Bell Telephone Company Desires Raise of Rates During the past four years, the number of telephones in service in Flesherton has increased by almost "11 per cent, and local calls per day have more than doubled, Middleton Reed, Bell Telephone manager for this region, said this week in review ing the record--breaking post-war demand for sei-vice which has re- CiUired the addition of much espec- ially-made and costly equipment. There aret now 420 telephones in use in Fleshertom, compared with 2".5 four years ago. Local calls av- £'age 1,540 per day against 690 in 1945. In order to meet this unprece- dented demand for service, the com- pany has continuously improved and enlarged its facilities. The conver- sion of the exchange from maguetn to common battery in November, 1946. provided for this growth in telephones and traffic. Coniversion is a complex task, involving much now equipment and wire and cable construction. Extensive outsid... con St ruction was also carried out dar- ing 1949 to bring relief to rural lines. At present there are no wait- ing applicants for service in Flesh- erton, Jlr. Reed said, as a result of thi^ invpoi-vement program, which has resulted in the a'idition of IS.i telephones in the past four years. Increases of 25 cents per month for two-party residence telephone sen-ice in Fle.'sherton and of 35 cents for residence individual Ifnes, avo proposed in Bell Telephone's appli- cation for revised rates filed in Ot- tawa wiiji the Board of Transport Commissioners for Canada, accord- ing to Mr. Reed. The proposed in- crease for individual line business sei-vice is $1.15 monthly, while thj proposed rate for two-i>arty business service is 90c higher than at present. It is intended that the proposed rates shall apply to all standard types of telephones supplied by the company. -A. comparison of present hand tel- ephone rates for typical classes of service with proposed rates in Flesh- erton are as follows: Residence Pres. Pro. In. Individual line 2.40 2.75 .'^o Two-pary line 2.20 2.46 .25 Rural line 1.T5 2£5 .50 Extension telephone .90 1.00 .10 Business: Individual line 2.8S 4.00 1.15 Twoiparty line 2.3S 3.25 .90 Rural line 2."00 3.75 .75 Extension telephone 1.15 1.25 .10 Until hand telephones are avail- able in quantity sufficient to supplv all who desire them, subscribers who presently have, wall telephones will temiporarily pay 35 cents less, and those having desk telephones 15 cents less, per month.

On her way heme at six o'clock she had to cross .Annette Street and with the heavy traffic at that time she almost hit by a trolley but and the driver had tc swerve to avoid hitting her. .Ap- parently she became panicky and confused and ran acrOss the remain- aer of the street in front of a car coming the opposite way. The driver tried to avoid her, but some part of tl.e car caught her coat and twirled her around and thrcAv her to the pavement. She was taken to a near- by doctor's office, given first aid and then to St. Joseph's Hospital. Sh-.' sr.ffeved a broken right siioulder and had eight stitches in a cut above her right eye, wns severely bruis.'d and suffered extreme shock. Little hope is held out for her recovery, clue to her age. Mrs. .Armstrong's eyesiffht has been steadily failing m llie past few years. A. D.
