Phone has come long way
Someone mentioned recent-
ly how far the telephone
system has come. In some
large Canadian centres, a
caller can dial a wrong
number to 57 countries.
eeutives in several cities
across the country can hold a
conference without leaving
their offices..
In some ways, it seems like
an extension of the old-
Odds'n ends
By Elaine Townshend
This latest development
hasn't reached us, yet, in the
small towns and rural areas,
but it will - the same way
direct dialing, underground
cable and private lines came.
An advance, that has gain-
ed a lot of attention in recent
years, is the convention call.
A number of business ex -
fashioned party line: 20 or
more neighbours could get
together to plan a communi-
ty party or a quilting bee or
just to compare their woes.
The party line must have
been a gossip's paradise!
And when an emergency
struck, such as a fire, one long
ring on the phone brought
PLAN MARRIAGE - Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Riddell of Bar-
rie, Ont., and Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Shipley of Aurora,.
Ontario are very pleased to announce the forthcoming
marriage of their children Jill Evangeline and Bruce
Alexander. The wedding will take place Saturday,
August 7 at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Bar-
rie, Ontario at 6:30 p.m.
Cut assessments
on foam houses
Taxpayers in Huron Coun-
ty, whose homes are insulated
with urea -formaldehyde foam
insulation, will be paying less
in taxes in 1982.
Approximately 75 county
homeowners had the assess-
ment on their homes reduced
by 75 percent subsequent to
an assessment review hear-
ing in Goderich last week.
George Hewson of the
Ministry of the Attorney-
General and the vice-
chairman of the Assessment
Review Board of Ontario
handed down the decision.
The ruling will reduce the
assessment of homes in-
sulated with urea -
formaldehyde foam, by 75
percent while assessment on
land will remain the same.
The decision is only ap-
plicable for the 1982 taxation
year and could mean a reduc-
tion of up to 65 percent on
taxes for some.
Grant Chisholm of
Lucknow, president of the
Huron Chapter of HUFFI
(Homeowners with Urea -
Formaldehyde Insulation)
said the group had advised
homeowners to appeal their -
.notices last fall. He added
that the group was seeking a
100 percent reduction in
assessment but regarded the
ruling as fair.
"We had advised people
•
last fall to appeal.assessment
notices and although we had
asked fora 100 percent reduc-
tion, the ruling is very fair,"
he said.
Gerald Morgan of the
Huron -Perth . Regional
Assessment Office said the
reduction in the assessmentof
buildings with the foam will
only apply for the current tax
year adding that a policy
decision for 1983 has not been
formulated.
The hearing also entertain-
ed a letter from Keith Fitz-
simmons Real Estate of
Wingham which, claimed that
based on their 18 years ex-
perience in real estate in the
Huron -Bruce area, the
estimated value of a house
with the foam insulation was
nil.
Fitzsimmons said he would
estimate the property on
which the house sits to be
devalued 25 percent for
demolition expenses and
farm property to be devalued
$40,000, if the farm house con-
tains the foam.
Chisholm said all HUFFI
members who Can show pro-
of of the installation of the
foam in their homes, are eligi-
ble for the assessment reduc-
tion. He said they may con-
tact him so names can be for-
warded to the regional assess-
ment office in London.

The old-fashioned party line
had its advantages and
disadvantages.
Nowadays many of us have
become accustomed to hav-
ing private lines. We call
friends, whoalsahaveprivate
lines, and we feel secure say-
ing anything that,popsinto
our minds. Occasionally,
though, we call a friend who
doesn't have a private line.
Something slips out that we
wouldn't ordinarily say in
mixed company, and it's on-
ly after we hear the click that
we think, "Oops, I shouldn't
have said that!"
It's hard to imagine, that
one man's desire to help the
deaf, could pave the way to
tremendous opportunities for'
communication for all of us.
Now we can talk across
town, across the country and
across the sea. We can talk to
moving vehicles on land and
water. .
We can speak privately or
link several connections'for a
conference call.
And, of course, we can have
the convenience of a phone in
every room, if we wish. To-,
day's phones are not only con-
venient but decorative as
well.
I wonder if Mr. Bell dream-
ed that one day callers would
be put "on hold."
Better yet, could he have
imagined that one day deaf
people would be able to "talk".
to each other via computeriz-
ed telephones.
The system certainly has
come a long way from the
string with the tin canon each
end.
