The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1974-08-01, Page 10qz•;•.4- Odds n' Ends By ELAINE. TOWNSHEND eeee munica bons network provide prompt, efficient, valuable service. Oceans can't block the transmission. The telephone links the world, We consider the telephone a part of our everyday life. Emergencies, minor and major, are averted or are quickly remedied. Business transactions are conducted via the telephone daily. If we wish to do something nice for someone, we send them a long-distance call. From Halifax to Vancouver, instant communication involves only the twisting of a dial, (And a long- distance charge on our phone bill, of course). I wonder how often the telephone has cured homesickness. One of the pioneer telephone ads read; "Conversation can be easily carried on after 'slight practice and with the occasional repetition of a word or sen- tence . .. after a few trials, the ear becomes accustomed to the peculiar sound , ." The telephone has come a long way since 1874, Last month Brantford honoured the 100th anniversary of Alexander Graham Bell's invention. "Thank You, Mr. Bell" was the celebration's theme. Across Canada and around the world millions of people echo that sentiment. The engagement is announced of Phyllis Ann, daughter of Mrs. Norma Weber and the late Mr. E. Weber to John Benedict Dietrich, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Dietrich, RR 1, Centralia. The marriage will take place on Saturday, August 31 at 4:30 p.m, at St. Agnes R.C, Church, Waterloo.

That was the first intelligible sentence transmitted over the telephone. The date was March 10, 1876; the place was the top floor of a Boston boarding house; and the telephone line extended from Alexander Graham Bell's bedroom down a hall into another room. Mr. Bell's invention resulted from years of research and ex- perimentation by he and his assistant, Thomas Watson, While vacationing at his parent's home in Brantford, Ontario, in July 1874 Bell con- ceived the basic idea of the telephone. In 1875, he wrote the specifications for his first telephone patent. On the evening of August 10, 1876 the first long-distance call was achieved from Brantford to Paris, Ontario - a span of eight miles. In 1877 the telephone gained recognition as a commercial reality. The first models for commercial use in Canada were leased to Prime Minister Alexander MacKenzie to link his office with the residence of the Governor-General.

Mr. Bell was correct. More than nine and a half million telephones are now used in Canada. During 1973, Canadians placed almost ten million local calls and over four hundred thousand long-distance messages. We converse with persons in Labrador and the Northwest Territories. Ellesmere Island, located 650 miles north of the Arctic Circle, represents the world's northernmost telephone exchange. Following the invention of the telephone, radio and television became possible.
