Dueharme from Goderich on Saturday evening last were Mr. and Mrs. Emery Bedard and son, •also Mr. Oscar Dueharme who is in residence with the Bedard family of that town. Mr, Blaise Ducharme and Mr. Russ Boudy, of Windsor, a con- tracting team for all kinds of work around the home, over the week -end completed a painting job on the new home of Mr.. and Mrs. Avila Durcharme an the Blue Water south.

Over the week -end several cars motored on laneways going to the lake front, perhaps to see if all was in order around their cottages or perhaps to do a little cleaning, making things ready for an early spring visit. February, the month of cold stuff in the air, has passed on. We have all the best to say about it, as the weather was even better than seasonable. In a way we regret its passing if for no other reason for the beautiful days throughout its breadth and length. (From Last Week) After they had everything in readiness to leave their Quebec. homes to immigrant into a wilderness on the shores of World Day of Prayer Held Friday In Hensall Church As has been customary in re- cent years the first Friday of Lent is set aside as World Day of Prayer.

Finis'hing Touches Workmen are busy these days at the new school in Zurich trying to complete the many Iittle jobs necessary in the last minute of any big job. Here a member of the paint- ing firm is shown administering the finishing touches to some of the cupboard doors in the kindergarten classroom. Lake Huron unknown to all of them. Friends and families gathered together for a last talk concerning their voyage and for families perhaps the last get-together. They did not have the means to pay for the long trip back and forward. For some it NOTI.E To Customers of HAY MUNICIPAL TELEPHONE SYSTEM The Subscribers of the Township of Hay Municipal Telephone System are aware of the successful conversion of the Grand Bend and Zurich exchanges to dial operation and the subsequent improvement of service at both those exchanges. Continuing on the System's Improvement Pro- gram, subscriber approval was received at the 1965 Annual Meeting to convert Dashwood exchange to dial operation. The cost of this project required the issue of debentures, for capital, which it is intended to repay over a 20 -year period. In order to comply with requirements it is nec- essary to establish and have approved rates, which will become effective at date of Conversion of Dashwood ex- change to dial operation, which is anticipated to be late 1966. The rates below will become effective only at cut- over date and include extended Area Service to Exeter exchange. This means that after conversion there will be no toll charge to Exeter nor will Exeter residents pay a toll charge on their calls to Dashwood. This same free service will continue to exist to and from Grand Bend and Zurich exchange with no limit on the number of such free calls. The rates below for which we apply are for the Dashwood exchange only and free service to Exeter is to and from the Dashwood exchange only. Application has been made to the Ontario Telephone Service Commission for authority to make the followinh charges for the telephone service in the Dashwood Ex- change area as at conversion of this exchange to dial operation. EXCHANGE RATES Individual line Business Residence Two -Party line Business Residence Subscriber Renter $6.55 $7.05 per month 3.40 3.90 per month •5.15 5.65 per month 2.55 3.05 per month Multi -Party line Business 3.75 (10 or less) Residence 2.45 4.25 per month 2.95 per month The above rates for individual and two-party line service will apply only within the Base Rate Area, which is defined as being within the limits of the Police Village of Dashwood. If individual or two-party line service is required beyond the above limits there will be an additional charge for extra mileage of forty-five cents a month for each 7/4 mile or fraction thereof for an individual line and twenty- five cents a month for each IA mile or fraction thereof for each party on a two-party line. New subscribers will be required to pay subscriber's rates plus $1.50 per month for 10 years, at which time they will become paid up subscribers. Rates for supplementary service such as extension telephones and bells, connection and moving telephones, etc., remain unchanged. This application will be heard before the Commis- sion at its next regular meeting in Toronto. Any repre- sentations to be made to the Commission with respect to this application should, therefore, be submitted on or before March 18th, 1966, and addressed to the Chairman, Ontario Telephone Service Commission, 1901 Yonge Street, Toronto 7, Ontario. If you desire any further information in reference to the need for increasing the telephones rates, you may apply to the undersigned either personally, by telephone, or by letter. W. C. HORNER, Secretary -Treasurer, Hay Municipal Telephone System Dated March 3rd, 1966, meant cashing their life's say ings, if any. The older people did not dare leave the land of birth and perhaps took the right course by staying in their native land. They left in large groups but only a few families stayed together and landed in different parts along the shores of Lake Huron. There were French settle- ments along the lake as far north as Go d e r i c h. Years passed on and some never met after they left Quebec. Those Quebec immigrants were of French decent and few could talk or understand English. Honor Bride Prior To Her Marriage A miscellaneous shower was held Wednesday evening in Kippen United Church in honor of Miss Jean Turner, whose wedding takes place next Sat- urday. Guests included the ladies of the congregation and of School Section No. 7, Stan- ley, and of the Varna com- munity.

That was difficult for them to do their shopping at that time, Zurich, at that time, was known by some as Brown and its residents were of German decent, making it hard for both parties to buy and sell. It was by gestures or touching the wanted article that they made themselves understood. I might say that either the German or the French never learned the English, perhaps the lacking of education was the main reason.

Two curbside doors may be specified, and then there are a number of extra window combinations available. Handi-Van can turn in a 35.5 foot circle. Lets you scoot out of packed traffic and deliver your goods where and when you promised Look at all the space. Handi-Van measures 211 cu. ft. inside. That will hold up to a ton of payload. Loadspace length from engine housing back is over 92 inches. The engine is a 120 - hp engineering gem. And if you want more muscle, you can specify a 140 - hp workhorse. Powerglide is avail- ble too. The metal floor is built to shrug off abuse from 'most any kind of load. In fact, it's a heavy duty floor at no extra cost. Handi-Van's body and frame are uni- tized. And the heavy -gauge steel has extra resistance to corrosion, giving you longer service.. Wow You can see how great Handi-Van is from the back. But the most important thing is on the front. It's that GMC nameplate that makes the difference. Not the plate itself of course, but what it represents. GMC has a reputation for Engineering Leadership. For instance: realizing most Handi- Vans would he city -operated and subject to road moisture and salt, GMC engineers started at the bottom. Sheet metal in exposed areas is first galvanized, then covered with aluminum paint, phosphated ... then, after all that, undercoated! No wonder Handi- Van stands up so well under the worst a Canadian winter has to offer. And no wonder GMC has earned that reputation for leader- ship. When you're thinking vans think Handi-Van by GMC.. ,, T1IU(KS ENGINEERING LEADERSHIP A GENERAL Atone VALUE ONFAIANIMM*S. sari to Watch "Telescope," "The Fugitive ' aad "The Red Skelton How" now showing on television.
