Zurich Citizens News, 1964-12-10, Page 6a PAGE SIX New Dial System leans Added Cost To Zurich PUC THURSDAY, DECEMBER 0, 1964 Manager of the Zurich Hydro - Electric and the Zurich Water System, Earl Flaxbard, has been granted an increase in salary of $250 per annum in addition to a car allowance when he finds it necessary to use his own personal automobile on PUC business. This was announced at coun- cil's Wednesday night meeting by PUC chairman Ken Breakey. Breakey told council that the wage hike was made imperative with the switch -over to a dail telephone system. He said that Mr. Flaxbard has to hire a "tele- phone sitter" in the event that neither he or his wife are at home to answer trouble calls. Prior to dial, it was a simple matter to leave a number at which he could be reached, with the local operator. Mileage for the Flaxbard car is believed definitely cheaper than using the PUC truck for long distance driving. Mr. Breakey said that Mr. Flaxbard sometimes has to make business trips out of Zurich and on such occasions will be paid 10c per mile for the first 100 miles and 71c per mile for every mile thereafter. October expenditures for the PUC amounted to $2,401.24. Chairman Breakey also said that the first debenture of $1000 plus interest had been paid. 0 BLUEWATER Mrs. Alice Johnston received word that she had successfully passed her examinations in hairdressing at the Marvel School in Toronto.

It all begins innocently enough. 1 learn that there is going to be • a production, in a city theatre, of one of the plays the kids are studying in school. The date is a month away. "Wouldn't it be grand," I coo to myself, "if the youngsters could see the real thing? It would be an experience they'd never forget. It would kindle a real interest in the drama. It would show them that Shake- speare (or Shaw) is exciting, sad, funny, romantic, not just a whole lot of stuff like rising and falling action, memory work, suspense, pathos, and dra- matic irony." "Right!" I say to myself, firm- ly. "We'll do it. These kids are going to have their chance." I contact the other teachers. They are enthusiastic. I contact the principal. He is not, but clears it with the school board. The teachers ask the grade elevens how many would like to see "My Fair Lady", the mus. ical based on the play "Pyg- malion", which they are study- ing. About half the hands go up. When it is announced that we'll be attending a matinee and will miss half a day's school, the rest of the hands go up. of a spavined water -buffalo, Mr. Smiley, the old 'impresario, lum- bers into action. Phone the theatre. Yes, they can give us 142 tickets for that date. Cali the bus company. Yes, they can shoe -horn us into four buses on that date. Fire off a confirmation letter to the theatre, accompanied by the down payment, a cheque issued on Mr. Smiley's personal overdrawn account. Everything is running: like oil. And just about here, gravel begins to get into the gears. Six kids who didn't want to go have decided they'd like to. They are added to the list and a phone call produces tickets for them. For three weeks before the big day, teachers accost Mr. Smiley in the halls and hand him amount like $29,84, This is for "nine tickets for the show and three bus fares except George Jones lost a dollar so I loaned it to him but I had only 83 cents and Mary Smith's mother won't let her go and she wants her money back but I haven't her name ticked off so I don't know if she gave it to me and what should I do?" Two days before we're to go, the bus company informs that only three buses will be avail- able. Mr. Smiley raises hell and another bus. The day be- fore we leave, eight of the kids haven't produced a nickel, three of them have changed their minds and won't go, and four are at home sick. Mr. Smiley, the poor old divil, flies about like a dart in a wind. storm, trying to make tickets, bus seats and bodies come out even.

Only two kids have for- gotten their tickets. Only one is bus sick Only three have tried to sneak a smoke. Eight hours, 200 miles and one cultural experience later, Mr. Smiley is delivering to her home, 14 miles out of town, the girl who forgot to tell her par- ents to meet the bus on return.
