Area Phone Connections Necessary .
Representatives of the Tuckersmith 'flow can only have a disturbing affect
Telephone System were properly con- on the community and all the elements
that go to make it up—its schools, its
chuiches, its business and social life..
One can sympathize with the Bell
people in their desire to create tidy ad'-
ministrative set-ups. But this desire
for administrative efficiency must not
take precedence over Bell's responsi-
bility to provide Seaforth and the com-
munity, of which it is the centre, with
proper service. Bell can do no less
than to initiate action to provide the
same connections and service with Sea -
forth neighbors to the east, as it has
done to the west.
tented when it appeared there was
opposition in Seaforth to a7j3ell Tele-
phone proposal to remove long distance
tolls between Seaforth, Clinton and
Hensall.
• The Tuckersmith System—an inde-
pendent municipal system --serves the
' rural area roughly bounded by the
three towns, and including Tuckersmith
and Stanley Townships. For years the
Tuckersmith group had been attempt-
• ing to obtain an agreement with Bell
—which at one time had existed—to
provide for free calls within their area.
Now that Bell at last had agreed, it
was being suggested there would be
opposition from Seaforth.
Seaforth officials were 4:pick to point
out that not only was there no opposi-
tion, but that at no time had Bell ap-
proached either the council or any re-
presentative organization. If there had
been cases of individual opposition, as
.Bell suggested, it was because the pro-
posal had not been fully explained.
Seaforth, it is true, is ' concerned
about Bell proposals, but not that part
which affects Tuckersmith. What con-
cerns Seaforth and the residents of Mc-
• Killop and kibbert, is that at the same
time Bell is providing some increased
benefit's to the west of town, at, of
• course, an increased cost, it is propos-
ing to erect a wall east of town. Under
• the Bell proposal,/ telephone subscrib-
ers of the McKillop, Logan & Hibbert
system will no longer be listed in the
• Seaforth directory. McKillop residents
'three miles from town no longer will
have a Seaforth directory available to
them. •
Beady telephone access within a
community is as important as is access
by road. Decisions that tend to divide
a community by routing phone calls
in directions contrary to the, natural
