last were Mr. and Mrs. Emery

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..

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.

World Day of
Prayer Held Friday

As has been customary in re-
cent years the first Friday of
Lent is set aside as World Day

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.

The above rates for individual and two-party line

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

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.
Miss Nancy Consitt was the
chairman for a short program,
which included community
singing, with Mrs. Ross Broad -
foot at the piano; a piano duet
by Diane and Darlene McKay;
musical numbers by Cheryl and
Kathy Peck and Ann Hayter,
accompanied by Donna Peck at
the piano; a reading by Myra
Lovell; a piano number by
Lynn Taylor, and •a duet by
Mrs. Pearl Love and Mrs. Har-
old Jones.
Jean was invited to take her
place in a decorated chair and
a humorous address was read
by Miss Marjorie Turner. Many
lovely gifts were presented to
the bride-to-be by Gayle Turn-
er, Dianne Consitt and Brenda
and Janice Turner.

Heating Experts At Work
Even the plumbers and heating people have last
minute tasks to complete before a new school is ready for
occupancy. Shown here are a couple of the heating crew
applying insulation to the hot water pipes, in preparation
for the painters.
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.

See those giant wide
doors? Handi-Van is easy
tO load and unload. 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.. ,,
