U.C.W. CLINTON PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION Federation fight finally flowers The telephone committee organized by the Huron Federation of Agriculture has received word from John D. Cunningham, assistant to the vice-president of Western Area of Bell Canada that Bell, South Bruce Rural Telephone Ltd., Maitland Teleservices and Wightman Telephone have reached a tentative service agreement on extended area service for the fall of 1975, The announcement was made Thursday night at the regular meeting of the Huron Federation_ of.Agriculture; The agreement would give toll-free service between Wingham- Teeswater; Wingham-Gorrie; Wingham-Blyth, Brussels and Auburn. Total estimated cost of the project is $350,000. Of this amount, South Bruce will pay $:35,000, Wightman Telephone, $46,000; Maitland, $45,500 and Bell Canada, $225,000. The telephone companies will canvass their customers in late 1973 to determine if the majority of their customers desire expanded toll-free ser- vices. held with all telephone com- pany representatives at Belgrave recently. Mason Bailey, president of the Federation said he realized that far less was being offered than had been asked for. He said people in the Blyth- Auburn area would be especially unliappy because they wanted service to Clinton more than Wingham. It was half a loaf, he said, but it was better than nothing. He said the fight proved that JJ the Federation must learn not to take no for an answer. If it had clone this, he said, the toll- free areas would not have been enlarged at all. The larger area will cost the average telephone subscriber about 10 cents per month. Sorority writes poems The Federation of Agriculture became involved in the fight for larger toll areas in the summer of 1971 when a committee was set up and petitions distributed. Response was heavy and the committee began negotiations with the telephone companies. Their request was that each telephone customer be able to call customers in all adjoining telephone exchanges. Earlier this year the telephone com- panies had given a virtual no to the requests . and negotiations, were only started again when the Federation requested the aid of Murray Gaunt, M,P.P. for Huron-Bruce. Jack Stafford, a member of the telephone committee said most of the progress was made in a meeting The final meeting of past month of Beta Sigma Phi was held at the Credit Union.
