They’re all as near
telephon
IT’S NICE TO KNOW — especially when
you are alone at night — that you have
only to pick up the telephone to summon
the police or fire department — call the
doctor—ask neighbors or friends for help.
The speed and dependability of the
telephone and of the operators behind it not
only mean prompt help in emergencies large
and small, but a comforting sense of security
through all the hours of day and night.
In time of need, no dollars can measure the
value of your telephone, 4
FESTIVAL ATTRACTION—Even though it was one
the smallest of 50 floats in the Bean Festival parade, this
decorated truck attracted considerable attention, from
Hensall residents who enjoyed its comment on the school
controversy. Gerald Bell is the driver and Billy Taylor is
the passenger in the lift. " —T-A Photo

Agricultural School, Ridgetown,
rode to the fair grounds in an
open, horse-drawn carriage de
corated in Kinsmen colors.
Even though it was one of the
smallest floats in the parade, a
little fork lift industrial truck
from General Coach Works of
Canada Ltd. attracted consider
able comment. A sign on the lift,
which was in operation as the
truck travelled in the parade,
asked “Who has more ups ancl
downs than Hensall School
Board'?” The comment referred
to the board’s difficulty in get
ting its new school plans '’ap
proved by council. Most Hensall
residents enjoyed the joke.

which helped sponsor the Festi
