Miss Helen McCarthy, left, and Mrs. Jackie Harrison, both
former Goderich Public Utilities Commission employees,
have been called back to service in an effort to complete the
transcribing of local billing Information for a program which
will see all customer bills In Goderich prepared by a com-
PUC switches to new
computer selling
system. December 1
Two ormer employees of the
GoderiA Public Utilities Com-
mission have been called back
into service for a few weeks as
the commission begins the final
wrap --up of a coding exercise
which will switch its billing
system over to. a computer
program.
Helen McCarthy, now retired
from the local P.L.C. and for
mane 'years the utilities office
manager and Mrs. Jackie
Harrison. a former employee
who has left work to' take up
the role of a homemaker, are
now engaged in preparing a
s on,version form for each one of
the -2,800 P.L.C. customers in
Goderich.
The former conveys all per-
tinent utility data for each
customer to the London P.U.C.
-computer.
Since March 1, "192, the
London P.L.C. has been
preparing the monthly bilis for
all Goderich industrial and
commercial accounts. As of
December 1 this year they will
prepare 'all the Local bills, as
well as ,maintain a number of
records_ and provide statistical
information for the local com-
mission.
Goderich is the first utility to
adopt the London P.U.C.'s
complete new program which
combines billing, records and
statistics.
Bills will be mailed direct to
customers in Goderich from
London but the accounts will
continue to be paid at the local
�. L'C'crf�ice.
According to Goderich P.U.C.
officials the. program offers
economic advantages to the
utility in addition to prompt,
increased statistical infor-
mation.
The present bi-monthly bill
concept will remain. Rather
than bill one' half the town each
month, as is the„ present prac-
tice, the town will be divided
into eight zones with each zone
being billed six times yearly,
Some customers will ex-'
perience higher consumption on
their first bill under the new
system as it will be for a longer
period of time than they are ac-
customed to. However, after the
first billing, their accounts will
level .off to their normal
average amount.
Commercial, industrial and
all -electric accounts will con-
tinue on a monthly billing
procedu re. .

DIAMOND FINGER- PRINTING
RARE, EXACT SCIENCE
To David Anstett of Clinton,
fingerprinting, can mean the
difference of hundreds of
dollars.
To David, however, finger-
printing doesn't mean fingers,
it means diamonds, and David
is one of the rare breed of men
who can pick a diamond up and
after close examination, tell
you exact details about it, sort
of fingerprinting. No two
diamonds are ever alike,"David
says, and even though they may
look .the same to the layman,
subtle differences in colour, cut
and clarity can vary the price
greatly.
To detect these differences in
one of natures purest and most,
desirable of all gems is
David's profession. He is a
qualified diamond appraiser,
the only one in Huron County
and one of a select few in On-
tario.
He graduated last May from
the Gemological.Institute of
America in New York City after
;2 months of tedious correspon-
dence courses and a ten day
laboratory and exam session in
New York.
David, 20, works out of an of-
fice at his father's jewellery
store in down town Clinton and
using hundreds, of dollars of)
exacting equipment,. he is able
to tell, exactly, the quality and
value of a diamond, including
its `measurements, weight
proportions, finish, clarity,
color and 'even a detailed
description of the mounting.
Such precise grading calls for a
high degree of knowledge of
diamonds. A complete
quality statement or appraisal
supplied with every new pur-
chase. This is our guarantee.
