When this house was built it was hard to imagine all the wonderful ways in which electricity would be, serving us today. That's why the wiring in so many older homes just isn't adequate for today's needs. There are many signs. Fuses blowing, Lights dimming. Appli- ances performing sluggishly. Cluttered extension cords. Not enough outlets. So, if you're planning to mod- ernize your home, think first of the wiring. Have a qualified elec- trical contractor check it, You'll be surprised at how easily and inexpensively it can be updated.

The average temperature the year round is 85 to 90 degrees and the vegetation is always green as there is very little change in seasons. This climate allows year round participation in such sports as track and field, swimming and other outdoor activities. The main industries are oil, sugar cane, angostura bitters, asphalt and tourism. The population consists of three-quarters of a million Negros made up of East Indians and West Indians as opposed to the Red Indians of North America.

As I sat down to plan my column this month, couldn't help but think of an incident last year that had at least one Bell Canada tester wondering about his sanity. On two different occasions, two different repairmen sent him the same report about telephone difficulties near Chip-, pawa, Ontario. Both reports stated, "drop wire chewed by llama". While one might be inclined to write the whole thing off as 4 publicity stunt to boost the Niagara peninsula as Canada's banana belt, the reports turned out to be legitimate. Llamas are kept at the Marine Wonderland and Game Farm at Chippawa and one of them decided to test his teeth on our drop wires. While this was the first time we've had to contend with llamas, we have had problems keeping our cable out of the way of squirrels, lightning and bad weather. We've been burying more and more of it; it looks better and also protects the cable from the natural hazards I've mentioned, However, it also means that cable could be buried on your property and could be damaged if you're planning to exca' vate — whether to plant trees or shrubs, put up a fence, build a patio or a barbecue pit. One healthy thrust of a shovel, if it's directly above our cable and telephone serv- ice in hundreds of homes and businesses could be disrupted. So if you're planning any major digging, could you give us a call at 611 first. We can quickly tell you if there is cable buried on your property. If there is, we'll come over and show you where, free of charge. That way, you can avoid disrupting telephone service both for yourself and your neighborhood. Here are a few tips for long distance callers. Jot down the important points you want to cover before you place your call and keep a scratch pad and pencil handy in case you want to write something down during your con- versation. Check your telephone directory for Area Codes and Long Distance Rates. Don't forget that rates get lower as the hour gets later. * If you leave a babysitter in charge when you go out, don't forget to leave her a number where you can be reached. She should know where emergency numbers such as Fire, Police and Doctor are located too. Your phone book provides you with a special space for these numbers — right on the inside front cover. If you haven't already filled in these numbers, why not do it now. Your babysitter may never have to use them, but you'll feel more secure know- ing she has them handy. • 11.•••••••••• Holy Trinity Church, Lucan, was decorated with white gladioli, red carnations and candelabra for a double-ring marriage ceremony when Rev.
