SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, APRIL 23, 1964
Phone Directory Must Represent Area
'Growing concern with directory
changes ,proposed by The Bell Tele-
phone Company is reflected in a reso-
lution adopted by the Seaforth Cham-
ber of Commerce this .week. The reso-
hition points out that the changes will
deny Seaforth listings to McKillop and
Hibbert subscribers of the McKillop,
Logan & Hibbert system, and also deny
Bell customers in Seaforth the listings
of subscribers in the neighboring town-
ships served by the Dublin exchange.
The resolution asks that Seaforth
listings be carried in the directory
which will serve the subscribers of the
.Dublin exchange, and also that the Mc-
• Killop, Logan & Hibbert subscribers be
listed in the Seaforth directory.
Certainly the request is reasonable.
The Bell people must realize that in
being given the privilege of serving
• particular areas there is inherent a re-
. sponsibility •to avoid disruption to the
recognized flow of social and business
activities, and that is what will, hap -
yen if the listings of subscribers
throughout the area are not available
to each other. The availability of list-
ings is particularly important at this
time when with the introduction of dial
later this year all numbers will be
changed.
As the resolution points out, 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 Seaforth doctors and professional
people and business firms.
The Bell Company by circular letters
and other publicity has not been hesi-
tant to point out the benefits it claims
will result from changes in the area
west of Seaforth. It is unfortunate
that at the same time the company did
not give the same emphasis to ,the re-
duction in service which it was effect-
ing east of Seaforth, so that the chang-
es could be properly evaluated.
As we have said before, and repeat
now, "one can sympathize with the Bell
people in their desire to create tidy ad-
ministrative set-ups. But this desire
for administrative efficiency must not
take precedence over Bell's responsi-
bility to provide Seaforth and the com-
munity, of which it is the centre, with
proper- service. Bell can do no less
than to initiate action to provide the
same connections and service with Sea -
forth neighbors to the east, as it has
done to the west.”
Accomplishments In Many Fields
The minority government of Prime
Minister Lester B. Pearson was one
year old on Wednesday.
• Despite Setbacks, despite disappoint-
ments and changes, there is a general
feeling that the Pearson government
has moved ahead. There have been firm
•,•accornplishments in many fields.
•
• Unemployment has been reduced to
• a more reasonable level ; trade" is ex-
panding; industrial -production is ris-
ing; the Columbia River development
is much closer than was the case
even a year ago. Canada's defence
• policy for the first time in many years
has been spelled out; social security
has been advanced after many weeks
• of sincere discusiions and with• the firm
support of the provinces. Canada haa,.
taken a more responsible role in for-
• eign affairs in the past twelve months
than • She did in the preceding six
years.
Indeed there were. firm grounds for
• satisfaction on the part of the Prime
Minister in the report he was able to
give the country Sunday evening. Ignor-
ing 'the temptation to gqoss over mis-
takes, Mr. Pearson provided a far more
honest and realistic review than usual-
ly is given on such occasions.
Mr. Pearson, has said the government
will–cantinue to govern as if it had a
majority. It is not catering to •the
partisan desires of the opposition
groups as a means of staying in office.
This is 'as the country would wish it.
• It is true the results Mr. Pearson
has put on the record are but a be-
ginning, but there can be general agree-
ment that they are a firm foundation
for achievements in future years.
I think I know what love is for. Love
is given us so that we can see a soul;
and that soul is the .highest conception
of 'excellence and truth we can bring
forth: this soul is our •reflected self.
And from seeing what one soul is, we
•can imagine what all souls may be—
' and thus we' reach God, who is Uni-
versal Soul.—Elbert Hubbard.

RIGHT IN THE EYEI
If ever phi decide to d

how to go about it. Just ge
yourself a black eye.
I had a doozer recently. M
wife gave it to me. All right.
Not that way. She was sit-
ting in the car, waiting for me
to carry the groceries into the
house, through the rain. Just
as I bent and reached for the
car door to open it and ask
her if that was all, she opened
it smartly from the inside to
ask me why I hadn't brotigh
out an umbrella.
e
know, but, after all.
o So, when,the next joker made
✓ his move, I told him, dolefully,
u that a maiden lady who didn't
t like my column had thrown
acid in my face, and that I'd
y never have the sight of it again.
He turned green.

When the door nailed ine • i

goner. My wife shrieked an
ran straight into the house t
see whether my "loss of lim
or eye" accident policy wa
paid up.
Within few minutes, the
eye was the size and color'o
a h,arteader's beezer. But by
the time we'd finished arguing
about whose fault it had been
it was obvious that I'd live.
* * *
My next customer was a wo-
mien, who titterd,
teach you. to write things about
your wife in that column of
yours." I gave her a gentle,
sad look from my good eye,
t and suggested that she not let
the divorce alienate her from
my wife. I left her with her
mouth open.
n I quickly disposed of an elder -
a ly lady, strong in the teniper-
d ance movement, by informing
o her the injury had been receiv-
b ed from my young daughter,
s when he clubbed me on the
eye with a half -empty whiskey

her, dug out some hamburg

made me lie down with a big
hamburg poultice on the- injur-
ed optic.
Right off the ice, it felt pret-

off to sleep, moaning but brave.
