that we du not .- sufficiently respond to His Spirit. l we wish to suite any problem it is r" well to understand its nature, and the S causes which give rise to it).

It e has not only had the effect of filling I in tho time for the boys but it ha« been a time of practical instruction hs s well. They finished the holidays with a free entertainment on Saturday night L at the 5 .MjLA. al which parents were invited to attend.- - . JOHN CORNISH.
