Town council, has protested a move by the Bell Telephone Co. to change Exeter and district listings from the London to Stratford-Goderich directory. The protest, made at Monday night's council meeting, followed Bell's announcement that Hen- sall, Exeter, Creditorl, Centralia, Grand Bend, Zurich and Dash- wbod telephone users would appear in the smaller Stratford• Goderich book when the next edition is published.
