We are legally obligatcd to maintain the privacy of telephone service. However, on the production of a search warrant thc police have the right of access to Company property and records. 0f course, the Bell cannot be a party to wîre tapping as it would violate our obligation to maintain the privacy of the telephone conversations. I just thought I might mention these few facts about our telephone > service for your general information since 1 have been asked on occasion about this matter. 0f course, there still is the rural multi-party line which gives each customer easy access to the conversations of others you say? True, but with încreased spread of technology and availabîlity of facilities, the days of the multiple "click" when six or more receivers hang up after a "good" conversation has cnded may soon corne ta an end. TRULY CANADIAN A great many people do flot have a clear Idea of the scope of The Bell Telephone Company of Canada, and 1 would like to take a few lines and perhaps shed some light on the subjeet. Contrary te popular conceptions, the Bell does flot extend from coasi te coast, as our name might imply, but serves Ontario, Quebec and a large section of the Northwest Territories and Labrador. As we do serve a very large segment of the Canadian geog. raphy, we must have a rather large employee body, which now numbers more than 35,000 people. Nlnety-three per cent of our total stock is owned by, over 150,000 Canadians residing in Canada. In 1962 the Canadian economy was stimulated through the Company spending over $600,000.000 in Canada in thie form cf wages, taxes, construction, operating costs and many other categories too numerous te mention In order te bring to our more than 2,600,000 customers, the best possible telephone service at the lowest possible cost.
