Tribute To A Great Soldier
On July„ 2nd, 1942 British
forces halted 'kmrael's Afrika
Korps at Elm Alamein. After
months of hard fighting and
retreat the British managed to
halt the Germans, hairig .4ost
Tobruk only 19 days previous. to
the Axis, their position was still
precarious.
'Forty-two -days. later, a new
General took command of the
British Eighth Army, his name
was General Bernard
Montgomery, immediately he
visited all the, troops in his new
command and talked to them and
told them Of his plans and what he
expected of them. This simple
intimacy did wonders to bolster
morale. For the next six weeks
the Eighth Army trained as it had
never trained before, the men
were brought up to the peak .of
condition.
On October 23rd, 1942 General
Montgomery the brilliant tactition
launched his attack on rommel's
Afrika KOrp.s and by Ma, 12th
1943 . had literally driven the
Germans out or Africa.
This was the turning point of
the war.. from them on the allied
forces niade gains all over the
world, they fought hard and with
determination, the losses were
staggering. General Montgomery
had started the ball rolling and
the Allies carried the ball to the
bitter end.
Last week Field marshal
Bernard Montgomery died.
History will probably record that
he was indeed the greated
General.

Events of Significance 31 Years
(Continued from Page 1)
Mr. Graham said that it will be
necessary to ask the Ministry of
Transportation and
Communications for a' small rate
increase to retire the debenture in
twenty years with increased
revenue from the upgraded
service.
Chairman Retires
William B. Rowcliffe, the retiring
chairman of the commission
spoke briefly. He said the recent
ice storm pointed up the need to
get the system to underground
cable as soon as possible., He said
that when repairing ,the storm
damage 'he thought the
subscribers would prefer
underground cable rather than
temporary repairs. •
Mr. Rowcliffe spoke of the
disrupted telephone service
during the storm and how it
affected some subscribers when
they were unable to communicate
their fellow man, even panic
when they felt isolated.
Mr. Rowcliffe recommended a
change in laying the cable, to
the property line when the
property owner should take over
the installation on his own
property after the , telephone
lineman spread out the wire. "In
the past our men have done this
and usually the property owner
has stood there and watched' him
work," Mr. Rowcliffe stated.
Commissioner Vern Alderdice
said that the commission is
negotiating with Bell Telephone
to receive, a greater increase in
the toll rates.Now Tuckersmith
Telephone only receives 60 cents
per customer or about six per cent
of the tolls.
Mr. Alderdice spoke of the
increasing demands for private
lines • which the commission
cannot fill until, the updating is
completed.
Elmer Hayter,commissiOner,
said,a busy year was ahead for the
commission. With the Bayfield
office full, as well as of hers, he
spoke of the need for expansion to
provide"-the private lines wanted.
W.D. Wilson and J.P.
Johnston, both commissioners,
completing their first year of
three-year terms, spoke of the
need for underground cable to
replace 'the overhead wires. -
When Reeve Ed Oddliefson of
Bayfield, asked about free calls
out of Bayfield to Goderich, he
was assured, that this was a
completely dead issue as Bell
Telephone was - no longer
interested in investigating the
needs' in a community for anew
free call area. '
The five commissioner.s of the
system were given a $100
-increase iri their "annual
honorarium,, bringing it up to
$600. Charles Reid -of Stanley
Township objected to the increase
of $100 during this period when
restraints' on , spending' are being
urged. •
The man who made the
motion for the $100 increase said
it was to cover the meetings
attended and the cost of going to
conventions.( e was learned that
commissioner's attending
conventions already have their
expen5,;00,paid.)
lloyaTerguson, RR 1, Hensall,
was elected new chairman to fill
the vacancy on the commission
caused by William Rowcliffe not
seeking re-election to a second
term.When nominated, Mr.
Rowcliffe declined to let his name
stand. Mr. Ferguson, a 46-year
old Usborne Township farmer,
was reeve of that township from
1971 to 1974. He . has the
southernmost telephone in the
system.
The other four commissioners
are Elmer Hayter of Stanley, 'Vern
Alderdice of Tuckersmith.
'W.D. Wilson of TuckerSmith and
J.P. Johnston of Bayfield.
Ervin Sillery of Brucefield was
named chairman for the meeting
and Mel Graham, secretary.
Mr. Graham reported the total
revenue for the year, amounted to
$156,830 with expenses $154,203,
giving a surplus of $2,627. In 1974
there was a deficit of $2,183.
Total assets for the 'system at the
end of 1975 were $598,194.
The system with a total of 2.119
telephones serves the rural areas,
and some urban areas in
Tuckersmith , and Stanley
