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.

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!"

"B" PACK CURS
"B" Pack Cubs met in the
Scout }kmse last Thursday eve-
ning with Cubrnistress Adel-
aide Ahara and all leaders pre-
sent. 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.

An error was made in the
obituary of Howard M. Milli-

that his father died in 1908
which should have read 1918.
