Brock credited past and present Tuckersmith Telephone- commis- sioners with recognizing the need to keep up to date, and said that was how the system remained com- petitive when other small municipal systems were being sold off to Bell Canada when the cost of upgrading became prohibitive. About 200 people attended the grand opening of the new Kippen office, which Brock said is only the first part of a sprucing -up for the company. The Bayfield switching office is scheduled for a face-lift in the coming months, he promised. Brock also pointed out the new building has been constructed debt - free, and without any government assistance. MP Murray Cardiff presented a new Canada flag to the company and offered his congratulations. MPP Paul Klopp also extendeldrhn best wishes and said he has long been a supporter of the independent telephone systems, including his time as a commissioner of the Hay system. Huron County warden Tom Tomes said he was pleased to be present, if surprised. "You're not usually invited to something unless you put money into it," he joked, but said he was glad to see the company prosper without need for government assis- Tender awarded CENTRALIA - Stephen Town- ship has awarded a tender for re- construction of two streets in Cen- tralia to Brotin Devr6lopments Inc.

Trams for sale EXETER - Beginning this fall, the ABCA will be cooperating with area nurseries in the delivery of its: Windbreak and Roadside Tree. Planting Program. The nurseries will serve as distribution points for the over 10,000 two metre hard- woods and 60 cm evergreens pro- vided to area residents and munici- palities annually. Conservation staff say there are several benefits to planting trees in rural areas. Landowners, munici- palities and the Conservation Au- thority can realize the advantages of the Windbreak and Roadside Tree Planting Program, including a reduction in soil erosion due to the implementation of roadside and windbreak planting of such species of Norway maple and white ash trees. Steve Harbum, the ABCA coor- dinator of this program, stresses that "orders should be placed ear- ly," for both the fall and spring plantings. Order forms stating nur- sery locations and other necessary information, can be picked : tap aY the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority's administration office or by calling the ABCA at 235-2610.
