Progress is being made against Cancer and “You are still making the difference". gift from God, and if we put ourselves in God’s hands, He will endow us with His gifts, when sin enters our lives, as it did in Samson’s case, it cuts us out from the power of God.

In 1970 the Hay Telephone System served 1942 customers, who placed 206 thousand toll messages with a net dollar value of 77 thousand dollars. The readers write Dear Sir, Education Week is past, and many activities have taken place in.the various local schools, that proved very interesting to our communities. The Times- Advocate must be very busy trying to cover all these events fairly, and we ap­ preciate the pictures and comments on the many events. The Education Week theme, “Parle Moi de Toi", “Speak to Me of Yourself”; engendered opportunities to share the knowledge and talent of many local crafts people. Our school was fortunate in having Kaaren Batten, potter; and Elaine Town- snend, columnist; come and speak to us of themselves. We found them both to be interesting, dedicated women, and wish to thank them again, for taking the time and the trouble to help make our week a success. My class was especially fortunate in having Kaaren for the afternoon. She brought heavy loads of clay and “pots”, and demon­ strated how a potter builds muscles, “wedging" clay; as well as building creative, unique objects, from the “raw material". Later, they .all had a chance to manipulate their own piece of cool clay; using pinching, coiling and slab­ bing methods; to form, and reform, shapes. Some groups had fun forming “castles” out of pre-thrown clay tubes, and decorating these according to their own impulses. The next day, they were all glad to write “thank-you” letters, because the whole experience had been meaningful, and very en­ joyable. Yours sincerely, Marjorie Glendinning Rm 5 Mount Carmel School In 1977 the System served 2675 customers, who placed 438 thousand toll messages with a net dollar value of 99 thousand dollars. The volume of business conducted by a telephone company does not increase on a 1 to 1 ratio with number of customers counts. An increase in number of customer counts has a nasty habit of compounding or snowballing the work load. On the quarterly billing period there were thousands of dollars .worth of long distance calls waiting to be billed to customers. Some of these calls were five months old by the time they were being billed to the customer. Meanwhile the telephone company was obligated to the ac- the ac- pay the connecting com­ panies for their portion of these calls. The billing machine which has been used for the past three years was not capable of processing any additional quantities of accounts within a reasonable length of time. On the old system of customer billing there were approximately 1600 accounts being billed monthly, comprised of quarterly and monthly billed customers. It would have required an additional 4 or 5 days to bill all 2700 customer accounts on a monthly basis. In February management made the decision to switch to a fully computerized billing system, which was available through Northern Telephones of New 1978, Liskeard. This system in­ corporates billing of the customer account while it also provides up to date accounting records and management control data on a monthly basis. Since the new monthly billing has been out for only approximately one week there has been only one customer complaint while numerous customers stated they are well pleased with the change. A return envelope is in­ cluded with the customer' account for remitting payments direct to the business office. Customer accounts can also be paid at the Bank of Montreal branches in Grand Bend, Dashwood, Zurich, Exeter and Hensail. Personals Mrs. Gordon Dann has returned home after spending a three week visit with her sister in Tarpon Springs, Florida.
