They weren't particularly interested in the actual laundry procedure, but they enjoyed churning the wheels of the old machine round and round. Early washing methods were part of the display - In Pioneer Homes. (Shelley McPhee photo) No decision on museum from Morris Township MORRIS TWP. - Morris council recently met with a representative of Ontario Hydro at a meeting to discuss any plans Hydro has for a transmission line through the township. Sheilagh Laurance attended the meeting on behalf of Hydro and assured council members that the course the route will .take has not been plotted out definitely as yet. Morris Township is in the study line, but she . stressed Hydro will not have its route picked until next May and representatives will be coming back to the municipal coun- cils'for their comments next March. Imo business, council made no deci- sion on a letter from county council regar- ding the Pioneer Museum at Goderich. 'A committee of county council has proposed the museum be restored over the next five years with member municipalities expected to kick in a certain percentage share every year. Morris Township would be expected to contribute $9,080 per annum to the museum project. Clerk -Treasurer Nancy Michie reported later that council made no decision on the matter , and will likely discuss it at the Dec. 3 meeting. Another letter was read at the meeting, this time from the Blyth Community Centre Board. That board has purchased a parcel of land for $14,200 and is asking for a grant of $2,130 from Morris toward the purchase. Morris council members decided they will give the matter consideration in next year's budget, but the 1984 budget has been long set and nothing was set aside for the expen- diture this year. Council granted.$100 to the Brussels Santa Claus parade set for Dec. 8.

The;DMSS4100 will, be the host or home swit- tet satellite Pits, known as Remote adules• (RLMs) in Auburn (210 euat08lters),. Blyth (815 customers) and Brussels (1,220 customers). They go into service this Saturday, December 1. The DMS -100 machine will be activated for Clinton exchange customers (2,270) on Saturday, December 15. As of December 1, in the exchanges of Auburn and Blyth, telephone numbers will be recorded automatically when the customer dials long distance calls (direct distance dialing or DDD). The operator will no longer request the number. The new system, known as. Automatic Number Iden- tification (ANI), records details for billing purpose. The Clinton and Brussels ex- changes already have the ANI feature. Customers in Auburn, Blyth and Brussels exchanges will have to dial the full seven digits for all local. calls. With digital swit- ching, a call will not be completed, if only four digits are dialed. In addition to providing the most sophisticated switching equipment available for customers, the system also has such optional features as Touch -Tone, Call Forwarding, Speed Calling, Three -Way Calling and Call Waiting, Croome said. These will be available December 1 in Auburn, Blyth and Brussels and December 15 inn Clifton. Qn December' 1, Auburn,, Blyth and r!Brusaela,custemers iAl1., notice a different sounding dial tone Complete. dialing infor- mation and notification of other changes are contained in inserts Sent to customers with their monthly bills 7,'he•new repair number for Auburn, Blyth and Brussels customers Will be611. "These digital Machines use the most ad- vanced microelectronic technology in the telecommunications industry," Croome said. "The RLM allows us to extend this technology into smaller areas at a much faster pace and less cost than if we had to build complete new switching centres of the traditional type." The DMS -100 and its RLM are products of the Bell group of companies. Whey were designed and developed by Bell -Northern Research and manufactured by Northern Telecom. The DMS -100 and RLM operate on a com- bination of software and microelectronics to include those features necessary for good telephone service as well as to exploit the in- herent capabilities. of digital technology to generate new services compatible with the expanding needs of the business and residential communities. Both the software and hardware of these machines is modular which gives them built-in flexibility. In addition, everything is duplicated so that in case of a failure in one part, the duplicate part carries on. "Bell's digital network, using the DMS family of switching machines, combined with our advanced transmission systems, is probably the most advanced in the world," Croome said. Aa :of December 18, subscribers in the Auburn and Goderich exchanges will be able to call each other without incurring long distance charges. Auburn customers who were surveyed. in January, 1984, were 91 per cent in favor of the expansion of their local calling area, although monthly telephone rates in Auburn will increase. "The monthly charge for telephone ser- vices is based on the total telephone numbers that can be reached without pay- ing long distance charges," Croome said. "For Auburn customers, the charge will br- ing a substantial increase in the number of other customers a person can call locally." Auburn is in Rate Group 4 where the residence individual line monthly rate for basic service ;_cess to the telephone net- work) is $6.10 nd for a business individual line, $14.35. Rate Group 4 has a maximum of 3,500 telephone numbers that can be called local- ly. Adding Goderich numbers exceeds the maximum by at least five per cent and means that Auburn exchange has to go one rate group higher. As part of Rate Group 5, the Auburn ex- change is in a category where it could ex- pand its local calling more than double its present total and still be within the max- imum number of 7,500 telephones that can be called locally. In Rate Group 5 the residence individual line monthly rate for basic service is $6.40 and for business, $16.45. There is no increase in rates for customers in the Goderich exchange whish is in Rate Group 6.
