The death occurred last week at Thornbury of a grandson of Laura Secord. famous heroine of the war of 1812-14. in the person of Morto James Carthew. well-known barrister, after a brief illness. He was the eldest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Edward Car- thew and was born in Guelph, where his father was for some years collect- or .of customs. His mother was the second youngest daughter of Laura Secord. Deceased was a former law partner of Hon. H. B. Morphy, K.C., of Listowel, and had been residing in Thornbury about eight years. He is survived by his widow, four daughters and two sons.

McLean seem to have so split up the vote in the southern part of the town that all lost out.

Around town little or no criticism had been heard against them, and even on nomination night none present had any bad things to say about them. Evidently the people just decided to have a few new ones and with this object in view set out to do it. There was no issue this year.

While The Chronicle has gained nothing finan- cially in the transaction we have every hope that the new idea will be so successful that the next change will be to make all reversed charge calls1 payable on a station-to-station rate irrespective of the fact that they are The new rates are to come into ef- fect on the first of February, and while they will mean a saving to the public generally on the longer distance and higher priced calls, there is every indication that the telephone company will have more revenue therefrom. ing it does not unduly interfere with the existing policies of his company.

Routley, Division nManager at London, and received a :reply on September 24 stating that 'the matter was already being dealt ‘with and that his letter had been for- !warded to the Head Office at Mont-‘ Ereal. From this we would take it that :Mr. Cooke is a “mover,” is anxious that all patrons in his district shall have good service at moderate cost, and from the quickness with which the new change was put through, he must be very highly regarded by the higher-up telephone officials at Mont- real from whom all changes emanate.

At jpresent they are accepted as person~ [to- person calls at a higher rate.

A cheaper rate was the sta- tion-to-station call, when anyone ans- wering the telephone called would be accepted. I In the course of the discussion the Chronicle editor quite naturally aired Ihis own personal grievances, which, [by the way, are also of , interest to gother newspapers, and pointed out a way in which the Bell Telephone Com- pany might increase its revenue by reducing its rates. This was in the “reversed charges” calls. At the present ‘ time when the charges are reversed, the charge is considerably higher, and is rated as‘ a person-to-person call.
