If anyone wanted to keep a Clinton
phone, they could do so by paying an
additional $116.50 monthly charge.
. "There's no way we can afford that
kind of money," Mr. Buffinga said.
So far, only two businesses have
decided to keep their Clinton phones•k

-Garage, both:of Landesboro_
Fourteen. -of the subscribers along
• the concession met with Mr. Croome
on February 19, when he explained in
great detail the reasons for adjusting
the exchanges.
Mr. Croome said that it wasn't
ecOnomically sound to have two, ex-
changes on :the same road, "The
capital required to keep both ex-
changes is too great."
He pointed out that the $186,000
being spent in the exchange in the
past year was a great deal of money
and Bell was trying to give the best
stuck in
the middle
service possible.
When 'asked if the 13y1th exchange
could have free calling into the
Clinton exchange, he said that the loss
in long distance revenues wouldn't
allow local calling.
However, the group has since
learned that if 60 per cent of the
. subscribers in both exchanges voted
•_ in favor• of _the move."' tree
could come in. But all subscribers
would have a slight increase in their
monthly rate.
• In -mid March, the Committee to
Keep the Clinton Exchange had 28
subscribers sign a petition to get the
Clinton exchange, including 11
presently on the Blyth exchange, but
• they were informed last wede by Mr.
Croome that they needed 100 per cent
of those on the road, and were four
subscribers short.
On Monday night, the group went to
Hullett council to try and get the line
•
stopped, but council had already
signed a paper giving Bell the right of
way to lay the cable down the con-
cession.
Last week, the group also sent a
letter to MP Murray Cardiff, asking
him to look into the matter, but had
heard nothing as of presstime.

The 'fever is complicated, not
only does it cause a great desire to
be outdoors but many sufferers
also have a desire to make major
changes to the interiors of their

wallpaper books and paint chips
drive the sufferer wild and many
people move to a new residence
entirely.

that these generally go unfulfilled.

Board ofed. to investigate floodlight
" BY DAVE SYKES
The Huron. County Board of
Education will investigate the theory
of discontinuing the use of floodlights
aroundschools at night in, an effort to
curb vandalsim on school propertr.
John Henderson, chairman of the
management committee,, presented a
report to the board Tuesday that
recommended the use of outside
floodlights at schools be discontinued
to. deter vandalsirn and other illegal
activities. Henderson told the board
that the Ontario Provincial Police
suggested that IA schools are left in
total darkness, any lights seen around
the building will alert neighbours and
pollee.
• . "The ()PP have suggested that
there is not as much damage if there
ate no lights around a school," he
said. "And we could also conserve
energy at -the same time."
Board member Shirley Hazlitt said
that . although the OPP may have
-suggested .such a move there was no
study to support the theory and asked
the board to try it for a trial period.
"We could maybe turn the lights out
for a trial period and the spring and
summer would be a god time to test
the proposal," she said.
- Lighting around school buildings is .
used all year round, even during the

"Vandalism runs in cycles or

areas, perhaps vandals are more
tempted by more lights."

'short because rixost vandalsim will be

"We should delay the trial period to
February to see the difference bet-
ween summer and winter."
-T-r-ustee--herb--T-urkheirn--said-that
while some were copcerned over
policing of the rural areas the board
should also have some input froln the
municipal police forces in the County.
"We should hear from the
municipal forces because they may
feel differently about it," he said.
"Most of the damage is occuring in
the larger schools anyway."
The board agreed to wait another
month before adopting any tecom-
mendations or initiating a trial
program. They will solicit reports
from school principals and municipal
police officials about the program as
well. ,
Some school boards have aban-
doned the use -of outside lights and
found the practice to be an effective
deterrent against vandalism. The
OPP also support the practit-e
claiming that if a school is left in total
darkness, any lights in the area will
give neighbours and police cause for
investigation.
