At that time, a "recording" operator took down the details of a customer's long distance call and then said, "We will call you back". Another "line", operator set. up the connection and then telephoned the caller. Beginning in 1926, CLR (combined line and recording) ensured that most calls weie completed while the caller remained on the phone. It's a far cry from 1969 when you can pick up the phone in Clinton and call almost anywhere in just a matter of seconds. And for most long distance calls you don't have t,o speak to the operator at all. Did you know that the ordinary looking telephone in your home contains at least 62 .different materials that come from all over the world. They range from the most valued --- gold to the most common --- paper. Each performs 1t spode] function helping your phone to work better and longer. Many of these materials --- iron, zinc, copper, nickel and plastics can be obtained in Canada. But it takes the resources of nations oh every continent but Antarctica to provide raw materials for a single phone. Tin, for example, conies from Malaya, Bolivia and Nigeria and is used• in eleetreplating' terminals. To seek out these ingredients, suppliers are constantly on the move to gather the needed 'raw materials. , Many are well-known: aluminum, carbon, chromium, copper, cotton, lead, •nickel, nylon, rayon, rubber, silver, steel and zinc. Otherynaterials have more exotic names such as beryllitttn, molybdenum, vanadium and pa)ladium, The latter is a precious metal that is noted or its high electrical Conductivity and resistance to corrosion, It's used for practically all electrical contacts in the telephone. So the next time you make a telephone rail, and you can call practically anywhere now, remember that, through your phone, the world is truly at .your finger tips. s Clinton NWs.RcQrd, Thum:lay, ,Jonpory 23,Lio.s1959:. .244 '• 'ploy annual The men of the Goderich detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police worked a total owfee6k00endouintyg hoursjariari;duringaand ng the, patrolled 5,421 miles _of highways and other roads in the area, There were 10 accidents reported involving property damage in each case.

WHIPLASH Whiplash victims provide more suits for compensation than any other type of injury from car accidents, according to the Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatism Society. Neck pain resulting from whiplash injury can go on indefinitely without remission like the Chinese water torture. Most whiplash injuries are caused by rear-erid collisions. The remedy for this wide -spread scourge is simple, according to the Ontario Safety League. It is a remedy that can be applied without the slightest expense or inconvenience. All that is needed is for each driver to leave a little extra space from the car ahead.

The purpose is to require persons under 18 years of age to take an • approved driver education course before being issued with a driver's licence. . • . The Ontario Safety League strongly endorses the intention of the Bill. Similar action in the U.S. was followed by significant,. state-wide • reduction in traffic accidents, and big• cuts in insurance rates. However, a progrAmme on this scale poses huge administrative problems. It is impracticable unless there are facilities available to give approved courses to all 16-year•olds. Driver Instruction is. spreading fast. in Ontario, and new two-thirds of the secondary schools offer courses (usually ex tra- curricular, always optional); but existing facilities could . handle only , a small proportion of the total driving -age sttidents. . The .0SL hopes there will be wide and rapid expansion of approved courses (minimum 25 hotirs' classroom instruction, and 18 hours practical work), This would build. up the framework necessary to allow staged introduction of mandatory courses for would-be drivers under 18. • We stock a full line of MASTER FEEDS FEED MASTER FOR RESULTS THAT COUNT! kW- • Ask us About PLIVI 10 PIIOMICE MOE% MO 100 AI tOstittt COSI • Why covit produce rnpre • When to begin ieeding advantage 1-ioW to take tun VROVE:Q AI WIASISR 3s,,2% DIERR • RSS5ARGI-k FARM _oy PAM tamm„.....11 • Viinee to cut down or\ dairy ration I mpptEils rougha9e MEtyr MAC!• 4.444:ii4LT,4Z0 5."'"11.Q104 H.

Without additional staff but with concentration on improved methods of investigation, the number Of checks of claims and the total of detected overpayments, or payments- of benefit which had been based on claim statemnts that cannot be substantiated, , is rising significantly. "It's hard to say whether the principal factor is initiative on our part, or a strong public reaction against fund abuse," said a UIC spokesman. "Both factors are certainly playing a part." For the period April 1 to July 31, 1968, there were 47,623 investigations on claims, as compared. to 44,629 for the same period in 1967. Overpayments detected by formal investigations -into cases where statements made in claims were suspect amounted to $413,908 from April 1 to July 31, 1968, as compared to $357,484 for the same period of 1967, This represents a 15,8 percent increase in detected overpayments. At the same time less cases resulting in overpayments were discovered. The average 'overpayment detected in the four month period of 1968 is $99 compared to $81 for the equivalent 1967 period. This represents an average increase of $18 per case, or 22.2 percent. In July 1968 overpayments detected for the five regions into which the UIC operation is divided were as follows, The figures for July 1967 ate in brackets.
