R-->ION() WEE KLY TIMES, WFI)NESD. Y, MAY A GOOD PROPOSAI, Cemmuunity Telephone has come up with a good proposai concerning what could be an unprecidented plan for providing long distance servicè4jrom the Orono exchange. The com-pany has tagged the scheme "Call-Pac" which in f act provides a service for thosè wanting an extended callîng area. Ilt is so designed that the user of the s rvice pays for the service while those that do net use the service are not charge for a service they do net use. t appears froi a this corner te be an equitable plan fer ail concerned. Sorme in Orono have been calling ýor an extendedi service area. The desire has been fer thes~ individuals te be able te cail such places as Bowmanville and Oshawa free of long distance charges. But such an extentio of service would be a charge for ahl subscribers w hether or net they used the service. In the case of a business which ma y make numerous long-distance calîs they weuld he subsiî d, se te, speak, by other who rarily used the service. The Call-Pac scheme appears te provide an equitable answer for the problem. As a matter of fact the cha'i- of the Ontario Telephene Services Commission was in -agreement with the proposai. Ontario hydre is aise nearing a similar stage where they are saying, those whe use hydre are going te have te pay for it. Volume use even with hydre is unfair and Hydre appears tebe approaching aone-rate systemn. __ ,The telephone service in Orono, a s far as we are concerned is quite adequate and we have né complaint of -the service. Naturally there 'are times wben )n e may have te wait for a short period of a number of secoMs but it is aise true that we don't always get through that stop light when we approach the corner and saime times one inay have te wait for another turn of the red light. This corner would like te support the Çall+pac scheme as a logicai and fair endeavour te i1 prove telephone service in this area..7 MAY WE ADD OUR THANKS Over the past week-end the Orono an expressed their thanks and apprecia 'tion l Basil Long for the part they have piayed ini Church and the cemmunity. This expression deserved and from ail outword ap appreciated. As Rev. Long hC stated his minist beyend the local Orofiét-arge. No doubt t' are eniy aware of the fringes of his service1 and this is the way it should be. To both Re v. 4nd Mrs. Long may we and appreciation for th@ service they ha cemmunity and as welextend our congratul area community o Rev. and Mrs. the Orono United i of thanks is weli ?earances most : ry has extendedý le general public te his community xtend our thanks, ve provided this FROM WHERE WE SIT- Over the past tw9 weeks we may net lave had the most adventageous seat as far as the local election is concerned but there certainly are some obvieus political conclusions. Sinice the announcement> of th~ election the conservatives have been on the move. ýThe nomination meeting drew a crowd of some eight hundred with other plaxlned activities receiving support from the PC supporters., Sam Cureatz, the PC candidate appears te be on the scene on ail fronts with a greeting and a handshake. The PCs have lodged their attack against, Deug Moffatt, NDP who held this seat in the past legisature and have been making the peint that a rnernber on the government side of the heuse can be of greater service te the ridïng than one in opposition. Moffatt has been tagged as negative in his approach te area development. The MC appear te be weli organîzed and taking every advantage te make a contact. It is aise apparent that there is a keen desire te rest the riding from the NDP before the NDP gets tee entrenched. Davis wil make two visits te the riding prier te electien day. Froma our vantage point, if such it is, Moffat appears te be keeping a low profile se far, se much se that even the PCs are beginning te wander what is up and w1hen the move wili be made.- Needless te say the NDP have ben organized for quite some time and there is ne doubt MIoffatt is making good use of his time in thîs important election for hlm. The NDP candidate has been a hard werking member, which ne one denies. H-e has ai.se been energetic almost at trnes te excess especially in the first few months as a new member of the house. But it must aise be recognized that ho bas net been able te work under ideai conditions either at the provincial level or at the municipal level. The PC entrenchment gees deep. Moffatt has meliowed and only laýt week made a legical and positive appeal te the Telephone Services Commissioni at'a public hearing in Orene. EvenI some of his bantering with hydre seems te have paid off and consideration is now being given to the use of heat fromn the proposed generating station in Dariington for local commercial use.1, P'ossibly the biggest question with th~e NDP candidate is how much of a conservative backiash in the last election benefitted his success at the polils and what acceptance dees the NDP realiy have in this riding. The liberais have 'had their campaign going for less than a week but even here there appears t 1 be a geed ferm of organization even with the slow start. Te polis certainly have net favoured the liberals across the province but thon Smith had realiy not made his meve and over the past couple of weeks has been coming forth with some reasonable ideas that at least should be censidered. Liberai successes in this riding have been somewhat dry for years, can a youthful Jean Dewney areuse a libral vote in enly a couple of weeks? Prom where wo sit...fer what it means.

