IMPRESSIVE ARRAY OF WREATHS. HONOR FALLEN AT. NOVEMBER 11 CENOTAPH SERVICE HERE
Renews 'democratic zeal' appeal
.Rev, Bren de Vries repeated
his appeal for the development
of a "revitalized conception of
freedom" and "a missonary
zeal to carry the message of
democracy far and wide" at
the Remembrance Day service
in Trivitt Memorial Anglican
Church here Saturday morning,
He called for an end to the
public demands for an easier
life, asserting that greater sac-
rifice will be required by peo-
ple of the western world to
survive the international strug-
gle.
He was critical of the "total
indifference of the people of
the western world to the great
problems with which we are
faced today,"
He urged Canadian citizens
to exercise their influence on
the nation's leaders to work
for peace.
He noted, that the .,,greatest
achievement made by man
during the 16 years since world
war two appeared to be the de-
velopment of more destructive
bombs— bombs that can now
kill more people in 20 minutes
than were exterminated in" the
six years of the war. Yet all
over the world .there remains
great suffering and disease for
which agencies must go beg-
ging for funds to provide relief.

Guilty on two charges
A 19 -year-old Strathroy area
youth, Allen Cooper, was fined
a total of $30 and costs of
$15,60 when he 'pleaded guilty
to charges of careless driving
and illegal possession of alco-
hol.
Evidence revealed that the
youth was driving through Ex-
eter on. September 1, when
Constable Lloyd Hodgins spot-
ted his car with only the park-
ing lights on.
Hodgins stepped out onto the
road to stop Cooper and warn
'}him that he only had parking
lights on, but the youth did not
stop for the police officer.
Constable Irwin Ford, who was
farther alp the street, met with
similar circumstances when he
attempted to stop the car,
The officers chased the
Cooper car in their patrol car
and finally succeeded in stop-
ping him after attaining speeds.
of up to 50 MPH in Exeter and
investigation revealed three
full cases of beer in the car.
Warns 16 -year-old
Philip Dzioba, 16, Exeter,
was fined $15.00 and costs and.
received a severe reprimand
from the magistrate after
pleading guilty to a charge of
unlawful possession of alcohol.
The youth was stopped in Ex-
eter on October 6 and a case
of 12 pints of beer was found
in his ear trunk.
"You're big, physically," the
magistrate told him, "but at
age 16 your nervous system
hasn't developed where other
than harm candevelop from
drinking alcohol."
He warned Dzioba that a
second offense was subject to
a minimum fine of $200,00.
Dismiss charge
A charge of careless driving
was dismissed against Paul
Coates, 22, RR 1 Centralia, The
charge hadbeen laid following
an accident involving Coates
and a car driven by Mrs. Mild-
red Fulton, Elimville,
'ErBothcars were travelling
south on Highway 4 and Coates'
.. , vehicle struck the Fulton car
on the roar •corner as it was
• attempting to make a left hand
turn into the Derby Dip, south
of Exeter.
Coates testified that he had
just pulled out to pass Mrs,
Fulton when he noticed her arm
out the window signalling for
a left turn, He said lie hit his
brakes and attemped to get
back into his right lane, when
Mrs, Fulton also swerved to
the right.
The magistrate said he felt
some of the error was a pre-
mature crossing of the centre
Jibe by ' Mrs. Fulton. "Sloe
should not have crossed the
centre line until she was in a
position to enter the driveway
at the restaurant," he said.
"Pulling to the left a great
distance before reaching an in-
lersection is an iniquitous
practice common among many

yield the right of way. She
was involved in an accident in
Exeter whenshe was in colli-
sion with another car as she
pulled onto Main street. Her
lawyer, Elmer Bell, Exeter,
pointed out that it was a
"borderline case" as she had
stopped at the corner and had
not noticed any cars except for
a car pulling out from its
parked position farther down
the street. The car she struck
was passing the car pulling
out.

