In- Bell explains new rate system CONT'D FROM PG. 7 customers 18 "very good value for the quality of set and the fact there is no0 extra charge for maintenance." Customers should be aware that if they en- counter problems with their service, they should make sure it is not their own equipment that is causing the trouble. If Bell makes a repair visit and no0 trouble is founid with its facilities Sthen a charge is applied. This diagnostic main- Stenance charge applies if trouble continues when the customer's equlpment is reconnec- ted. To try and avoid this charge people should check to see if the trouble is in their equipment before they cail Bell for repair ser- vice. Customers who pur- chase their sets should also make sure that the sets they buy meet the technical requirements for connection to the telephone network. Telephone equlpment that has been certified by Communications Canada does meet this requirement and lu identified by a Com- munication Canada label. Because of technical reasons, party-line customers cannot own their own equlpment and as a result their basic telephone bil will Between You and Me By RUTH COLES w____ An empty stomach Io flot a good political advisor.

Have you ever eaten one? Warmn and filling they have served a purpose over the years. Cornwall, England lu the home of copper and tin mines, basically tin. This has been so for centuries but now many or most have been closed. The origin of the pastie was the miner's lunch. jSomethlng nourishlng and warm to tide hlm over the day. It was a self contained meal. The true pastie was made with a piece of tender pastry about the size of a dinner plate filled with meat, potatoes and other vegetabies. The pastry was then folded over in a haîf moon shape and crimped along the edges. Sometimes a little Cornish cream was added to the whole. To keep the pastie warm and intact it was generally wrapped with layers of paper. he contents of the pastie can be any vegetable or meat as desired by the miner. Something to be looked forward to when the noon break came for lunch. Filling and nutritious it was a completely self contained meal. When rny husband was designlng and building utility stations ail across England during the war he often had a pastie for lunch, wrapped in a car blanket and i this way kept warm until the meal time arrived. Often far away froin any type of food outiet it was an ideal way to satisfy any pangs of hunger. If we feel we would like one we drop into the Earl of Durham Pub the odd time. We don't feel any pasties bought in this country run quite true to form. but even so0 we love them. My son-in-law phoned last week to teil us Marks and Spencer sell thein, too. i don't know whether they are made here or flown over from England. The last thought occured to me because I hear flowers are flown over on a daily basis froin other parts of the world. Now that sunimer is drawlng to a close and the cool weather will beupon usin afew wethe thought of a pastie might be appeallng and welcome. As soon as September comes the weather generally warms up again once the children are back inschool. Autumnis such abeautiful time of the year. The air especially is so balmy and very différent to hot summer and often high humidity. Just at this moment a hugh flock of geese are flying low over the lakte and honking as they go. Why do they honk as théy fly? Is it to warn other birds of their presence because they form. quite a barrier up there i the sky. Or maybe they are so happy to be wiglng their way to either fields of grain or to the harbouir they vocaize. remain the same. The new rates also apply to pushbutton telephones. Customers with Touch-Tone telephones will now pay separate rates for the Touch- Tone line and for the set. Also, the Touch-Tone line charge must be paid, even if customer- owned equlpment' is connected to, it. The other pushbutton service, Digipulse, which is being phased out as new technology expands, signals the telephone network with the familiar pulses or "clicks" of the rotary dial set. Customers with this service will also see a change in their mon- thly rate. For those Digipulse customers wishing to change to, Touch-Tone, Bell will waive the nor- mal service charge from September 1 to February 28, 1985. Some examples 0f the new rates in the Whitby exchange are: A customer with one black rotary phone ren- ted from, Bell will pay a monthly charge of $10.30, an increase of 20 cents. A customer with two black rotary phones rented from Bell will pay $11.85, a reduction of 25 cents. A customer with one regular Touch-Tone phone will see the bill go fromf $13.45 to $13.65, an increase of 20 cents. A customer with two Contempra Touch-Tone sets will see the bill go from $20.95 to $19.20. A customer with on Digipulse set will see the bill go from, $13.45 to $13.00. A customer with two Digipulse sets will see the bill go from $15.45 to $16.25. fered its members the unique opportunity of 'hands on experience' and learning by par- ticipating.
