The company says the plan also reflects the higher `costs and the diffifuit conditions under which . service is furnished beyond the limits of built-up areas. Bell's non -urban service plan is part of, the. company's second application andwould go into effect January .1, 1974, if ap- proved by the' Canadian Tran- sport',Commission. Four -party service would become the new, standard and - the present multi-party service, which can have as many as 10 subscribers on a line, would be phased out over five years. The rate for the residence subscriber to the riew four -party service would be the multi-party rate in effect .Jan. 1, 1974, plus 95 cents to $1.65 a month depen- ding on the number of telephones . in an exchange's local calling, area. Multi -parity rates for basic residence service currently range from $3.00 to $5.15 a month. Multi-party customers would retain their existing service until they move or until four -party service is available throughout. their exchange. ' Another major change would take place in clusters of population, such as villages scattered throughout the ex- change, where urban -grade in- dividual and two-party service as well as rural ihulti-party ser- vice are now available. Under the plan, commuted. mileage charges for urban -type services in these communities would be eliminated and multi- party and four -party services would' not be offered. •Customers living in rural areas who have chosen urban - grade 'individual or two-party service now pay basic rate for 'these services plus an increment, for each quarter -mile beyond the urban area. This incremen- tal rate hasn't been changed since 1927. This rate would be CARVING MATEI�AL Materials needed: •, cardboard box pot large spoon • knife 4 cups vermiculite (available at• garden store).

Indian Kathakali Dance Popular with Canadians KERALA, India — It is not an unusual sight to see a number of young 'Indian men working, out ingymnasiums with dedication and. diligence throughout India. However, unlike --marry- -of ' their counterparts from othdr countries, who may be train- ing for the Olympic Games or some other sporting endeavour, the Indian lads have quite an- other objective in mind. And although they won't be running in a race, or perform- ...ing gymnastic events, these men must be in perfect •cbadi- tion for' their chosen profes- , sion. The field is Indian dancing, and in some cases, training takes from five to seven years. As an example, aspirants for the Kathakali dance master the difficult technique of the art form slowly but surely. The dance is kneaded into his sys- tem by a process of massage, i,exercise.and technical 'training. F The result is extraordinary elasticity of the body. The a a . i dancer, in addition, will also, have a complete mani- pulation of the eyes, and con- trol of every face muscle David Albert Brereton graduated at the Autumn Con- vocation from the University of Western Ontario with a B.A. in Psychology and Sociology.

The technique of .Kathakali -represents-India's ancientstradi - tion when dramas were acted and sung. The technique is , more than pantomime and dance, combining vivid and verile drama, abstract dance and an interpretative dance. Exclusively performed by men, its accent is on the more force- ful aspect of dance. The dance whichis in vogue today evolved from an older - ' form sometime between the end of the 16th century and beginning of the 17th. The elaborate costume, ' strange mask -like make-up and gorge- ous crowns, are all reminiscent of Kathakali's folk traditions.
