He proved to be more than a dreamer, though; he was a practical thinker and a man of action as well. In Boston, he was a teacher of the deaf by day and an experimenter with the electrical transmission of sound by night. The result of his vision, experimentation and hard work was the telephone. Historical accounts claim that, even in the initial stages of the telephone. its founder - Alexander Graham Bell - knew one day it would be invaluable to the world. The first telephone communication was made from one room to another in a building in Boston in 1886. The first long distance call Odd 'n ends How we like to talk also took place in 1876 on telegraph wires running from Paris to Brantford - a distance of eight miles. Now we can call countries around the world, ships on the open sea and vehicles on the open road. With direct distance dialing, we can save time and money; with the help of the operator, we can call collect. charge the call to our credit card or bill a third number. The telephone has become integral in the business world. Some large businesses and organizations use toll-free numbers that Tong -distance customers can call. The conference call allows several ' people in different places to talk to each other at the same time. If you believe the ads. even a barber shop quartet can rehearse via the conference call.) Design and components are constantly improving. Callers can turn a dial or push buttons. We can choose phones in colours and styles that suit the decor of our room or our own per- sonalities.

One of the reasons Alexander Graham Bell was able to conceive the idea of the telephone was his desire to help the deaf. This tradition has continued with the establishment of aids and services that make the telephone available to people with hearing, speech, sight and motion disabilities. The four items most frequently in demand are supplied without a rental fee, while the others include a monthly charge. Both Canada and the United States lay claim to the discovery of the telephone, but no one disputes the legacy that Professor Bell left to the world. In April. 1980. Bell Canada will mark its 100th an- niversary. One thing has been ascertained over the years: Canadians love to talk. In fact, Canada is one of the most talkative countries in the world - at least, on the telephone. Even though I know the telephone was invented by a man, I've fallen into the habit of referring to the system affectionately, and sometimes not so af- fectionately, as Ma Bell. Most people seem to share the same habit. My thoughts were less than affectionate recently when I opened a bill that totalled almost *900. I flew to the phone and explained to a courteous lady that I had been charged for a business phone with a number only one digit different from mine. The mistake was soon remedied. What a difference a digit makes! Ma Bell caused a bit of controversy a few weeks ago, when she suggested dropping the monthly rates and charging for each call - local or long distance. The rational was possibly to make people who use the phone most pay for it. Not only big business would be hurt by such a move but also shut ins. who depend on the phone to make a living or just to contact the outside world. Knowing they had to pay for each call would, I think, place an extra burden on them. At time of writing, I haven't heard a decision or further details, but passage of such an idea might un- dermine the very purpose for which the telephone was invented. i GRADUATES — Mrs. Rosemary Bowers, Crediton, graduated recently from the Regional Centre of Nursing Assistants, London.
