Miller, Mayor of Clinton, who recalls helping to build the 'first line of the .IVIcKil- lop System reaching from a point about four miles east of the Ceme- tery corner on Highway 4, to that corner and then. into Clinton. He and Scott Hawthorne (who was the first lineman of the system) helped to string ,the line there. First telephones, as the Mayor re. calls, were put in at the honle of his father, W, J. Miller, and at the home of Mrs. Matthias Glew where Henry Glew now lives, Mayor Miller ,also recalls help- ing to dig the holes for the posts on the line over in the Summer- hill area, and recalls that his fath- er and John Shanahan put in the first poleo,. Also assisting at the, time were George Mann, Lyle Brown and Richard Bailey. In the beginning of the system a Mr. Cuthill, Winthrop, was the secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Clara Rumball, who still lives on Rat- tenhury Street West, not very far from the new dial exchange build- ing in Clinton, was the manager of' the Clinton central. Mayor Mil- ler recalls that the cost to a con- sumer for telephone service for a year was, at that time, 80.72. . BRUCEFIELD .pwrox Nvws.-R4com Fire Dept.

SS 4 FORUM (By Mrs. Ira Merrill) The SS 4 Goderich Township Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Irvine Tebbutt this week, with 11 members present. The subject for discussion! was "The Family Farm". The members agreed with the statement that many people believe the family farm is 'a desirable feature of Canadian agriculture, and any sound farm policy should be de- signed to ensure its continued ex- istence. The members thought that some changes may eventually be necessary in the family farm plan if it is to survive, viz.: the co- operative use of machinery, and farm units to become larger. During the recreation period, games of "500" were played, and lunch was served. New Selfpolishing STRIDE WAX Spill on it! Splash on it! Protects like Paste Wax! FOR ALL FLOORS.
