The Blyth Standard, 1967-01-25, Page 1THE BL YTN STANDAR X2,50 A Year In Advance -- $3,50 In U.S.A. I3LYTH, ONTARIO — WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1967 Important Meeting Next Wednesday, February 1st TELEPHONE MANAGER OUTLINES PROPOSED MERGER OF AREA COMMUNI(ATIONS SYSTEMS (hy Donald Young, 'Manager of the illyth Municipal Telephone System) Recognizing that the informa- tion contained in the brochure that has been mailed to telephone subscribers withhr the last few days, concerning the proposed amalgamation of the Blyth Tele- phone System, the Brussels, Mor- ris and Grey Telephone System and the McKillop Telephone Sys, tem, is confined mainly to the financial aspects of the proposal, [ would like to take this oppor- tunity to outline a few of the other aspeots of the proposal, and perhaps give a little clearer pic- ture of what it's all about, Firstly, while a considerable number of Independent Telephone Systems have gone out of busi- ness during the last few years, for various reasons, it might be pointed out that there are remain- ing in Ontario some 125 Inde- pendent Systems which oper- r,te, as of January 1966, some 86,000 telephones. The 243 ex- changes operated by these Inde. pendants serve almost two thirds of the geographical area of the province, and of their total tele. phones, 72 per cent or approx- imately 143,000 are modern dial installations, Most of these sys- tems justify their existence by providing telephone services in i ural communities at slightly lower rates than what their cus- tomers might otherwise have to pay. All three of the systems in- volved in the present proposal were established about the same time, around 1909 or 1910, and all basically for' the same pur- pose: to provide communication service in rural areas where none had previously existed. All three have taken great strides in recent years to modernize and improve their plant and equipment, in keeping with modern trends in the telephone industry and in c:der to meet the increased com- munications requirements of their customers. All three are cur- rently meeting these needs to the best of their ability, and it is estimated that the three sys• tents collectively are providing their subscribers with an annual Faving of five to six thousand dollars, It has become more and more apparent in recent years, not only locally but throughout the telephone industry in general, that in order to take full ad. vantage of the economies in mod. ern methods of plant construe• tion, customer billing etc., and to maintain present rates in the f4ce of rising costs, a larger op- eration would be very desirable. Therefore, at the annual meet• ings of the three local systems last March, each group of com- missioners asked for and receiv- ed authorization from their re- spective subscribers to investigate the possibility of amalgamation and line up a definite proposal, During the past year several joint meetings have been held, legal and financial advice has been obtained, and the assets of the three systems have been evaluated, Investigation was made as to the possibility of amalgamating a;. a Municipal System, and also as a Co-operative, but both these methods were proved to be un- workable. However the three groups of commissioners have now arrived at a proposal which they feel Is in the best interests of the sub- scribers of all three systems, and they now must have the approval of each group of subscribers be- fore proceeding any further. Thus the general meetings of subscribers have been arranged as follows: Blyth, February 1, 1967 at 2:00 p.in.; Brussels, Feb- ruary 1, 1967 at 8:00 pm.; and McKillop, February 2, 1967 at 2:00 pm, Although the word "sale" ap- pears in the proposal as outlined in the brochure, it Is used purely as a technical term, and it is not the intention of any of the parties concerned that any of the sys- tems are being offered for sale to anyone other than themselves. However, in order to equalize the present subscribers' equities in the three systems, it has been found that it would be necessary to change the corporate structure of the systems to that of a public limited company, Basically what this means is that each subscriber would be issued with a number of shares in the new company, equivalent in value to his sharo in the particular system to which he was a subscriber. This would :Iso have the effect of removing any lien from the subscribers property in respect to any deben- tures of the system past, present or future, It would also mean that any future profits could be returned to the users as dividends cn their shares. However ;it is not the intention to increase ates simply to provide extra pro- fits, It would not make sense to charge the subscriber an extra dollar with one ha) just to be able to return itwith the other, The new company, when form- ed, would dedicate itself prim- arily