demolition and cleanup must be completed before kindergarten begins in september it was felt by many that in future the lower three class rooms might be needed for pupil accommodation rather than add to the new school there are however many rules and regulations concerning which the higher authorities have full control and further investigation might reveal this impossible following adjournment

how does it feel to be 100 years old exhilar ating isnt it all the celebrations fun and excitement marking centennial year i hope all of you had a great july 1 celebration and also that you are able to enjoy many of the special events seemingly going on everywhere in the country this year it almost appears as though canada and canadians have rediscovered that fun is con tagious it should be a lively exciting and friendly road towards our 200lh vear we in bell canada are also celebrating a new moa- tone this month lata in june the s millionth telephone went into sendee somewhere in our quebec or ontario territory it hardly seem possible that just four yaara after we added our 4 millionth telephone this newrecord has been act after all it did take e5 years to reach the one million mark from ism when the bell t company of canada wis founded until april ims since then the millionth milestones have come with tnrreas- ing swiftness four million telephones in just 22 yean we feel that this rapid growth of telephones in our terri tory reflects ihe vitality and everexpanding development of the two provinces for 14 of those 22 yean canadians have held the title of the worlds lalklngest people per haps that is partly the results of bell canadas efforts in helping canadians bridge the miles for most of our coun trys 1m years no special celebrations marked the in stallation of the 5 millionth telephone in fact wa have no idea which home or office in our territory can claim the honor you could be using it however if you had a telephone installed late last month you may have noticed that or the past several months telephone news the small insert that arrives with your account has been carrying a message about the area codes in different parts of canada as you know canada and the united states have been divided up into more than 100 areas each assigned its own distinct area code here in acton our area code is 519 although someone else in another community on the continent may have the same telephone number as you when your number is prefixed by your area code it becomes unique over the entire telephone network using the area code when you call long distance speeds vour messages easily across the miles for instance where direct distance dialing is avail able you can dial your own long distance calls where calls must be placed through an operator giving her the area code as well as the distant number helps her to speed your call the front pages of your telephone direc tory contain area codes for many places on the continent czip 4t cotmty comma has