DURHAM EAST LIBElRALSý ELECTED JOAN DOWNEY (Continued from page 1) ed, "watch out Deug and Sam, t he Durham East liber. * ais are alive and kicking. We have the will and we have the way," she said. "We as a provincial party and a riding will take a few knocks in this election as we have already, but 1 will assure you now that I wiil take my knocks standing up,"t she said. "If people accuse of US' being slow starters, we can rel ate the s tory of the tortoise She related the PC govern- mient to that of btgness and said, "bigness is not always better" and pointed to region- al governmnent as a creatien of the Conservatives. The NDP's, she said, are comm it- ted te large unions. Ontario, she said, had always been the leader in Canada and it will, take the liberals to create programs te stimulate employment in the province. David does net have the ability to cope with the problems, she said. "When I see what is *happening. it saddens me". Dewney said the liberals beleives in the need to deconcentrate economnic and politcal power thus giving individuals a feeling of impor- tance and a genuine stack in society. The liberals. have the workable solution, she said. Downey, told lher audience that there was a challenge, ahead but the liberals could win. "I'm a liberal . A Ican, work . .. and I can.work for you", she said. "The Davis government has shown its ineffective- ness", and a socialistic'gev- ernment under Lewis would do nothing to solve the probiems in Ontario or in this riding," she emphasised. Ron Amyotte in his bid fer the election for the liberai candidtory said it was time to throw aside the old-time politics and attack. He said hie felt there was three major issues in the province at this time, the survival of Canada as a nation; energy and- controls on the economy. Amnyotte said he had lived in Qu.ebec for 12 years and they want what we have. "They want their language, their culture and control of their economy. One of the greatest enemies in Quebec, hie said, is poverty. "We cannot continue te, waste energy as we have in the past", hie said and further pointed out that the creation of energy did cause pollution. "The PC administration, said Amyotte, will lead this province down the road te socialism". He, said controis were net enly costly but time censuming saying it takes from 2- te 5 years for a rezoning. "Lets free this country back to free enter- prise", hie said. MOFFATT SPEAKS FOR PETITIONERS (Continued from page 1) service should be extended. .He pointed out that Commun- ity Telephone Company pro- vided a limited service where Oreno users could phone to such exchanges free* of char- ge such as Newcastle and Newtonville. He stated ihat the municipal area had grown a nd it represented a long distance caîl to Bowmnanville or Oshawa. Mr. Moffatt stated it seemed a significant increase for the area served. Moffatt also said, some wanted the extension of service te other areas while others did not want such an extended service. In addressing the Commis- written and thorough but aise complex. t is difficuit te understand and few people have the time or ability te comiprehend this miaterial, he said. "We depend on you that everything in the report is factual and provabie", said Moffatt and we aise depend on you te keep us ipformed. Mr. David Duncan,,chair- man of the Ontario Telephene Service Committee, said it was their duty te go over- the information and make recem- mendatien of the ratés. He said te 'Moffatt, "I can understand your concera and assure that you will be informed when we reconvene- meetings in Toronto. Mr. Duncan aise said that it was the duty of the Commis- sion -te make sure the Company couid remain viable and. that -user rates were comparable te the service given. LIt is our deci sion that wiil determine the -rate,-, he said. It was aise stated that ail questions asked this night must be answered by the Company before any new rate structure is instituted. Mr. Brown for Cemmunity Telephone peinted eut that uines as referred te by Mr. Moffatt was duc te the lack of equipment and the delay in the delivery of tis Gien Andrews spoke ,, already waîting four years for a private uine while Elizabeth Currie said the service ieft a lot te be desired. Mrs. Seneco asked why they didn't get a cheaper rate for evening calling te which Comnmunity Telephone said they did but it did net show on the bill as a discounted rate. Mr. Bradley of Pentypool stated that te, make a cali te a ,neighhour in Pentypeol it couid well be a long distance cali.
