Clinton News-Record, 1984-12-19, Page 23HAPPY 70th P110 FROM YOUR FAMILY Bell Canada busy during holiday season CLINTON - Christmas Dayis the busiest day of the year for long &tance-calling. This year, Bell Canada expects close to one million lung distance calls will be placed from telephones in Ontario going to other locations in the province, across Canada and around the world. Nation-wide, the total number of long distance calls could reach six million in - eluding operator -assisted and direct -dialed calls. Most calls will be dialed direct by customers since that's the cheapest and fastest way to call long distance. In Clinton on Christmas Eve, Bell expects about 150 operator -assisted calls in addition to thousands more direct -dialed calls. Christmas Day should see about a 75 per cent increase in operator -assisted calls, than on a regular business day. On fhrictmic F.uv 11P11 PYnPr'tc inns distance calling to increase after 5 p.cn. and continue throe g F. the night. From early morning through to 7 a.m. on Christmas Day, there'll be a busy period because of a large number of overseas calls into different time zones. "We expect calling to pick up again around 10 a.m. and continue through Christmas Day and evening," says Peter Croome Bell's local manager. New Year's Eve is busier than New Year's Day, so Bell expects the heaviest calling period will be from midnight, New Year's Eve, until about 3 a.m. Mr. Croome advises callers they ma) have a better chance of getting their calls through by placing them in non -peak hours. Some circuits may be overloaded (a busy signal or no dial tone) as busy times because of the heavy demand on particular lines. Callers should try again later. Mr. Croome offers the following advice for placing Christmas calls; A bit of planning before the holidays will help calls go through smoothly. Callers can save time by getting the telephone numbers they need in advance. Directory Assistance operators at "1„ plus the area code if required, plus 555-1212, can provide out-of-town telephone numbers for all of North America. For overseas directory assistance, cullers need only dial "0" and ask the operator to get the number. It's also a good idea to check the front pages of the phone book ahead of time for discount rates and the times when they app- ly"So, if you plan your calls and keep m mind the time differences, you should have an easy time getting through to say 'Merry Christmas' and 'Happy New Year'," says Mr, Croome. Stanley Township winds down activities STANLEY TWP. - After more than a year's excitement and involvement while guilding their municipal complex from idea to spectacular reality, Stanley township councillors areback to dealing with the routine, unspectacular yet very necessary matters that concern their township. "We are wound right down. There's nothing new since the new building", Clerk Mel Graham commented after the December meeting of Stanley council. During a discussion of the various options regarding the future of the Huron County Pioneer Museum, councillors were unanimous in, questioning the wisdom of spending a large sum of money renovating • the present building.
