Overseas Calls Forp The Festive
Season
Just a reminder to anyone planning to make overseas
calls during the bud• holiday periods of December 24-26 and
December 31 to January 2. Advance reservations for suck calls
will be taken starting Monday, November 28. from 9:00 a.m.
To reserve a call; just ask your Long Distance Operator to
connect you with the Overseas Operator for the country that
you wish to call. The Oversea.s'Operator can then arrange all
the details of, the call with you. If at all possible', it's a good
idea to make the calls before or after two peak calling periods.
That way no reservations are necessary and your call should
go through quickly and easily. -
Not. So Long Ago
"TELEPHONE OPERATORS ARE NOT PERMITTED 'TO •
RETORT AT THIS BUILDING AT ANY HOUR OF DAY OR
NICHT IN BICYCLE COSTUME." Believe it or not, that's a
quotation from a telephone company bulletin dated 1895. And
that same year, a women's fashion magazine said, "Let women's
business attire be black, brown, or grey serge. Black Ls pre-
ferred on account of the unwritten law governing the .style of
dress by many self-supporting women." How the styles have
changed in,almosit three-quarters of a century, and personally,
I think our telephone girls today look pretty attractive In their
bright, gay °Colors. But Operators' clothes aren't the only
things that have changed round the telephone company during
the last 71 Years. There is no, shouting now when talking Long
Distance, it's just like speaking to someone across a desk; it s
possible to dial a - ft -continent calls in seconds for fraction of
the cost of 71 years ago. In fact, our Operators today preside
over boards keyed to a communications network unimagined
71 years ago. All those years of research and development
have made your telephone the most modern, trouble-free, rea-
sonably -priced phone in the world.

Futureo! Medical Services "Uncertain"
ncerta►nrlr
The president of Huron Co-.
operative Medical Ser vt:•.es, Gor-
don Kirkland, RR 3 Lucknow,
warned that the future of co-
op mel li al services is "rater
uncertain" dine to the Dom-
inion government's 'launching
of a medicare piograni.
Then he asked members to
•think carelirlly before d gipping
their HCMS coverage. He said,
"OMSIP 'has not seriously- af-
fected us as ypt." Then added
that competition is as healthy
in the., medical insurance busi-
ness as in any other.
Mr. Kirkland informed the
200 members at the annual
me -ting and turkey banquet in
Ontario Street United Church
auditorium, tVIonday evening
that the board of directors was
considering paying claims on
the Ontario Medica, Associa-
tion's specialist tariff of fees,
rather than the general tariff
now covered by contracts.
The board has already in-
structed the HCMS office staff
in Clinton to conduct a survey
of claims ,over the next few
months, to ascertain just what
the cost of current claims
would have' been if paid on the
specialist rates. Approval for
the Department of Insurance
would have to be approved for
this added benefit.
The financial position of the
medical co-op is good, mainly
due to an increa.e in rates in
August, 1965.
Members approved the tram
fer' of $18,112 profit for the
year ended on July 31, 1966,
to the general reserve fund.
Frank Thompson of the co-op's
auditing firm, , explained the
financial report to the mem-

Four directors were re-elect-
ed to the 12 -man board by the
membership. These were Mrs.
