Then, the Caravans will officially 'go on the road. They will be travelling across the country until mid-November taking the story of Canada's his- tory, from the ice age to the present, to communities which will not be visited by the Con- federation Train. The tractor -trailers are unique in Canada in their design and capacity. Each trailer is 50 feet long, 10 feet wide- and 121/a feet high and is hauled by a 23 -foot tractor. In length alone, Action -will be deferred ,by the McKillop Telephone com- mission to implement a deci- sion of subscribers to amalga- mate the system with Blyth and. Brussels systems. Approval for the new company had been giv- en at a meeting of subscribers held at Winthrop two weeks ago. The decision to withhold ac- tion arose when it was .deter- mined that such a move would require the consent of McKillop Council. At a meeting Monday, attend- ed by members Of council and of the commission, it was agreed the commission would approach both the Bell Telephone System and the Tiickersmith Municipal 'system to determine if there was interest in the McKillop ,system and to determine , the valuation that might be placed on the McKillop systerin When this information is received there Will be further discussions with council A spokesman for the McKillop conamission said in any event,' (Continued 'on Page 4) • each vehicle is about twice the length 'of a city- bus and six times the, length of a compact car. 4.
