A construction program
started this fall by Maitland
Teleservices is nearing
completion, •
The program has involved
installation of buried cable
and service wires on the 9 and
10 cencessions and 15 and 16
concessions of Grey Town-
ship, the 3 and 4 concessions
of Morris Township as well as
in the Ethel area.
The 35 miles of cable and
approximately 12 miles of
service wire was placed by
The Telephone Cable and
Wire Company. The cable at
a cost of approximately
$250,000, additional switching
equipment that also was
required will cost ap-
proximately $50,000 ad-
ditional.
According to officials the
construction program will
provide Maitland Teleser-
vices customers with a more
reliable service but wi.1.l not
reduce the present line loads.
However, on the 9 and 10
concessions of Grey an im-
proved grade of service will
result since a large cable has
been placed from the swit-
ching centre to service this
area.
Maitland Teleservices do
not plan any further 'ex-
penditure at this time to
reduce line loads. To do this,
it was indicated a further
expenditure of $500,000 would
be required.
The exchange serves

December 4 is Bible Sunday
The switch to metric has
made us recognize the place
which measurements and
standards play in our
everyday lives. As we drive
along the highway, speed
regulations and distance
indicators are strange, and
we find ourselves desperately
trying to convert to more
familiar terms.
- The old, reliable markers
have been ,removed and
everything seems strange.
