This expansion was reflected in Wingham, where 65 tele- phones were added. K. R. Wither den, Bell manager for the reg- ion, revealed that 2002 tele- phones were in service here as of December 31. Net income of Bell last year was $77.7 million, equivalent to a return of 6.3 per cent on total capital, or $2.71 per share. This compares with a rate of return of 6.1 per cent and earnings per share of $2.58 in 1963. After payment of $2.20 per share in dividends to the com- pany's 207, 000 shareholders, the balance of 51 cents per share was added to earnings re- tained and invested in the busi- ness, according to the report. Of Bell's shareholders, 97.4 per cent live in Canada and own 93.6 per cent of the stock. As of December 31, Bell employed 35,890 men and wo- men. The company's payroll in 1964 totalled $187,081.096, Construction of facilities to extend and improve services amounted to $233.5 million in 1964. Altogether, 52 new buildings were completed and extensions built on 23 others. Thirty-one new exchanges were put into service, many of them in remote, northern communi- ties which had been without telephone service. Thirty-nine other exchanges were convert- ed from manual to dial opera- tion. At year end, 99.1 per cent of the telephones served by Bell in Ontario, Quebec, Labrador and the Northwest Territories were dial operated.

Its improved suspension gives you new smoothness on the roughest country roads. Its new wider track gives you improved cornering power. its new steering gives new meaning to precision handling. its bigger doors and flatter floor give you even more room and travelling comfort. And you get famous Magic Mirror finish, Body -by -Fisher quality, water -washed air-dried rocker panels, Delcotron generator, deep twist carpets, foam cushioning, cigarette lighter, dual sunshades, locking glove box, 2 -key locking system, crank -operated venti- panes and the widest Pontiac choice ever: 40 models, 17 colors, Parisienne Custom Sport Coupe Parisienne Sport Coupe 4 transmissions, and engine selection rang- ing from 140 hp in the economical yet lively Astro -Six to 400 hp.

The Ross Tomans and Miss Margaret Wright attended the Ice Capades in Kitchener on Letters to Gentlemen; I feel your paper deserves a great deal of credit, pressing as you are, on the subject of where a new senior citizens' home should be built. I can't understand why some county councillors want to see an addition to the exist- ing home at Clinton. Surely members of County Council are more broad minded than this. I suggest all reeves and deputy reeves of both the north and south areas form a deputa- tion, which should be led by our members of parliament, and call on the warden and several members of the county council to press for our rights. They should also go to Toronto to in- terview the Minister of the Ont- ario Department of Welfare. The Ontario government puts up most of the money, surely they will see the logic of this matter of building a new home some place other than in Clinton. Why should friends of the people living in these homes have to drive many miles to visit? It would also help remove a little of the stigma of the place at Clinton, which for years was known as the poor house. The homes are now a credit to our society and it's very practical that they should be spread around. This is where prompt act- ion is needed. You have paved the way and now we need a leader. Build the home at Blue - vale, Wroxeter, Lucknow, Exeter, Brussels or Belgrave, but certainly not at Clinton. If it is a question of prop- erty, and that is a point in any decision in this regard, I would be happy to donate two acres of my land overlooking the pond at Bluevale, for a building site.