to the operation of a good, modern telephone system for all the users in the arca, and would be fully capable of meeting any future communications needs of the area promptly and' efficiently, e/hether they be wider local call- ing areas (already being planned), mobile telephone service, tele- type service, or educational tele- vision services for our schools. As this proposal has a very im- portant bearing on the future welfare of the systems, all sub- scribers are urged to attend the meeting or it' unable to attend, to sign and return their proxy to their telephone business office. Reeve Cook Would Welcome OPS Assistance Reeve Borden Cook told The Standard Tuesday morning that lie would welcome any assistance made available to the village by the Ontario Provincial Police, Although no official word has been received as yet from the provincial government, it has been indicated that the services of arca OPP constables will be made available free of charge to area communities now operating a one- man police force. Reeve Cook said he didn't think the offer, at this time anyway, would involve full time policing of B1'y>Ith and he feels the services of our own Police Chief, Jim Warwick, will still be needed, He did say however, that the adds• tional help would be welcomed ai:d would help to alleviate many of the over -time hours of the local constable, particularly dur- ing the night time hours, Corporal Coskill, of the Wing - ham Detachment of the Provincial Police, told The Standard that his department has had no of- ficial word about extended cov- erage of the one-man police force communities. He did say that free coverage is now and has always been offered to such com- munities and said it would be doubltful, at this time, if further assistance would be made avail- able. That is unless more men are assigned to the Wingham De- tachment, And with the scarcity of new recruits in the province, he could not see this happening in the forseeable future. Arena Could Be closed The Blyth Recreational Com- mittee met Monday evening in the Library with Dr, R. W. Street in charge. All members of the committee were in attendance. A favorable report was given regarding the photography class being conducted at ' the school, Considerable interest has been shown by local and district resi- dents and the classes are pro. gressing favorably. Of great concern to all mem• hers of the committee was the poor year so far recorded at the Blyth arena, Weather conditions Have been anything but favorable and activities have been curtailed tremendously. Expenses have far outnumbered receivable moneys this year and this alone is cause for great con- cern, Practically -all members re- ported numerous queries from residents, and it was the unary: - mous decision to close the arena if ice could, not be made available with some soul of regularity with- in n two week period. BINGO JACKPOT RAISED TO $95,00 THIS WEEK The second in the current ser- ies of weekly Lions Club bingos was held last Saturday evening the Memorial Hall. Although the crowd was not quite as large as the Lions would like to see, it was still considered a very worthwhile evening. The jackpot again eluded the players in the alluded 60 calls; :,!though the big game was won in 61 calls. The total prize for the one game this Saturday night now reaches $95.00 and should entice 0 very good attendance, If you're planning to attend. be there early --- you just might win the big money, MR.

Apparently since that time the problem has not become any less, but has, in fact, worsen- ed. On Monday morning nine digs were reported to be seen a:'.und the school grounds at one time — a little more than the average grownup would care to cope with at one time, let alone a young Give year-old who is ven- turing to school on his own for the first time this year, Many parents of small cihildren have arproached Jim with the wish of having something clone to keep the animals away from the school. If a definite improvement is not seen in the immediate future, Jim tells us there is no other course than to pass a by=law to the effect that all dogs within the village must be kept tied at all times— in other words, the year round, If this by-law is enforced, any dogs found wandering untethered within the village limits would be caught. and destroyed. So you see folks, y'ou will not only be doing our school children a favour by keeping your pets away from the school grounds, but if the by=law does come into ef- feet, you will also be doing your clog a great favour also. In any event, it looks from here as if something must be done to lessen the problem, Thugs Receive Little Reward A group of thieves were at work in B1y11h during the early morning hours this Wednesday,, Three places of business were broken into: Doherty Bros, Gar- age, Blyth U.D.P.C., and George Hubbard's Turnip Plant. Entry was first matte