Attends UK
auto show
Russ Snell, Exeter, returned
home from a two-week trip to
England recently, reporting it
a picturesque place to spend a
holiday, "but I'm still glad I
live in Canada".
"At least the sun shines
here," he stated. "It rained
every day •we were there, ex-
cept one, and it was too cold
to rain that day,"
Along with 84 other Austin
dealers from Ontario and Que-
bec, Snell spent the two weeks
as a guest of Austin of Eng-
land, touring their parts de-
partment and bookkeeping set-
up in Oxford and the main
assembly factories at 'Long -
bridge and Birmingham.
Two days were spent viewing
the display at the Earl's Court
motor show in London, where
all the cars built in the world
were . on display. Every part
that has ever been put on a
car was also on view.
The final week of the trip
was left free for the visitors
and the Exeter man spent
most of the time touring points
of interest in London and the
southern coast of England.
Travelling with Eddie
O'Dowd, London, the pair tour-
ed Buckingham Palace, viewed
the changing of the guard, and
went through Westminster Ala -

The final day in London they
were on hand to witness the
pomp and splendor at the oc-
casioe of the opening of parlia-
ment and saw the Queen and
other dignitaries in the color-
ful procession,
A real circus
"The most atnazing sight 1
saw was the traffic tie-up at
Piccadilly Circus on Saturday
night, Snell stated,
He reported that eight streets
led into the Circus entrance
and along with the pedestrians,
it involved a real snarl. "The
pedestrians don't pay any at-
tention to the cars, and the
drivers don't, pay any attention
to the Bobbles," he, said,
During his stay, Snell visited
with Cal Heywood, a former
Exeter ratan, and with relatives

for this area, said Oita week.
The figures 22$ have been
substituted for the exchange
name Academy 8. Mr. Hay-
s= said that there were a
number of good reasons why
this change was being made,
"First of all." he added, "it
should he noted that the switch
to this all -figure numbering
:system does not mean .an ac-
tual change in the telephone
numbers. The letters are sim-
ply being replaced by the cor-
responding figures on the dial.
In all cases the exchange des-
ignation will be followed by the
corresponding figures on the
same four figures, as in the
past,"
Mr, Haysom said that, "by
eliminatipg letters and ex-
change names, we are remov-
ing the chance of misspelling
and misinterpreting of ex-
change names, which has
sometimes happened in the
past,
"The change also removes
the possibility," he said, "of
confusing the letter 'I' with the
figure one, and the letter '0'
with the figure zero."
The Bell manager pointed
out that the most important
reason for making the change
to all -figure numbers concerned
the necessity of substantially
increasing the number of tele-
phone numbers in North Ame-
rica, He ,said that under the
two -letter, five figure 'system
there were letter combinations
on the dial which could not be
expanded into exchange names,
This restricted the number
of telephone numbers which
could he formed.
"Under the all -number cal-
ling (or seven figure) plan,
this restriction is removed,"
Mr, Haysom said. "The result
is that we will have, through-
out North America, many mil-
lions of additional telephone
numbers available. In fact, it
is expected that adoption of
seven -figure numbers will pro-
vide enough numbers to meet
the expansion of telephone ser-
vice on the continent until the
year 2000,"
At the same time as .all -num-
ber calling is introduced in
Centralia, it will also go into
effect in. Lambeth, Dorchester,
Lucan and Parkhill.
The new number cards for
the dial, plates of Centralia te-
lephones show, in addition to
the seven -figure number, the
•
area ewe number 619. This
code number as used by ape-
raters :and .customers placing
long distanee •calls to Centra-
lia, For example, it is now pos•
sible for subscribers In Toron-
to and many other centres in
North America to reach Cen-
tralia. by direct distance dial-
ing..
The continent has been :di-
videde into .more than 115
areas, with each area baying
its Own distinctive three -digit
code. The code number must
be used when .dialing from one
area to another. Toronto, for
example, is in tho 416 area.
To reach a •.Centralia telephone
from one in Toronto, the per-
son placing the call would dial
519 before dialing the seven
digits of the Centralia number.
Similarly, when direct alis-
tante dialing (DDD) is event-
ually introduced in Centralia, a
customer here would dial 416—
the Toronto area code—before
the seven digits of the Toronto
telephone number,
"Your area code number is
part of your long distance tele-
phone number," Mr. Haysom
said, "When you add the three -
digit node to your seven -figure
number, you have a telephone
number which is not duplicated
anywhere in North America.
It is the three -digit code which
makes your number unique,"

Rev. Mr, Royal told his audi-

megatons, had quickened him
to speak out about the impend-
ing doom that might very well
come as a result of the con-

The minister of Knox Pres-

our culture, The essence of
our culture and our heritage
are the words of the Master
who said 'Come unto 14e all ye

He told .a hushed audience
that "too many of us do not
say as Paul said, "when I be-
came a man I put away child-
ish things'; we are,prone to
throw up our.hands and say
'what can I do'?" Challenging
his audience, he urged that
they seek and honor that which
they hold dear and get to their
knees and ask for guidance.
