The Bruce Trail Aociation this week announced a plan to
construct .a series of log cabin -style shelters at strategic locations
along the popular nature trail which .extends all the way from
Tobermory to the Niagara Peninsula. .
The open -front rustic shelters will be basically constructed from
cedar telephone poles donated to the Association by Beli CanadaBell is removing many of its poles throughout Ontario as part of a
continuing program to place telephone facilities -out of sight and
underground.
First of the shelters, 'abou 10 feet by 16 feet iliize is expected
to be completed by earlysummer and will be located near Meaford,
Ontario. Long range plans call for shelters spaced about 10 miles
apart along the length of the trail — a good days hike from each
other.
A Bruce Trail official stated that while the gift of the poles solves
one majora problemothers remain. These include finding suitable
locations, additional funds to cover construction costs and other
material required.
"However we forsee no rordiffiicxlties in completing.our plans
to have one of the finest tourist attractions in- the Province," he
,added.
* * *Here are a few tips for long distance callers. Jot down .the
important points you want to cover before you place your call and
keep a scratch pad - and pencil handy in case you want to write
something down during your conversation. Check your telephone
directory for Area Codes and Long Distance Rates. Don't forget that
rates get lower as the hour gets later.
* * *
If you leave a babysitter in charge when you go out, don't forget
to leaye her a number where you can be reached. She should know
where emergency numbers such as Fire, Police and Doctor are -
located too. 'Your phone book provides you with a special space for
these numbers r right on the inside front cover. If you haven't
already filled in these numbers,' why not do it now. Your babysitter
may never have to use them, but you'll feel more secure knowing she
has them handy,.: ' -
