More than 600 spectators were on hand to watch this year's show entitled "Coleurama" and it certainly lived up to it's name. Blending in with the title of the complete show, most of the numbers had at least one colour in their title. Some of the pre- sentations were lavender lace, red roses for a blue lady, pink confetti, cherry pink and apple blossom white and black and white ballet. president Mrs. Harold Holtz- man, pleased with the large at- tendance despite the zero weath- er outside, said "the costumes were the nicest and most color- ful we have ever been able to come up with." Featured soloist on the pro- gram was Ronnie Shaver of Galt, who skates out of the Hamilton- Stoney Creek figure skating club. The 15 year-old Shaver is Western Ontario's men's cham- pion and his demonstrations at the local carnival quickly proved to the large crowd why he wears the crown. In keeping with the centennial theme, the final number on the program was a "salute to the future" with twelve young ladies dressed In red and white. secretary, Mary Anne Geilen; telephone girl, Julie Schenk; trea- surer, Gwen Finkbeiner, Pianist for the 4-H girls is Nancy Scott and press reporter, Diane Hodge.

VICTORIA and GREY TRUST 125 Main 8t, 235-0530 Exeter 5 , • , *' '• *tn WILSON S JEWELLERY I wonder how many of you have ever noticed a small box—usually black plastic—tucked up on a basement beam in your home. It is placed quite close to the point where our telephone wire comes into your home. We call this small box an inside station protector and we use it as a safety device where the inside wire and the outside wire are joined. It protects both our equipment and the telephone user from stray electrical currents over 300 volts and from lightning surges. The protector serves much the same pur- pose as the more familiar electrical fuse except that in- stead of opening a line, as a fuse does, the protector grounds it. If this should happen — and it very seldom does — your phone immediately is put out of order. So seldom do we have to change or repair these station pro- tectors, in fact, that I discovered recently that many homes still have those installed with their first telephone many years ago. These are from the pre-plastic era and are of white porcelain. Many, too, were placed in the days when cellars were cellars and not beautiful recreation rooms, family rooms or finished workshops; when panelling or attractive tile did not conceal bare ceiling beams. Many people today are converting basement space into wonder. fully liveable rooms. If this should be in your home im- provement plans would you please locate this protector? Under no circumstance should any of the wires leading from the protector be disconnected. They are vital to your service. Then, if your are installing a ceiling, perhaps you could leave the small area unboxed or place a removable panel to give easy access to the black box. It would also be to your advantage to provide access to the ground wire connection which usually runs from the protector to a nearby water pipe. Chances are our Installers or Repair- men will seldom have to gain access to these connections. However, if that need should arise, it would take longer to restore your service and perhaps mar a beautiful ceiling if the protector or ground connections have been hidden by the panelling or ceiling tiles. • I wonder how many of you remember hack to the days when the telephone was still looked upon either as a toy or the invention of the devil? From our historical file comes this tale from 1911 — only 56 years ago. "Recently on entering the house of a subscriber an instrument setter noticed the telephone decorated with small bags attached to the transmitter and receiver. It was learned that the bags contained camphor and had been placed there to ward off scarlet fever, as another party on the line was quarantined on account of this disease." To help speed your long distance calls along, Canada and the United States have been divided into calling areas. Each calling area has its own Three-number Area Code. When you call OUTSIDE your own calling area, these spe-' Cial Codes direct you to the area you are calling. Whether you are able to dial the calls yourself or whether a Long Dittance Operator must place them for you, using or giv• ing her the Area Code speeds your call, Cedes for many locations are listed in the front of your telephone directory.
