Rural 'Phones Are
"500" Sets, More
Sensitive To Sound
A new type of telephone design-
ed to meet special transmission
requirements will be used to pro-
vide to telephone users on rural
multi-party lines the same quality
of service as that provided in
Clinton, Officially they are known
as "500" sets, while a good many
of those used in Clinton are the .
"continental", "BOO" type, or wall
sets,
W, W. Haysom, Bell Telephone
manager for this area, said that
the telephone instruments installed
in rural premises were specially
engineered to serve users remote
from the exchange through which
they are served,
,customers of the Me10/10.1)
Nan001341 Telephone system And,
Tueltersmith Municipal Telephone
$yston are among those who will
be using the new-type sets.
Different in, appearance from
the instruments employed in
ton, the new Sets' are modified to
Offset any loss of transmission
quality which might occur because.
of the distances over which. the
conversation must travel to and
from the exchange,
Mr. -Kays= •said that the new
sets feature improved hearing and
talking circuits which permit
greater strength and o.arity than
would be possible if the older type
sets were used in rural areas.
The rural set has the numbers
and letters printed in white on a
black background and located out=
side the finger wheel, The receiver-
transmitter unit has a flatter grip
than that on sets used in Clinton.

WA Meeting
The Woman's Association of St,
James' Church Middleton, held a
special meeting at the home of
Mrs. Milton Steepe, on Tuesday
evening, April with about 50
persons present.
The meeting was opened by
singing the hymn, "The Strife is
of r, the battle Won,_." followed by
prayer by the president, then th0
members' prayer and the Lord's
prayer in unison. Mrs, Arnold
Milled gave the Scripture reading,
St, Matthew' 28; 5-20.
The president, Mrs. Fred Middle-
ton warmly welcomed the mem-
•bers and special guests and gave a
resume of the W.A. work done in
this parish. .
Mrs. Gordon Rathwell read the
minutes and Mrs. Donald Middle-
ton gave, the treasurer's report.
Mrs. Dutot gave the Dorcas re-
porTt stating the outfit is complete.
This will be on display at the May
meeting to be held .at. the home of
Mrs. Alfred lindie,
The speaker for the evening,
Mrs, Neville Forbes, was introduc-
ed by Mrs, Stewart Middleton.
Mrs, Forbes' subject' was a book
review based on "Gone with the
Windsors" by Iles Brodie,
This -talk was most interesting
and informative, spiced with many
incidents in the life Of this much
diScussed couple, who shuttle from
New York to Paris and back again.
The women present were .entranc-'
edi with interest in the Duchess'
shopping orgies,' and social life.
This book does not present the
Windsor's in a happy light, as the
author considers they placed the
monarchy in great jeopordy with
Edward's decision to abdicate
and that their subsequent life-does
not justify his decision,
Mrs. _Forbes' talk was well re-
ceived, being very .witty and pack-
ed with new information.
Mrs, Rowden moved an apprecia-
tive vote of thanks to Mrs. Forbes.
Mrs, Gordon Rathwell gave a
humorous reading from Haydn
Pearson's. book, "That. Darned,
Minister's Son."
Miss Barbara Middleton and
Mrs. Donald Middleton conducted
some singing action games which
helped all to relax.
The guest soloist of • the even-
ing, Miss Claire Taylor, Blyth,
favoured with several selections
including "Bless this House," "Ser-
enade of the Bells," "Oh, Happy,
Happy Wedding Day." She was I
ably accompanied on the piano by
Miss Mavis Steeps.
Mrs. Donald IV/iddleton moved a
sincere vote of thanks to the mus-
icians and to Mr. and Mrs. Milton
Steepe for their kind hospitality.
The rector, the l'te.v. Warren
Outerbridge voiced his appreciat-
ion and closed the meeting with
prayer. Bounteous lunch and soc-
ial hour ended a most enjoyable
meeting.

Exchanges Design
Fits Changes In
Telephone Tides
In an exchange area one can
see the tide of telephone calling
rise and fall with the daily life of
the community.
In the average exchange, calls
reach their peak in 'mid-morning,
as the business of the day gathers
speed. There's a lull during the
lunch hour and then the number
of calls rises again towards the
middle of the afternoon, when
business picks up its tasks again
and the housewife remembers a
dozen things to be done before
supper time.
Social activities are usually ar-
ranged in early evenings, so the
tide runs high again, between
seven and eight o'clock. As the
evening wears on, fewer and fewer
callS• are made; and by one o'clock
in the morning little more than
the essential services of the com-
munity are using the telephone.
Unusual rushes in telephone
traffic can be caused by a score
of reasons — bargain sales, elec-
tions, storms, sport events. Some
traffic rushes Can be anticipated
and prepared for — long holiday
weekends such as Labour Day and,
of course the Christmas and New
Year season always bring heavy
local and long distance traffic.
Telephone exchanges, are so de-
signed that the heavy Volume of
calls during busy hours can be
handled efficiently,
