C of C .Irotests-
Phonejiecision
Seaforth Chamber of Como
merce has urged Bell Tele --
phone Co. to reconsider plans
to remove listings of Seaforth
customers from the directo
serving McKillop and 'Ribber
users and the listing of rest
:dents on the Dublin exchang
from the Seaforth directory.
At a meeting Tuesday ev
ning, the C of C directed'
resolution urging reconsidera
tion he sent to' the compen
and area municipalities. Sea4
forth . Clerk Lyle Hammon
said Mayor Angus MacLean ha.
called a special meeting o
council for. Friday morning to
consider the matter.
Changes in boundaries o
Bell districts, which the' con
pang has carried.' out, has, re:
stilted in a change in the direc-
tories that will serve partieu-
lar areas. The , new .boundary
extends north. and south 2i/a
east of Seaforth, and -cuts
through the Seaforth District
High School area and: 'the' Sea -
forth Are area..
In the past the area fro,ln
Goderich to Stratford and from,
Brussels to HensaIl has been
contained in the directory dis-
tributed in Seaforth.' In the.
directory which Bell proposes!
to issue for the Seaforth' area,'
Dublin area listings • will be
omitted. At the. same . time„
Seaforth will be omitted froin
the Dublin directory. •
In discussing the resolution,
C of C president George Mc-
Ilwain said if there wasn't an
interchange of listings, much
inconvenience would result. 'It
would be most unfair ' if sub-
scribers were denied access to
the listings of their neighbors,
others with whom they did
business, or with their place
of employment, he said.
The resolution follows:
"Since the Bell Telephone
Coinpany, being solely respons-
ibl for. provision of adequate
telephone service to the people,
of Seaforth, proposes to, alte
and thereby lessen the service
it provides its customers in Sea -
forth by deleting from the Sea -
forth directory the names of
subscribers of the McKillop,
Logan & Hib'bert. Telephone
Company, and likewise by de-
leting the names of Seaforth,
subscribers from the directory
servicing' the Dublin office, thus
denying ready exchange be=
jween the • tWo . groups;
"And since much of the area
served by the .McKillop, Logan,
& Hibbert Company is contain-
ed in the Seaforth 'fire area and
in•:the Seaforth District High
School Area, and is served by
the Seaforth Hospital, by Sea -
forth doctors and professional
people, and business firms;
"And since such a reduction
in service will disturb the ord-
inary social and business habits
of the district and create an
'unfair and discriminatory con-
dition '€dr • Bell customers • "in
Seaforth;
'And since similar situations
in the past have been resolved
by • indludibg the subscribers of
adjoining areas in each of the
directories serving such adjoin -
