'II was soniewhat taken aback," said organizer Tom Oldham of the turnout, but adding that the petition to support Bell Canada's ap-- plication for direct dialing has "taken off." The petition 'urges the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecom- munications Commission (CRTC) to expedite hearing with regard to the application. «Residents can state on the petition either that they support or don't support the appeal to the CR- TC to rule in favor of. the ap- plication. Qîdman says less than fiveper cent of names so far collec- ted oppos *e the requested change in criteria to allow direct dialing.. A Bell Canada representative at last week's meeting 'was unable to say the cost of the extended service for Whitby residents since a new cost rating study is, being under- taken by Bell Canada. The study isn't expected to be completed until March or April. Qîdman says Feb. 14 will be the final date petitions can be submit- ted. lie is sending petitions to the CRTC as they corne in'and says residents can caîl him at 668-4104 for more information.
