Zurich Telephone Numbers to Stay
In Lo don's 'Phone Directory
Telephone directory listings for
persons in Zurich and several
other exchanges in this area will
continue to appear in the London
book, W. W. Haysom, Bell Tele-
phone manager for this territory
announced this week.
He said that the plan to remove
the listings from the London book,
placing them only in the Strat-
ford-Goderich book, which was an-
nounced a few months ago, would
not now be carried out.

with the plan was made after
telephone users in this area had
expressed opposition to it.
"The proposal was a good one
from the economic point of view,"
Mr. Haysom said, "but we strive
to give our customers the type
of service they want, and the
majority wanted the directory ar-
rangements left unchanged so we
will go along with their wishes."
The proposed change would
have affected telephone users in
the Bell's Centralia, Exeter, Cred-
iton and Hensall exchanges; the
Tuckersmith Municipal System's
Hensall exchange customers, and
the Hay Municipal System's Gr-
and Bend and Dashwood exchan-
ges, as well as the Zurich ex-
change.
The next issue of the London
directory, to be distributed in
June, will also carry classified
(yellow) page listings for the Ex-
eter, Hensall, Centralia and Cred-
iton exchanges for the first time.
London classified listings will not,
however, be distributed in these
exchanges.

... Be a follower of Christ
Do you feel you are too great a sinner?
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord:

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately
wicked: who can know it? —Jer. 17: 9.
Do you think salvation is not for everyone?
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the
name of the Lord shall be saved. —Acts 2: 21.
