' Allan Lawrence, Darce Campbell and Roy Grierson agree on one thing: unemploy- ment is the single most serious issue facing Canadians. The Conservative, Liberal and NDP candi- dates for Durham Northumberland made the comments during a public meeting held last Friday morning at the Durham Christian High School in Bowmanville. The meeting was attended by only about 35 people, with the poor turn-out likely due to the fact it was held in the morning on a weekday. Also taking part in the debate was Libertarian Party candidate Gordon Page, 59, a machine shop owner from Peter borough. He turned out to be a man of few words, responding to questions with one line answers and reading the party platform which generally calls for less government. The other fringe can- didate in the Durham Northumberland riding, Brian Flynn of the Rhino Party, failed to. appear at the meeting. On the issue of unem- ployment, all three main line party candi- dates also agreed that solutions to this problem are going to cost money. Mr. Grierson said the andidates say jobs i the important issue i 38 New Democrat job creation proposals would cost about $5 billion, which he called a 'small price to pay", and less than the schemes being put for- ward by both the Liber- als and Conservatives during this election campaign. Mr. Grierson called unemployment a tragedy that leads to all kinds of social ills, including alcoholism, (Turn to page 3) Vol. 118 No. 39 Tuesday, August 28, 1984 40 pages Bell will change billing system for telephones There will be a new way of billing for tele- phone service starting September 1 in Bell Canada territory. On that day, restruct- ured telephone rates will come into effect for Bell Canada customers, providing separate charges for lines and the rental of telephones and other equipment. Monthly rates for basic local telephone service have traditionally included the rental of the first telephone.

Private line business or residence customers can continue to lease sets from Bell or purchase them from Bell or any other.. supplier. Effects of the new rates on customers' accounts will vary. For some, the monthly tele- phone bill will decrease; for others it will increase. "It all depends on the type and number of services and equipment each customer leases from Bell", said Orma Lyttle, Bell's manager for the Port Perry exchange. This new method of paying for your tele- phone service is a result of a move made by Bell in 1979, when it asked the Canadian Radio- television and Tele- communications Commission, if the attachment of custom- er-provided equipment was in the public interest. In August of 1980, Ms. Lyttle said, the CRTC in an interim decision ruled that Bell Canada customers could purchase their own extensions and connect them to Bell's network by means of a jack, provided the equipment met the requirements for connection that were established at that time. Following hearings in 1982, the CRTC confirm- (Turn to page 2) Bowlers turned out by the dozens last Tuesday night to participate in the Big Bowl for Millions fournament- fundraiser.
