Mr. Hill was educated at the old SS No. 4 Colborne township school, but he says "I quit when I was 12 to help on my dad's farm. 1 just never had enough education."

Hill is, very well-known in agriculture circles throughout the province. He is credited with organizing a far- mers' club in* Benmiller the early 1920s that " eventually became the Federation of Agriculture.

Bell wants customers to use telephone books, not information desk , operators If you can't be bothered looking -up a'qelepl=ione number and take the easy way out. by asking information you can ex- pect a bill for the service after February 9, 1975. Bell Telephone has in- stigated a new charge for the directory assistance . service for those customers that use it so they do not have to go through the bother of getting' out the telephone book. The charge is 25 cents per telephone number given that is listed in the 'telephone direc- tory. The charge will be added to the monthly bill only if, the resident customer requests , more than three numbers in a month that are listed ire his or her telephone ..book. The move was made by Bell 00000€ JOJJ0 MEAT.SAVINGS SCHNEIDERS glIZRY BOLOGNA LB.

Directory Assistance operators handled more than 220 million calls in 1973, 70 percentof which were listed in the phone book. ' The company hopesto provide a quality assistance service for those customers who need it for num- bers not listed in the book or for those who prefer the operator to lookup the number for them. By charging individual customers on their use of. -the service the Company hopes .to have the customers who use the -service the most, bear the brunt of the expense. Surveys done indicate that about 50 percent of the calls to directory assistance are made by only 10 - percent of the customers. Not,all ca11s,.t,p_ the operator will cost ..you money: The first three a month--ar^e free as well as • calls about numbers not listed in the directory, calls from hospital, hotel or motel rooms and • emergency calls. People calling directory assistance from a pay ,phone will not , be charged nor will calls made about long distance numbers that are not listed, be ' charged. People with physical or men- tal 'handicaps will be exempt from the minor charge. Senior citizens over the age of '65 will also be granted free service. Bell has worked with federal and provincial agencies to work out a method of providing directory assistance to the old or handicapped who may not be able to use the telephone directory easily. Most organizations :that assist the handicapped and elderly have a supply of special exemption forms for their mem- bers. Bell business offices have a supply of the forms as well and any customer eligible for the exemption may call one of these organizations or their local Bell office to, have -an exemption form mailed out to them. If your phone hill in March has an extra charge. for direc- tory assistance on it, don't get angry; because after all it.' ,,probably is a charge that should never have appeared there had you kept your - telephone book handy....and used' it..
