HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1975-03-05, Page 13You may: be aware that Bell Canada is ini- tiating directory assistance charging in the, Lucknow:exchangearea, starting March. 9th, 1975. I thought it might be helpful to review the plan and to stress that no one need ever incur an unnecessary charge. Most people use Directory Assistance only as a last resort, when the phone 'number they need is not yet listed in their directory. These necessary requests will continue to be free. leg the unnecessary calls we want to discourage to 'ensure reliable service for those who really need it. That's why, beginning March 9th, 1975, there will be a 25 cent charge for each phone number provided by a directory assistance operator when the requested number is listed in your phone book. Every billing month, the first three such requests made froth your residence phone will be free After that, the charge will apply. Necessary calls, for numbers not yet. listed in your directory are still free. And whether the number is listed • or not, there is no charge for anyone who has a disability that makes it difficult to use a directory or for persons 65 years or over. If youqualify for an exemption, just call your Belt Canada business office and ask for a special exemption form. Also free are emergency calls and calls from pay phones, hotel, motel and hospital rooms. In closing, I'd just like -to repeat that you can avoid unnecessary directory assis- tance charges,by looking in the book before calling. The number you need is probably listed. (In 1973. our directory assistance operators handled more than 220 million calls—more than 70 ,per cent of them were, for numbers already listed in the phone book.) It's also a good idea to keep emergency' and frequently called numbers up-to-date in the space provided in the introductory pages of your directory.

On Friday, February 21st, our Grade 6 class left on a camping trip. Before leaving we prepared our meals and equipment.At 10.30 we were ready to go. Sean Fitz- gerald and Cathy Lawrence each, brought a sled to carry our supply of water. It was about a half hour walk before we reached the area . where we were going to set up our campsite. Before reaching. it, we had considerable trouble with the sleds. The water containers kept falling. off. After reaching the . campsite, we looked for &clear area to set up our camp. The, washroom monitors were assigned to set. up the washrdoms while the rest of us set up our tents and started our fires. We had trouble starting our campfires because we' didn't work together as a group and we didn't gather enough wood. Mr. Kummer had to help start some of the fires for us. Some peoples' dinners were not as well cooked as they would have liked. They will know how to cook them next time. After eating we made sure our fires were out and cleaned up our campsites. 'The washroom monitors took down the washrooms. When we got cleaned up Mr. Kummer directed us in a game of tag. Many people were' very tired. They could hardly walk back: Mr. Kummer told us all to have a good bath when •we got home. When he asked our opinion of the day, we all. said it was fun. Stand up and be counted—let everyone know where you stand. It's a good idea to do all you can with • what you have—and start doing it today. Huron Third In Pork Production In 0 tad° A meeting of Huron County ork Produers Associa- tion, President Eric• Moore of Goderich told the gathering that Huron County producers shipped more than a quarter of a million hogs to market in 1974. The total number of producers was' 1998. The county is in third place in pork output in Ontario. Keith Weedon, the chairman of the Ontario Pork Producers_Mark- eting Board, told the' farmers at the cutoff point of 180 pounds, where a severe price penalty is imposed, will be extended to graduate down to 200 pounds.- This has been a sore point with many hog producers and has been raised at numerous pork meetings. When asked when this would come into effect, Mr. Weeden said that negotiations with packers and governments are not completed, so a definite date is not known yet. Of great concern to the pork board, he said, is the imposition, of import restrictions by the U.S. The protection the Government gave to the beefmen in restricting' beef imports to a five year average, has bvickfired, to the porkmen, as ,the Americans restricted our pork exports to almost fifty percent. Decisions made now on". the number, of sows to keep, will determine the amount of pork coming to market in 1976, he said. The market in Quebec has dried up With an increased production there of 19% and a target of another TIP TO MOTORISTS Use common sense—steer clear of driving practices that may result in injury and death. 10%. In referring to labour disputes, Mr. Weeder' contended that strikes affected producers' cost and in the end, the cost to consumers: It shOuld not be alloWed, he said, that innocent people get hurt:The disruption in the market place is fantastic, and producers and con- sumers should get together to find a. solution. Maybe it should, be compulsory arbitration after a certain time. On supply manage- ment, he said that he' was not against quotas,, but it muss be a national program in order to work. The export possibilities to Japan are limited right now, as the Japanese government has a tariff policy to protect their fanners. Mr. Weeden spoke with fourteen trad- ing companies on his recent trade mission to Japan and many of them doubted these restrictions would last, as grain is too expensive to import and foreign exchange is limited. There is some competition from 'Taiwan, but the quality ,of' that pork is low, so Canadian pork is preferred. The potential is enormous, he said, if one only realizes that in Tokyo alone live as many people as half the total Canadian population. In other business before the meeting, Rort Dougal of Exeter was elected to represent Usborne Township, to replace Alvin Cud- more who passed away last year in a tragic automobile accident, and Tom Pappin of Seaforth was elected to rePlace Ken Kernigan of Tuckersmith Township, who went out :of pork production. .••
