this year the crop would be
small, but to not have a crop
at all will be a calamity.

PHONE N0.
it started 90 years ago...
90 years ago this fall, Canada's first com-
mercial telephones were installed in Ottawa.
Canada's second Prime Minister, The Hon.
Alexander Mackenzie (who was also Minis-
ter of Public Works) had one set installed
in the Public Works Department; the other
was at Rideau Hall, residence of the Earl
of Dutl"erin, the Governor General. These
phones were usedfor government business
and `for musical concerts to demonstrate
the miracle of the telephone to guests at
Rideau Hall'.
And from that beginning grew Bell Canada!
Today, there is probably not a single person
in Quebec or Ontario who does not, in one
way or another, `use' the services we
provide:
Radio and TV programs are relayed through
our microwave network; businesses com-
municate by voice or teletype, or transmit
data through our facilities; so do news-
papers and the government, police and fire
departments; there are 41/2 million 13e11
Canada phones in homes and offices,
and thousands of public phones. Like
Canada, we of Bell Canada have come a
long way. And one more point: we're
proud that nearly 95% of our shares are
owned by Canadian residents.
