The secretary said the sale of the recently -approved $100,000 deben- ture issue has almost been com- pleted. The issue has been sold lo- cally and "very quickly," he indi- cated. Another issue for $100,000 or S":50,000 will be required before the changeover is completed. Most of the cable installation work has been done for the north end of Grand Bend exchange, Crews are now in Oakwood subdi- vision, working south toward the summer resort. Hope for early '62 No target date has been set yet for the changeover although officials hope it will be late in 1961 or early in 1962. The system is still negotiating with Bell Telephone Company Ltd. for installation of facilities at London to handle long distance and information calls. The Bell is having difficulty making provis- ion for this portion of the service, Mr. Black stated. He said, that, at present, "We have every reason to believe we will be ready by the early part of 1962. Debentures for the new ex- change are charged against the in- itiating municipality. Hay Town- ship, but the debt is spread over all the lands of subscribers of the system. Payments will be met out of the system's revenue; there will be no taxation levy. 0 ay C !Id 0 T, ew ' •"f see The Township of Hay is to erect a new clerk's office on the Blind Line, about one and a half miles east of Zurich, it was decided at a special meeting of the council last Friday night.

Reeve V: L. Becker and councillor Del- bert Geiger both voiced opposi- tion to the idea of a new building, but' were over -ruled in their idea of renovating the Township Hall. Cost of erecting a new building will be several thousand dollars higher than the estimate of re- building the Hall. Local building contractor, Don- ald Oke, is being engaged to draw plans for the new building. $2.50 Per Year -5 Cents Per Copy Lumberkings Surge Back With 8-1 Victory In Second Game Of Series The Zurich Lumberkings came through with a decisive victory ov- er the Dashwood Tigers in the se- cond game of the best -of -five ser- ies here on Monday night.
