Clinton News-Record, 1974-12-19, Page 19If you can't be bothered looking up a telephone number and take the easy way out by asking information you can ex- pect a bill for the service after February 9, 1975. Bell Telephone has in- stigated a new charge for the directory assistance service for those customers that •use it so they do not have to go through the bother of getting out the telephone book. The charge is 25 cents per telephone number given that is listed in the telephone direc- tory. The charge will be added to the monthly bill• only if the resident customer requests more than three numbers in a month that are listed in his or her telephone book. The move was made by Bell to cut down on the increasingly high volume of unnecessary calls. Directory Assistance operators handled more than 220 million calls in 1973, 70 percent of which were listed in the phone book. The company hopes to provide a quality assistance service for those customers who need it for num- bers not listed in the book or for those who prefer the operator to look up the number, for them. • By charging individnal customers on their use of the service the Company hopes to have the customers who use the service-the most, bear the brunt of the expense. Surveys done indicate that about 50 percent of the calls to directory assistance are made by only 10 percent of the customers. Not all calls to the operator will cost you money. The first three a month are free as well as calls about numbers not listed in the directory, calls from hospital, hotel or motel rooms and emergency calls. People calling directory assistance from a pay phone will not be charged nor will calls made about long distance numbers that are not listed, be charged. Prevent Christmas tree fires Make sure your family isn't one of those left homeless because of a Christmas tree fire this year. "Your tree will probably be cut at least a month before you buy it," says Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food hor- ticulturist, J.K. Hughes, "It will dry even more before you set it up, So, don't let your children persuade you to bring it in early and leave it in late. The longer you keep it inside, the more dried Out it will get and the more of a fire hazard it will become," Regular watering will keep the tree fragrant and green and will help prevent it from drying out quickly. Check its water supply every day, especially during the first feu, days in the house. If your tree is frozen when you bring it in, let it thaw at least half an hour Wore decorating it. This will prevent its needles from falling as quickly, Never decorate a Christmas tree With real candles. Check electric lights for shert circuits before hanging them on the tree and keep trimmings that might ignite easily away from them. Keep the lights On for only short periods, and be Me to switch theft- off whenever you are leaving the house, People with physical or men- tal handicaps will be exempt from the minor charge. Senior citizens' over the age of 65 will also be granted free service. Bell has worked with federal and provincial agencies to work out a method of providing directorY assistance to the old or handicapped who may not be able to use the telephone directory easily. Most organizations that assist the handicapped and elderly have a supply of special exemption forms for their mem- bers. Bell business offices have a supply of the forms as well, and any customer eligible for the exemption 'may call one of these organizations or their local Bell office to have an exemption form mailed out to them. If your phone bill in March has an extra charge for direc-• tory assistance on it, don't get angry; because after all it probably is a charge that should never have appeared there had you kept your telephone book handy....and used it. , Riding with Traffic Bicycling in traffic without. knowledge of traffic laws and signals is suicidal. Whenever possible, take the easy way out. Walk, don't ride, across busy intersections. It's safer and of- ten faster to avoid busy streets, Always ride on the right-hand side of the road, close to the curb. Watch for car doors opening in your path. When avoiding parked cars, potholes and storm sewers, be cautious. Never swerve. If you have to ride at night, your bicycle must be equipped with a front light and white reflective tape. In the rear, have a tail-light or a red reflector plus red reflective tape. Happy wheeling-and- dealing! GERALD L.

Jervis-68 Albert St, Clinton-482.9390 holidays in The nostalgic strains of I'll Be Home For Christmas" won't be played for two young missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, This year they will forego Christmas with their own families so that they might bring a special message to the residents of Goderieh. The missionaries serving in the Goderich area, Elder Brent McKell from Spanish Pork; Utah and Elder Brad Dalton from San Juan, Puerto Rico, exclaimed, "We feel it is a privilege to be here during Christmas and to share a message testifying that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He was born nearly 2000 years ago, that He lived then, was resurrected, and lives today." The residents of Goderich have shown a special interest in their message, and both missionaries commented on the warmth and genuine friendship with which they have been received. Elder McKell went on to say, "The warmth' that radiates during this season conies from the Spirit of Christ which is in the air. At this time, more than any other, people think of others and try to express, either in word or deed, their desire to make someone happy." Elder Dalton commented that Spencer W. Kimball, the living Prophet who stands as the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, made the following statement: "Christmas is a fit- ting time to renew our desires and to strengthen our deter- mination to do all that lies within our power to make real among men the message heralded by the angels when the Saviour was born. Let us glorify God by seeking the good, the true and beautiful! Let us strive to establish peace on Earth by exercising that same good will toward one another which God has shown toward us!" area The rapid growth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Lat- ter-day Saints can be attributed in part to its vast missionary programme. There are 18,600 yohng men and women who are currently serving in most coun- tries of the free world. These young people, many of them under 21, voluntarily give up 18 to 24 months of their own time and pay their own expense to accept calls as missionaries for the Church. There is no professional clergy in the Church, therefore, education and training, for future oc- cupations is set aside until the completion of their missions which they consider to be a privilege rather than an obligation. The Canada Toronto Mission, which includes most of the Ontario province, has within its boundaries ap- proximately 200 missionaries that will forego Christmas at home this year to extend to each resident of Goderich warm wishes for a very Merry Christ- mas and a joyous holiday season by teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In 1913 two Catholic priests were brutally murdered in the Northwest Territories. Word of the slaying did not reach the Mounted Police in Edmonton until May 1915 when two con- stables were sent north to search out and apprehend the murderers. They returned in August 1917 with two Eskimos, Sinnisiak and Uluksak. Pour years after the crime they were found guilty and sentenced to death. However, the sentence was commuted to life imprison- ment to be served in the North. * * * Between the fall of 1897 and the spring of 1898, 22,000 men climbed in single file up the summit of the Chilkoot Pass on their way to the Klondike gold- fields in the Yukon. 011111131 SERVICES ALL SERVICES ON STANDARD 'TIME ONTARIO STREET UNITED CHURCH "THE FRIENDLY CHURCH" MINISTER: LAWRENCE S.
