Goody your telephone e manager Not Visible I suppose it may seem strange bringing up icebergs in May, but it suddenly occurred to me that they have some- thing in common with the telephone business! -- Just like the greater part of an iceberg, the greater bulk of techno- logicaI advances in telephone service is not visible to the average person. If asked, I suspect most telephone users would say that 'phone styles have changed over the years, and that transmission has improved markedly, but that in general telephone service serves the same single function today as it did fifty years ago. Not so: For example, telephone lines today carry computer "talk" as well as people's conversations, and carry charts, diagrams, draw- ings, musical scales and even handwriting as it is being written! Again, telephone lines are used to regulate traf- fic lights from remote control positions, or to regulate the flow of oil or natural gas in pipelines spanning the con- tinent. But. as I say, many of these aspects are not ap- parent to the average customer. R Custom Made - I'd like to bring your attention again to the special telephone handsets that we provide for customers with speech or hearing difficulties. The "handset for confiden- tial conversations" is not only meant for people who wish to speak softly for privacy, but for those who, perhaps as the result of an operation, cannot speak as loudly as they wish. (And for laryngectomies, of course, there is the arti- ficial larynx). The handset for impaired hearing contains a rotary switch that raises the caller's voice -level to desired strength. If either of these handsets, or the artificial larynx, could possibly make your life a little pleasanter, please don't hesitate to call our Business Office and in- quire about them. On impulse, the man had written to an old friend with whom he'd been out of touch for many years. When the out-of-town friend received the letter, he made a Long Distance call to our impulsive pal. "Your Letter really surprised me after such a long time," he said, "And what's more .. , today is my birthday so I thought I'd give my- self a birthday present and call you!" tt'Ts k.

Opening ceremonies were led by the Blue Six. Fol- lowing this First Stars were pre- sented to :dark Douglas and David Walker, and another New Chum was welcomed into ''13" Pack, Terry 1 iarcourt. This new boy brings the member - shipof"B" Pack to 3E, a com- plete Pack - six Sixes of six Cubs. Inspection was taken by Assistant Cub Leaders Jim Mil- ler and Hugh Sinnamon and the Blue Six received the award for best all round Six in inspection. However, all Sixes were excellent in overall dress and attendance. Only two Cubs were absent and all boys were in uniform. Cubs are reminded that full uniform will be worn now that the wea- ther is warmer and points are tc be awarded on this basis for uniform. The three New Chums, Bob Henderson, Brad Lewis and Ter- ry Harcourt studied Tenderpad requirements with Assistant Cubmaster Ron Zimmer. The remainder were divided into three groups with a leader each and continued work on Second Star requirements. Story time presented the story of lazy Carlas and his fiddle. The Cubs were shown their new Pack Colours, which have been donated by the Kinsmen, and are very proud to now have a special pack flag of their own, and express appreciation to the Kinsmen for this gift. As the new colours will be paraded at the annual District Church Parade in Brussels on May :31st, .arrangements will be made for a dedicationcere- mony to be held at the Scout House for all Cubs and Scouts the week prior to the church parade, when the new Union Jacks and Company Colours will be dedicated. 0--0--0 BELGRAVE CUBS 1st Belgrave Cub Pack met on Tuesday of last week in the Community Centre with 17 Cubs and two leaders present. Mrs. Clare VanCamp led in the Grand Howl. The Red Six had the most points during in- spection and the sizer, Duane Currie, placed the pennant on the totem pole. After inspection the group went outside to practise march- ing and play several outdoor games. The church parade on May 31 in Brussels was announc- ed, The Cubs went inside and Bagherra instructed the new churns who arc ready to be in- vested at the next meeting. 1 aksha taught semaphore to the i rest of the Cubs.
