It depends on what you want from an investment. For
example --• if you can afford to take a risk in hopes of
spectacular returns, Life Insurance is not in the picture. But
if you must have an investment that will do these three
things create an immediate estate foe your family in
the event of your early death, provide a lifetime source of
retirement income, plus liquid funds for emergencies —
then Life insurance ranks second to none. A ,permanent
Life Insurance contract is the only investment'that can
guarantee this combination. Even in periods of economic
stress, Life insurance has a record of absolute dependability.
If you would like to learn more about investing in Life
insurance including its tax saving features, call the Matt
from Manufacturers. You'll find he has an interesting
story to tell.

Dear Sir or Madam:
In recent years it has become increasingly evident
that commercial, and residential. development . in the Grand
Bend area is rapidly, inguifing the capacity of our present
cable and switchboard equipment. It appears therefore,
expedient to improve facilities at Grand Bend central for
the following reasons:
(a) It is indicated that our switchboard office should
be relocated.
(b) Extensive cable additions must be made at once
to relieve Long Distance Pressure.
(c) Multi -Party Lines within the village itself should
be divided to private or two-party service.
(d) Switchboard and cable must be purchased to
accommodate a greater number of phone users.
(e) Facilities should be enlarged to service a greater
number of summer residents at a rate acceptable
to them and financially beneficial to the system.
In considering improvement at Grand Bend there
appeared to the Council three distinct alternatives:
(1) Adding to the present Magneto Switchboard,
moving it into new situation and improving the
outside cable plant extensively.
(2) Purchase of Common Battery Switchboard equip-
ment, installing it in a new building and improv-
ing outside plant and equipment.
(3) Purchase of Dial equipment, construction of
proper: housing, and improving outside -plant and
equipm ent.
1t is noted that in either of the three alternatives
improvement of the outside plant and cable equiprnnnt would
be essential.- In all cases this would be the largest expendi-
ture to contend with by far, so that whatever steps were
taken it was evident that costs of increasing and replacing
outside plant would be the larger fact to consider.
Adding to or replacing the present Magneto Switch-
board has appeared not advisable since when completed we
would at the most still have equipment that has been twice
outmoded.. Converting to Common Battery equipment would
give a better grade of service but would still require the
service of operators. Conversion to dial central equipment
would be somewhat more expensive but weuid. give the best
possible service to the users and would eliminate heavy costs
of operator salaries.
In the past it has been the policy of this Municipal
Systemto furnish the hest service possible atthe lowest
rates possible. Unfortunately this has not produced a surplus
from which we May draw funds to :modernize and improve
nut^ system extensively. 'it will be necessary for the Town.
ship of Hay to issue debentures to finance the improvements,
It is the decision of the Council of Hay Municipal
Telephone System to install dial telephone service at their
Gravid Bend central. offices. It is estimated that the total
cost of providing service and toll facilities to Grand Bend,
will he $250,000,00. Of this Amount $100,000,00 will be needed
over the next year to provide the necessary long distance
facilities and additional cable and wire plant for local. ser-
vice. A major effort is being made to improve Long Distance
connections for this summer involving placing cable and
temporary addition to the existing Grand Bend switchboard
and operators staff for this purpose. Since an expenditure
of this size cannot be undertaken without sufficient revenue
to retire the debt in a reasonable period of time an estimate
of operating costs and revenues has been produced. `rhe
results of this estimate dictate that to be financially seeure
in the proposed undertaking rates must he revised in the
Grand Bend area as hereinafter noted.
In the past, a haste private line rate has bean
charged within the limits of the Corperatinn and anyone
outside the limits who required private or two.party service
was charged for line. mileage. tinder the rate application
herein the area 'serviced is divided into three zones as
outlined on the attached map; Base Rale Arca being all•
proximately the Corporation limits; Zones_ 1 being the Areas
next both South and North and Zotic 2 being the built up
area next And further North, it is intended that either
private or two•party service be furnished in the Base Area
HAY .MUNICIPAL TELEPHONE SYSTEM
and Zones 1, In. Zone 2 either four -party er multi•party
service would be supplied. Rural party lines will be re=
duced to ten phones or less. The rates charged in all zones
include line .mileage.
Application has been made to the Ontario Telephone
Authority for authority to make the following charges for
the telephone service out of Grand Bend. Central, effective
as of and on the date of "cutover to dial service.
