He stated that lie considered the service given by the company to be of a high standard but felt that the Bell Company hag not done their share to aid subs ribers in this de- pression period. However, he said, there were two sides to every story, and :that Mr„.7. J. W. McIntosh; Dist. Mgr. of the Bell Telephone Co., of Stratford, was present, and asked the assembly to give Mr. McIntosh a pa- tient hearing. Mr. McIntosh, iii his address, ex- plained that the rates charged by the Bell Telephone Cm mpany were set by the Dominion .p.ail way Board as passed away in Clinton on Monday a protection to thi subscribers. Two morning, in the person of Hector firms of accountants had gone thru McLean. The funeral service was the cost of Bell Telephone operat- held from R. A.

Pearen On Sunday morning last, at Vic- toria Hospital, London, there passed to rest, Henry 1, Pearen, who was born near Brampton, Ont., but in his early teens moved with • his parents to East Wawanosh Twp, and for the greater part of his life lived in Wingliain and vicinity.' Deceased had enjoyed an active life and compara- tively good health until five weeks ago, when hes was stricken with par- alysis which with subsequent co'?rt l.i- cations caused his death last Sunday. There lives to mourn his death, two daughters, Elva and Lylah, of. Wingham, his wife, the late Char- lotte i3engough, having • predeceased him some years ago; also his broth- er, Matthew, of Medora, Manitoba, Esaias of Pasadena, Calif., Lawrence of Toronto; and his sister, Mrs, Jas. Hunt of Toronto, Relatives from a distance who attended the ft -mesal services conducted by Rete. Sidney Davison at the United Church here, on Tuesday afternoon, were,, Mr L tion before these rates had been put in force that are Considered fair to the users as well as to the company. Mr. McIntosh stated that Ontario and Quebec are enjoying lower rates thanthat of other ;provinces. He spoke of the hazardous nature of the telephone business and as -an example he quoted• the terrific dam- age done by the sleet storms of last winter and explained that extra re- serve of money was always .neces- sary to meet these reverses in order that good service may be maintain- ed. Mr. Mclnotsli also stated that dur- ing the times when prices of the goods were at their peak that the cost of telephone service had not been advanced and therefore thought that no reduction should be expect- ed at this time. Mr. McIntosh also pointed .out that the telephone is a convenience -that in present day soc- iety is really a necessity, being ready at al ltintes to serve in case of sick- ness, fire call, in fact, for all emer- gencies or quick dispatch of mess- ages, The chairman then introduced lfi' Robt. Coultes, an ex -Reeve of East Wawanosh, Mr. Coultes stated that United Church W. M. S. the desire for phone service • had been built up by the North Huron Telephone Company and he felt sat- isfied the present Subscribers would not have taken on the phone at the present prices as they had at $10.00 per year front the North Huron Co. He wondered why the Sell Tele- phone with all their expert men could not git'e service at less cost when companies such as at \ Brox eter and Blyth were able to do so. He said that the people are not giv- ing up their phones on account of desire to do without theta, but be- cause of the cost. The high cost of service was antagonizing the people and driving the people to look to public ownerehip for relief, People Inust have contented minds to ward off Communism and the following of boost other fanatic ideas. Duplication of lines for ecenotny's sake are prohib- ited and this looks like monopoly, because even if all subscribers on a lute ceased to use this service, no other phone company would be al- lowed to enlist these users. Robt. J, Scott, President of the United Farmers of Ontario, was the next speaker. He also stated that there was no fault to find with the service given the employee or the company, but he could not feel the same toward the board of directors, He took exception to the fact that during different years the Bell Com- pany had sold stock to their share- holders at much less than market value, and that this practice created a greater number of shares of stock on which to pay dividends than was necessary, The Western Provinces rebelled mid are operating their own systems.
