Alexander Graham Bell, 1946 stamp
I recently used this 1946 stamp to accent a letter I posted to an in-house friend, I thought it was timely as that week the company was fined 1.3 million dollars that they agreed to for violating the no call list administered by Revenue Canada. Bell a Canadian and a Scott invented the telephone, a challenge to the market of Canada Post; both survived.Today I saw a brochure showing that the postage is going up to 59 cents and tax from 54, next week. This may be a result of decreased volumes of 1st class mail due to electronics. The rates for letter mail in the range of 400 to 500 grams at $3.50 is a 25 cent increase. the nearly 10 percent 1st class increase is bigger then the 7 odd percent increase on letter mail in large envelopes from 400- 500 Grams. Handling must be higher on the larger items so the reason has to be higher expected volumes.

Rondane Park becomes Norway’s first national park
Near a modular this 300 thousand dollar new home has been on the market for a long time, should sell as the level entry on the side a few stairs combined with proximity to hospital with full lab make it attractive for a stage of down sizing and retirement. However classy assisted living homes have been built here in recent years that are not fully taken up.
