She is• always on"the job whether it is stormy or not. And at what- ever hour you call her she is pleasant' and efficient.. The people in the telephonc,service .make cour- tesy a habit. It is part. of the efficiency with which they serve. There are 15,000 men and women engaged in the telephone system of'Ontario and Quebec. They handle over four million Calls every day and, in spite of the constant cry for speed, there is scarcely a case of conscious discour- tesy iscour tesy or neglect. riPHA COMPANY -IS PROUD of these IL 15,000 men and Wooten and has endeavor- ed to tnalce their wqrk as agreeable, healthful and stable as possible. Several hundred present employees have been with the system for more than twenty-five years. This stability of staff maintains high standards of operation and is encouraged by the, Em- ployees' Pension and Benefit Fund, established in 1917, to protect employees in illness or acci- dent, and to provide for their. future and for their dependents. There is also a plan of Employees' Life Insur- ance, by which out of salary, employees may carry without undue burden insurance to care for their dependents. This plan has been ar- ranged in co-operation with Canadian: insur- ance companies at regular rates, IN ADDITION to, this factor of stability an active interest in the telephone system is encouraged by the plan of employees' purchase of shares and by the plan of employee repro- sentation- . Some years ago telephone employees were given opportunity to become 'shareholders the company and 10,390 of them have subscribed' for shares on instalment payments. Eor some years ,also, spokesmen selected by the staff have met with representatives of the'manage- nient to discuss such 'natters as wages, hours, tools and 'working conditions. This has not only stimulated interest but promoted effici- Cncy. mESE THINGS are the basis of the alert - ess and enterprisewhich have become a tradition of telephone work. It is demonstrated among the 4,900 men in the plant department, Over 3,500 of them have • qualified for St. John's Ambulance Corps first aid. certificates and because ..of their outdoor duties they are frequently nearby when acci dents' occur. There have been, many instances in which their voluntary 'reslnnsetlhas saved life slid relieved suffering. The same spirit has become familiar in the enterprise and courage with which operators rise to an emergency.

Council. - During your term as,..Krarderi, we. have found you ever courtecsss, oblig- ing,hstraight forward and business- like' in all the duties appertaining to, that exalted office; and it is with pro- found sorrow that so efficient a mun- icipal head is going to be lost to the colunty, but we sincerely trustyour ability will be appreciated by the municipality in which you choose to reside, and that at some time you may be returned as their representa- tive. We are, however, satisfied that, so far as you arc concerned, it has been a year's' work well done. The enthusiasm with which you have ap- proached all the duties in connection with your office as Warden has prov- ed to us beyond the shadow of a doubt, thdt in your veins courses the blood of a true patr.-iojt, and that you have a real passion for the welfare of the County and the Pi ovine in which y•ou live. The manner,in which you have con- ducted the meetings of the County Council has been of the very highest nattire, being fair to( all, showing partiality to none. We • appreciate the study you have made and the time you. have spent in connection with problems with which the county has been confronted. We extend to you and your noble wife our best wishes fojr a long, use- ful and happy life, and we beg you to accept this sane as a small token of the esteem in which you are held by ydur fellow members of the 1928 council and that in future it will re- call many pleasant experiences dur- ing the year of your Wardenship.
