Postmaster General Cote an- nounced Friday the government is retreating from a proposal to use casual labor and instead will hire permanent employees to rive the gostmen a full day off besides Sun-

ays.

The carriers now work a 44-hour week, on a six-day delivery basis. On -April l, the five-day 40-hour week will go into effect in 180 cen- tres served by 5.000 postman.

The government's original plan was to give all of them Saturdays off and on that day use casual help such as students, or allow the postman themselves to work sat- urdnys at regular rates if they wished.

On Installment Buying

TORONTO. (CP) -- The Ul1li(Tfl, Church Board of Evangelism and Social Service asked the Foderalt

Government Friday to curb instal- ment buying. In a resolution passed at its

WAUJNOPORD. Eng. (AP) - The "Gloomy Dean" of at. Paul'- died Friday.

Very Rev. William R. Inge, famed Anglican clergyman who gained world renown as a wnsplsh prophet-philosopher. was 0:. He had been ailing for some time with bronchitis.

Gloomy predictions from the pul- pit of historic It. Paul's Cathedral where he served 2! years as dean earned him his nickname-but he eiweys felt he never deserted it.

only a year ago he told an inter- viewer: "I have tried only to face reality. to be honest and refuse to be foolishly optimistic." And he said he didn't know whethcr there was an alter life or not-"I must wait and see."

Dr. W. ll. Matthews. the present dean of It. Paul's. paid tribute to his predecessor as "an eminent Christian of a rers kind.” explain- ing "he shocked many good people.

but he made them think."

tlG1oomy Dean” Of St. Paulls Dies At Age 93

Dr. Inge. whose own life was far from gloomy. spoke out on many subjects:

Make-up: "Fare paint. scarlet lips and dyed hair (ll 1 were dic- tator) would be forbidden as aes- thetically offensive."

Gambling: "1 would put. it down- wlth a strong hand as it is a worst- national vice than drunkenness and much more common."

Christians: "We can hardly ex- aggerate the thoughtlessncss of the average Christian."

Preaching: "It is like throwing a bucket of water over a row of narrow-necked vessels, A drop or two may find its way in hers and there."

Good Food: "Although the simple life is commendable the human stomach can do with an occasional surprise."

Funeral services are expected to be held Tuesday or Wednesda with burial in south Moreton. a

week-long annual meeting, the! board said restrictions on instal- ment buying should be reimposed "in order to prevent many people from making purchases they can- not afford."

The board also urged United Church members to limit their in- stalment buying to necessities. "such ii: houses and helpful equip- mcnt like washing ITlHChlIlPl and rcfrigcrators and to use their iti- fliienre with others to do the same."

Board members said buying on the instalment plan has reached "a dangerously high figure" of nearly 52.000.000.000 3 year. which constitutes n serious threat to the economic life of many lower in- come groups.

OVPTAWA, (cm -A spokesman for Canadian cities and towns Fri- day appealed tn the Federal Gav- ernmcnt to help finance construc- tion of sewers. water plants and other urban services to prevent a complete "bog down" cf Canada's house construction program.

"The real bottleneck in housing may turn out to be the sheer inability of municipal government! to provide the essential comunity requirements and facilities which our expanding urban population requires." said J. O. Asselm. chair- man of Montreal's executive com- mittee and president nf the Cans-

dian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities. . Mr. Assclln and George S.

Mooney. the ft-deratiorfs executive director. appeared as witnesses be- fore the Commons banking com- mittee scrutinizing the 8i)vern- mcnt's new housing legislation. The committee. which already has spent three weeks on the bill. will begin a clause-by-clause study Monday.

If Canada's housing program is in. expand, said the federation in in brief. it will 'need more streets. sidewalks, sewers. water. street llahts. as well as more money for ii", police and garbage-collection EEYVICES.

Loerl Ton Heavy

"-If the lifbiln population is des- tined to continue at the same ratio of growth as it has during TGCPM Years, it is doubtful if the municipal govemmcnls, operating within the credit and revenue ri- gidities which they do. will be able to finance the costs of the attend- ant municipal services and facili- ties which expanding population growth is tlirustirtg upon them."

The federal governrtiint must

help municipalities to find the necessary money for capital works. If is did not "there is the pos- sibility that our entire national house construction program may bor down .. . ." - The federation. through its two representatives, made these other proposals: I. The federal guvernnirnl should rmbark on construction of low-cost rental housing to demomstrate to municipalities how such housing could fit in and be maintained in a municipality. The greatest need in Canada is for rental units for families earning less than 82,400 a year.

2. Central Martgago and Housing Corporation should do more to publicize provisions in the legis- lation for the development of land for hnusim: through joint federal- provincinl financing.
