Steer This Way BY LARRY SNIDER All 1972 cars sold in the U.S. have buzzers that sound when the car is put into forward gear, and continue until front seat passengers buckle their seat belts. In some areas it's against the law to drive with defective rear lights. Those baby shoes dangling from the rear-view mirror are sweet and sentimental, but they can obstruct your view. Have them bronzed and made into bookends instead. Auto safety researchers have found that about half the drivers involved in fatal ac- cidents had been drinking. If your emergency brake won't hold on an incline, chances are the brake cables are stretched. They should be adjusted and lubricated. If a defective brake system puts you in the mood for another car, look over some of our great values at Larry Snider MOTORS LIMITED EXETER 235-1640 .

CONTACT Campbell McKinley RR 1, ZURICH Phone 262-5430 Hensall phone rates to increase Basic residence telephone rates in the Hensall exchange would go up five cents a month in 1973 and 30 cents a month in 1974 if the Canadian Transp- ort Commission approves in- creases asked by Bell Canada Friday, November 10. Proposed increases were in- cluded in applications "A", to take effect in 1973, and "B", to be introduced in 1974. The 1973 application asked for increases in basic rates, service charges, long distance and pay phone rates, extensions, and a new 25 -cent charge for some calls to directory assist- ance. J.M. Scott, Bell manager in this area, said increases allow- ed Bell by the CTC last May are being largely offset by in- creased operating costs beyond its control. The company says relief through a rate increase is need- ed to avoid construction cut- backs and deferrals. Service charges would double in two stages, with a 50 -per cern increase in 1973 and a further one-third increase in 1974. Present rate for a new residence phone installation is $11. This would go to $16.50 next year and $22 in 1974. Increases proposed for 1973 for long distance would apply only to the initial charge period and ohly on calls within Bell territory. two cents for custom- er -dialed; five cents for operat- or -handled station -to -station; and 10 cents for person-to-per- son. The 1974 proposed increase is one cent on each overtime minute for all long distance • calls. General increases proposed for 1973 include five cents a month for residence and hotel extensions and 1.5 percent -- with a five cent minimum -- for most other services. Pay phone rates for local calls, which haven't changed in 20 years, would double to 20 cents over a 15 -month conver- sion period, beginning in 1974. New vandal -proof phones with a dial -tone -first feature would be provided. This would permit a caller to reach an operator in an emergency with- out depositing money. The proposed 25 -cent charge for calls to directory assistance would not apply to handicapped persons such as the blind, Nor would the charge be levied on calls from pay phones, or hospitals or hotel rooms. General increases proposed for 1974 --in addition to basic rate boosts --include an addit- ional five cents a month for residence and hotel extensions, and 6.25 percent for most other services, As part of its application to the CTC, Bell is asking approv- al of a five-year plan --to go into effect in 1974 --to make four -party service the new standard in rural areas. As many as 10 customers share a line in some rural areas today. i o®Ie Multi-party service would not be offered to new customers in these areas. Increases in 1974 for residence customers, which would range from 95 cents to $1.65 a month, would depend on the number of telephones in the exchange's local calling area. Under this plan, only single and two-party service would be available in build-up areas of an exchange outside the main urban centre. Commuted mileage charges would be el- iminated for these customers. Customers living in rural areas who have single and two-party service do pay mileage charges, based on quarter -mile units, in addition to their basic rate. Mileage charges would go up in both 1973 and 1974, and under this plan they would be computed in half -mile units beginning in 1974. Monthly increases would depend on the distance the customer is from the urban part of the exchange. Eighty- five percent of Bell customers affected by this part of the plan live within two miles i��a�l HAD YOUR PUMP CHECKED LATELY?
