BELL LINES Did you know that during 1966 we had a total of 56 reports of Cable cut-offs and damages in this district? These were caused by both Outside Contractors and the Public. The Public damages were caused by shot gun blasts, vehicles hitting poles, digging in yards, etc. These interruptions represented approximately 2500 customers out of service, affecting communications to such vital services as Hospital, Fire, Police, Radio and TV. Also affected is the customer on Business and Residence telephone service. It required that your Telephone Com- pany spend an additional 487 man hours to handle this unnecessary task. This makes it difficult to give our customers the lowest priced and most trouble free ser- vice in the world. Most buried cable is under air pressure, so if you believe you have nicked or damaged the cable in any way, do not fill in the area were the buried cable is, but call telephone repair service immediately. They will send a man to repair the cable before too much air pres- sure has been losti • So before you dig, whether it be a large or small job "Call Telephone Repair Service." We will have a man check to see if there is any Cable in that particular location, The service is free and it saves the conven- ience of having your telephone service interrupted. With the first long weekend of the 1967 summer only a few days away, I'm taking a good look at my driving habits. If I find that I've slipped unthinkingly into un- safe driving habits perhaps now is the time to make a mid-year resolution to turn over a new leaf. This will likely be the most exciting summer ever for most Can- adians. Visitors from other countries and other provinces will be joining in our Centennial celebrations and our highways will be busier than ever leading travellers from one community to another. For most visitors routes will be unfamiliar ones. Roads which we use every day or week and to us hold no "mysteries" may some- times be confusing or difficult to a stranger struggling to remember directions or becoming fired after a long day's ride. Simple driving courtesy and a strict "toeing of the line" on safe driving habits could make the trip easier and safer for our visitors . . and ourselves. A real way that every driver could put warmth in his welcome to our visitors is to drive safety and cour- teously on our highways this summer. Who knows, if we all practice this for six months, it could become so automatic that the annual slaughter on our highways might lessen instead of climb each year. • Needless cutting in and out by drivers familiar with a road can confuse another driver searching for road signs; tailgating can lead to an accident if a visitor is unsure of the way. And, really, did belligerent horn-honking ever move traffic any quicker? by K. R.

ALL CHAMPS—Among the winners at the Huron-Perth track meet in Mitchell last week were Ken Mathers, first in the mile; BY LYNDA COULTES The twentieth century will be noted as one of the most progressive periods in the his- tory of the modern world, This epoch will be characterized by change, One of the most pre- derranant differences that will be noted will be that of the changing "role" of women. The old saying "a woman's place is in the home" may have been true of the eighteenth century women, but the story of today's modern woman is re- markably different. Today women are no longer the diffident damsels of the past century. They are out tak- ing their place in society. The labour force is being flooded with women desiring full or part-time employment. The female enrollment at universi, ties has mounted. The career girl is no longer considered as the unfortunate female who could not hook a man. Yes, the status of women is undergo- ing evolution. Why is her position changing so vastly? What has caused her to become so independent and aggressive? What will result from her aggrandisement? Greater education has stimu- lated women's competitive na- ture. They are able to seek employment with the same qualifications as men. A/- though prejudice still rules the masculine world anti-women agitation is being broken down, Employers used to hesitate to hire women, married or con- ternplating marriage for oh- viotti reasons. But the pill has revolutionized the feminine world, It has given women a new freedom and a new feeling of independence. But is this freedom and independence ben- eficial? Is it leading women to more useful, more enjoyable existence? Let us consider a few imminent results. Women are becoming more Masculine. They are no longer shy and reserved, but bold and demanding. They want to be treated as equals and so they shall be. Chivalry is dead. Women no longer occupy their once cherished pedestal, Diseases and ailments now prevalent among men such as heart attacks and ulcers may afflict the female anatomy with increased frequency. And what of the children of the modern women? Will these children know a mother as they should — or will they become one of the statistics of juvenile delinquency toll? This great progress that wom- en are making -- is it worth it? Will these great gains soon be considered great losses? For the sake of women's conscience -- I hope not. For the sake of mankind, our future society — I wonder. And, as I wonder a kind of hopeful nostalgia over- comes me. Would the "role" of women not be better if evolu- tion were carried to its ultimate extent quickly and then return to a more "primitive" form -- that of a mother, the stable pil- lar of her home, a guide and inspiration to those nearest to her? 74 GRADUATES FROM RIDGETOWN SCHOOL Theo Klumpenhower of Gow- anstown was one of74 graduates at the Western Ontario Agricul- . tura!
