.Murray ' Gaunt Speaks For
Extended Phoning Murray a.
Gaunt. M.P.P. for Huron -Bruce,
recently offered his assistance to the
St. Helens Women's Institute in an
effort to . have phoningareas
extended so thatiiose living in this
community would not have such a
limited free -toll area.
Mr. Gaunt has been in touch with
telephone authorities and has
reported back to the St. Helens
group that plans me presently being
formulated by phone officials to establish more extended calling in
this area with a very slight increase
in rates.
This plan was already in progress
and Mr. Gaunt has em to
those in charge the fee " g of the
community in regard to the very
limited area that can make toll free
calls. He explained to them that
whole communities are now divided'
by the Ripley, ' Lucknow and
Wingham phone exchan8es.

MP Wits:. Of Higher ., Meat
Prices - Bill ,aryls, MP ; Perth
warned last week that Canadians
will beforced to pay more for beef
because ' ,mess will beselling off
their livestock because of the high
interest rate charged to borrow
wotking tal.
Ja said in the House of
Commons last Wednesday that
farmers faced with 20 per cent
interest rates are selling off their
feed grains rather than borrow to
finance the purchase of cattle and
hogs to finish and fatten for the
Canadian market. As a result, said ,
Jarvis, Cannadians,will be forced to
pay more for offshore beef as this
situation will create a shortage of
Canadian produced beef and pork.
