This is the third exchange belonging to the Hay Municipal Telephone System which is being converted to dial. Prior to this cut -over the. exchanges at Grand Bend and Zurich were both changed to the new method. This building was constructed by Zurich Builders' Supply. Release Map Of Freeway Area Release of the department's 1966 edition of the Macdonald - Cartier Freeway (Highway 401) strip map is announced by Highways Minister Charles S. MacNaughton. The distinctive feature of the 1966 production is that the format has been radically changed so that the folder opens like a book. Besides be- ing easier to use in this form, it should prove more durable. As in previous editions, all interchange numbers between Windsor and the Quebec border are plotted along the route. In addition, there is a chrono- logical listing of all inter- changes now in service from west to east, showing the com- munities which may be con- veniently reached via each in- terchange. Other features of the map folder are a section devoted to 13 vacation areas adjacent to the Macdonald -Cartier Freeway, with descriptive material on each, and another headed "driv- ing tips", expressly directed to motorists using this and other Ontario freeways. Among the various aids of interest •to motorists shown by symbols are the 15 service cen- tres now in •operation over the 510 miles of the Macdonald - Cartier Freeway, which is open throughout from Windsor to the Quebec border, there being eight west of Toronto and seven east of that city. -OF- =YEARS GONE - BY - 50 Years Ago JULY, 1916 W.

Here are some ex- cerpts from some metropolitan dailies: In an editorial the Toronto Telegram states: "Virtually ig- nored are the main recommen- dations of the Fowler Commis- sion on broadcasting, Canadian broadcasters and the general public can be deeply thankful that the government has done just this. Not only has the government refused to place all power in the hands of a czar, as the Fowler Commission has proposed, but it provides for in- creasing the number of perma- nent BBG members from three to five.' Roy Shields in the Toronto Star: "In Canada the obscure shiftings of sand in a state- supported broadcasting system repeatedly get front-page treat- ment. And yet, nobody ever seems to watch CBC programs because they can get "The Munsters" and "Gomer Pyle" and all the big Hollywood shows . . ." Bob Blackburn in the Toron- to Telegram: "While no doubt the most significant aspect of the white paper is in the con- siderable strengthening of the BBG, the more dramatic one was the no-nonsense approach to the CBC. The corporation'. has at times been almost con- temptuous of the BBG's author- ity over it and once came close to making a federal case of it (at the time of the notorious Grey Cup hassle)." Nathan Cohen in the Toronto Star: "The government white paper on broadcasting is a dis- turbing and ominous document. It places the CBC in a tighter straight -jacket than ever." JULY, 1956 Ernest M.
