Original Toronto Star caption: Happy to have work; employees of the post office in Belton sort hydro bills delivered to them yesterday. Despite the national postal strike; inside workers have stayed on job in Caledon; Tottenham; Bolton and Belfountain - but few people have known about it and there's been little for the sorters to do. Rural post offices haven't been getting mail posted outside their own areas; Bolton; with 5;000 people and three rural routes; handles about 100 letters a day.
