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.
The bride-elect is a graduate of Kitchener-Waterloo school of Nursing.
Her fiance is a graduate in Engineering fromthe University of Waterloo.

"Mr. Watson, come here, I
Want you!" 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.
Alexander Graham Bell not
only invented the telephone but

also predicted the extent of its
future service, A Bell Canada
publication quotes one of his
prophecies;
"It is conceivabe that cables of
telephone wires could be laid
underground, or suspended
overhead, communicating by
branch wires with private
dwellings, counting houses,
shops, manufactories, etc.
establishing direct com-
munication between any two
places in the city .. ,I believe, in
the future wires will unite the
head offices of the Telephone
Company in different cities, and
a man in one part of the country
may communicate by word of
mouth with another in a distant
place."
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. Today corn-