at the Dchcnty garage where the thugs made off with candy bars, cigars a cutting torch and tanks. They travelled from there to the Co-op where the cutting torch was used in a vain attempt to open the company safe. Iraving been disappointed \v4tth this futile at- tempt, the thieves then left the toorclh and tanks and ventured ov- er to the turnip' plant where a total of $21.00 was taken from a pop machine. The garage and- co-op suffered no more damage than broken windows. '11he turnip plant did not escape so luckily, however, as two doors were severely smash- ed by the robbers as a means of gaining entrance to the building. Blit;{h Police Chief Jim War- wick, along with officers of the Ontario Provincial Police Force are investigating. Finger print experts were on, tire job Wednes- day morning, PAGE TWO THE BLYTH STANDAR WEDNESDAY, •JiANUARY ,SS, 4961 BACKLOG OF NOTES I'd like to tidy up a lot of loose ends this week, if you don't mind. First of all, thanks for the warm and personal notes about the column, and the good wishes to the Smileys, They came from all over the continent. Many of you will be getting your Christmas cards at Easter, or possibly in July, My wife lost her list of addresses. * 1Ve had a refreshingly different New Year's Eve this year, Went to a skating party on the bay. We even took skates, But, fortunately, we had to make a couple of calls before we got there, and when we did, the skaters were pooped. I expressed great indignatio;l before allowing someone to set me down before the fireplace with a small potion of herb tea. But it was a great party. Just as we arrived, a pretty young woman hustled in from outside, clutching her pants and various other things. She'd been out on a Skidoo on the ice and they'd gone through. She was quite annoyed, Last time I'd seen her, she was eight months pregnant. This time she was almost in shock. She said she'd like to gleet me under normal circumstances. A►,other feature of the party appealed to me. Instead of the usual maudlin rendation of Auld Lang Syne, followed by a round of sloppy kisses, we all stood to attention and sang a maudlin version of 0 Canada. Speaking of centennial year, some readers may have notic- ed a rather cardonic attitude toward this great national occasion, in my last couple of columns. Please excuse it, I don't really feel that way. It's' a sort of back -lash. For years, I've been trying to tell people how great Canada is and could be. * Kim had her first teenage party invited 13 and 27 showed up, That's the days. She was adamant about her parents We did, with hidden horror, But when it came time for the food, she came to us, hissing furiously, "Aren't you even going to cook the hamburgers?" And we spent the next two hours feeling much like a couple of short. order cooks brought in for the evening to do the cartering, The music was turned up so loud I was sure the cops would raid us. Kids kept wandering into the kitchen and demanding flatly: "Got, any cold pop?" But it was over finally. We checked the living -room. Not a burn on the piano. Only one hamburg, with all the trimmings, upset on the rug. So we're going to let her have another party, Twenty-two years from now, for her daughter, over the holidays. She way they operate nova- staying out of the way. * Son Hugh brought us a special Christmas present this year. The announcement that he is quitting school. Oh, well, you can't win them all. But it doesn't make the .goose go clown any better, even though you assure him that he's cooked his own and has to lie in it, or whatever the saying is. Nephew Paul of Laval U. appeared out of nowhere, as college boys do, Father wants him to be a doctor, He wants to be a beachcomber. And he's lost his boots and his feet were soaking. That kid has lost his shoes or boots, over 18 years, in South America, the West Indies, Holland, and Cape Breton Island, But he never loses his good spirits, bless him, * Gordon Sinclair, columnist and TV personality, and I have little in com►non. He's rich, I'm not., He's shrewd and crude, pugnacious and pontificial, astute and asinine. I was about to say I'm not, but on second thought won't. But we are as one on the need for ca holiday in February. Did you see him tackle the Prime Minister on that recently? I've been shouting this theme for years, It's the greatest centennial gift Mr, Pearson could give this nation. 13y mid-February, everyone in this country is so frayed and flogged that it's amazing there aren't suicides and axe -murders galore, I don't care what they call it, But let's have the nearest. Monday to Valentine's Day as a national holiday. l'IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!III111111!!I!ii!IIII!Ill!hill!IDIIII!I!Ilillllll!IIIIIIIIIIIIIGIII!!Illlili!I!IIII!Illliilllll!IIIIDIIIII!IIII!II(�iil!IIID':Illillillllll�Il!III!IDI!!ID::!III!!I!illlill!!'!IiIIIIi!i!Ii!Illi!I!i911!

