SPECIAL NOTICE
To Kirkton Telephone Customers:
On Saturday, August 18th, the Kirkton telephone exchange
will be cut-over to new electronic digital switching equipment.
This new equipment plays an important part in our upgrading
program to provide private-line and two-party service for all
telephone users in the Kirkton exchange. This will also make
digit tone service available.
PLEASE NOTE: - Saturday, August 18th
(1) All Kirkton customers must dial all 7 numbers when placing
calls to Granton, St. Marys, and Exeter including local calls
within the Kirkton exchange.
(2) The number for Directory Assistance in exchanges served by
London - St. Thomas - Goderich Directory and numbers in
your local calling area changes from "0" to 411. For Directory
Assistance dial 411. Please make this change on Page 3 of
your Telephone Directory.
Kirkton telephone users with private lines or two-party service
will no longer be asked "Your number please?" when dialing
long distance calls. The new system automatically identifies
the telephone number from which long distance calls are
made and will:
• Eliminate the need for you to give your telephone number
when dialing a long distance call.
* Speed up the placing of your long distance dialed calls.
• Ensure that calls are accurately charged to the telephone
number from which they are placed.
* Prohibit the fraudulent charging of calls to someone else's
number when dialing long distance calls.
We are pleased to announce these new additions to your
telephone service,
If you have any questions about these changes please call
our business office at 229-8933.

vice, where they heard Dr.
Oswald Hoffmann, in-
ternational Lutheran Hour
speaker, expand on the
convention theme "Sow the
Seed,"
Hoffman said, "The
LWML is the greatest
organization we have in the
whole church." Catching the
excitement of the opening
service, he said, "I don't
think we need a sermon,"
referring to the stirring
processional which featured
beautiful hand-made ban-
ners, depicting the theme as
interpreted by the LWML's
43 Districts, augmented by
banners from seven coun-
tries depicting League work
overseas--Brazil, Guate-
mala, Hong Kong, India,
Japan, Nigeria and the
Philippines. He said, "The
seed of God is doing its work
in the church—now. Whether
we live, or whether we die,
we are the Lord's. The seed
is sown. The crop is
growing."
Dr. J.A.O. Preus,
President of the Lutheran
Church-Missouri Synod, told
the delegates that their
prayers, gifts and projects
are producing. He said, "The
Missouri Synod is a peculiar
thing--unlike any other
church in the world. When
the church decides to do
almost anything, it is on the
move. You, dear ladies, are
a very important ingredient
in that." This was greeted
with applause to which
Preus replied, "Don't ap-
plaud; I should be the one
applauding! I submit to you
there is no other church
body where women play a
more vital and important
role."
A highlight Wednesday

appearance by the Vice
President of the United
