The Wingham Advance-Times, 1967-02-16, Page 3BELL LINES r. by K. R. Witherden your telephone manager II Wender chow many of . .1011 have ever noticed. a small box,-usually black plastictucked up on a basement beam in your home. It is placed quite close to the point where our telefilione 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 tele- plhone user from stray electrical currents over 309 volts and from lighthing surges. The protector serves much the same purpose as the more Jamiliar electrical fuse except that instead 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 procelain. Many, too, were placed in the days when cellars were cellars and not beautiful recreation rooms, family rooms or finished workshops; When panel- ling or attractive tile did not conceal bare ceiling beams. Many people today are converting basement space into wonderfully liveable rooms. If this should he in your home improvement 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 you are installing a ceiling, perhaps you could leave the small area unhoxed or place a re- movable panel to give easy access to the black box. It would also he to your advantage to provide access to the ground wire connection Which usually rams from the pro- tector to a nearby water pipe. Chances are our Installers or Repairmen 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 dr vil? 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 special codes direct you to the area you are calling. Whether you are able to dial the calls yourself or whether a Long Distance Operator, must place them for you, using or giving her the Area Code speeds your call. Codes for many locations are listed in the front of your telephone directory. . rrt,-)nt ‘) OVER FIFTY LOCAL law enforcement of- ficials visited Canadian ForcesBase Clinton recently.

HAMILTON OPTOMETRIST Josephine Street WINGHAM FOR APPOINTMENT Phone 357-1361 This week the Throne De- bate continued to the almost total exclusion of all other busi- ness. James Trotter (L Parkdale) accused Beltone of Toronto, a firm selling hearing aids of us- ing unethical sales practices. Among the cases he cited of persons who had bought hearing aids from the firm are: An old age pensioner who paid $35 down for a hearing aid sie Rasmussen; vice, Lorna Fer- guson; secretary, rotating; press, Terry Bridge. Mrs. Russell Ruttan led the discussion On "'Foods in Early Canada" an'd note's were taken. Ruth Ann Taylor made blueber- ry buclde and Mrs. Ron Mc- Clement and Judy King made Arthur Wishart, will announce a policy soon on the proposal of the Canadian Bar Association that a person's criminal record be expunged or wiped out after a period of time. A bill, introduced by the On- tario Government this week will set up the Deposit Insurance Corporation which will be giv- en the power to seize control of any Ontario incorporated loan and trust corporation that is not in a satisfactory financial con- dition. The bill will also insure de- posits of up to $20, 000 in all loan and trust corporations in- corporated under provincial law, The bill closely parallels fed- eral deposit insurance legisla- tion which has been given ap- proval in principle by the House of Commons. The Ontario bill will be moved quickly through the Legislature to bolster the confidence of Ontario investors in the safety of their deposits. Financial and Commercial Affairs Minister Leslie Rown- tree, in introducing the bill, said the Ontario companies will be required to take out the fed- eral insurance once it becomes available. The Ontario Act is being passed because it can go into effect more quickly than the federal law. It does not cover finance companies such as Atlantic Ac- ceptance Corporation or Pru- dential Finance Cor. Ltd. which have collapsed during the past two years. However, legisla- tion will be introduced to deal with them.
