Hall conveyed the vote of thanks to Lion Dalt, The meeting closed , with the usual song and the Lions Roar. PRESBYTERIAL MET. AT WHITECHURCH Mrs. A.

Let us earmark that day for some very special visits—call on some friend, or friends, whem you have not visited for some time, If you can't visit them, flowers are always in order; and a cheery letter or card helps far more than you might think. In any case, let those shut-in friends know they are not forgotten even if they do have to watch life from a hospital cot or a wheel-chair, If your shut-in friends can go out a bit—with your knid help—then see if they can go for a drive; that ;s rare treat for matiy. Or, if you can, take them to the morning church ser- vice—most of the churches are having something special for the sick folk on the first Sunday of June, Make Shut-in's Day a very happy day for two friends, amid it will be one of the happiest days in your experi- ence, but you will help to fulfil the real purpose of Shut-in's Day—to make life happier for the sick and the disabled, both veteran and civilian, every day of the year.

BELL HAS PROGRAM FOR EXPANSION' In'Victoria Hospital Bill Kress, son of Capt. and Mrs. Kress is a patient in Victoria Hospital, London, suffering from lead infection. Attending Dental Convention Drs. G. H. Ross, A. W. Irwin and G. W. Howson, were in Toronto this week attending the National Convent- ion of Canadian dentists. To provide facilities for 'fast-grow- ing long distance service, the Bell Tel- ephone Company will complete in 1946 a gross construction program of over $3,000,000 for this purpose, alone, ac- cording to W. G. Hamilton, company manager here. Part of the overall plan will result in expanded long distance facilities serving Wingham and new circuits or voice channels connecting this com- munity with London, Wroxeter and Fordwich are being added. During the past few years, while there has been a very substantial gain in the total number of telephones in service, the volume of long distance traffic has grown at an even more ab- normal rate. In 1938, the last year before the im- pact of war produced a rising level of activity throughout the country, aver- age daily long distance connections re- corded by the Bell Company totalled 57,000, In 1945, the daily average was 127,000 - well over double. Further- more, operations or the first few months of 1946 show that long dis- tance traffic is ruening about 17 per coat higher than the same period last year, Existing facilities have been taxed far beyond their intended capacity. During the war, manufacturers of tele- phone equipment devoted their out- put almost entirely to the needs of the armed services. The telephone tom- patty was obliged to postpone many of the expansion plans providing for only normal growth. This has made all the more burdensome the task of setting up sufficient facilities to cope ade- quately with the. present high volume of traffic.