Dear old-timers of the house of Cook,— Whether you be the offspring of Dave or John Cook, • • I, as an old school mate, both of day and Sunday School, send you my sor- row on reading in the Blyth Standard of January 11, which carne yesterday, of the passing of Alf Cook, 'Phis was the first Christmas since our moving up here into Vermont that our First Christmas card of the season was NOT from Alf. 'Phe last time I saw him was several years ago when he was living at Edna's place (`Phe old Billy Stackhouse farm) and was taking immense pride in .the care of the pigs. And this interest IN NO WAY WHATSOEVER interfered with the steady round of his music lessons, 1 have no single mem- ors. of ANY finger of scorn or ac- cusation EVER BEING LEVEL- LED against Alf! and that is a record that few people cnn claim. You see Alf Shared my most im- pressionable years \\then I lost my mother in Godericih in 1907. My aunt, Mrs, A'Iorrish, took me in to live with her as long as I needed a home and Alf vas also a room- er and boarder there at the same time. I shared his work in North Street Methodist Church in choir and young peoples meetings, And then as the years passed and I moved far from Westfield, Alf never got beyond reach of the blessed old community, For me, I•IOME always included ALF, and now he has gone on to a future where I can and do shout, "Where is Death's. Sling, - Wihere Grave thy Victory?" He did a Chore in which we all can and do take pride. Now Walter, a little note to you and Charlotte, I did get your card with the picture of your new church. It is so long since 1 have driven around the streets of Blyth that. 1 can't remember the town layout heyrond the long street that runs almost from Maitland lien• ry's clear north ,toward. \I'ingham past Andrew Sloan's old orchard. I knew the old church on the East side of that same street Sam Gid- ley's old store and COEel1ew's Un- dertaking place is on (Funeral Parlors they call them now•a- days). - I preached in that old church once in the far -offs days. I once planned to be a minister. The last church I was in in Blyth was .the day my aunt, Maitland's mother, was buried. To you Leonard and Harry and Edna, and Fred, 1 Frust confess ', downat Alr s not 1 cast thatam passing. Ile led a marvelous use- ful life over a long well of years and now he :is hearing the notes of music that perhaps are a kind of "Lost Chord" to him. And if he hears it I'll venture a guess that he is playing it as well, His influence on the throngs of folk he touched is a blessed heritage in days when many of us cry for Peace! when there is so much "UN -PEACE." We are all honor- ed to have been his fellow -travel- ler. 'Bye now to all you that bear the name of Cook. Altho I ad- dress this to Leonard, it is for ALL of you who sprang from those rugged old pioneers that made homes along the lands and streams of old East Wawanosh, Affectionately, Gordon E. Wightman, who in the old days was Big David or Goliath to many OF YOU! P.S. You always had the right words at the right time, Fred, for most everything, • • Remember? And did I ever envy you that ability! ! ! c;UNGE.kT1TL.- i'EONS Congratulations to Murray Mc- Nall who celebrates his birthday on Thursday, January 26, Congratulations to Mrs. Harold Livingstone who celebrates her binthday on Friday, January 27.

This is written on Tuesday morning and weather forecasts ,-.re predicting the mild spell to last at least another couple of clays and maybe until the end of of the week. Snow banks have dwindled to a mere fraction of what they were last week and many fields ere fast becoming bare. Activities at the Blyth Arena • have been brought to a sudden standstill, and if the predictions for mild weather until the end of the week hold true, ice will be a very scarce item at the local ice palace. it's beginning to look as if Rooney's ground hog could turn cut to be a pretty good weather prognasticator after all.
