Free Pree Photo Oldnian to hold meeting for telephone petition STom Oldinan of Wh-itby plans ta hold a meeting Tuesday, Dec. 15 for anyone wanting ta help orgamize a petition ta obtain direct dial telephone service between Whitby and Toronto. Qîdman, who has received about 50 phone calîs since he recently outlined plans for a petition, will ask those attending the meeting whether they want ta start a petition before or after a Bell Canada hearing underway before the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)>. Bell Canada has applied to the CRTC for direct dialing between Whitby and Toronto. rhe decision should be known carly in the new year. The Whitby application by Bell Canada meets two of three criteria required for local calling: a majority (74 per cent) of Whitby residents with phones make at least one caîl a month ta Toronto, and the Whitby phone centre is less than 30 miles from the Toronto phone centre ("we're 27," says Qîdman). The hearing is required because Whitby doesn't meet the third criteria: the Whitby border must touch the Toronto border. If an amendment is made ta, overlook that requirement, then Bell Canada must hold a vote among residents ta determine whether they want local calling ta Toronto. Oldman says Whitby residents can either support Bell Canada's application by drawing up a petition now, or later should the results of the hearing not support the application. Oldman says almost aIl of the 50 people who called him favored local calling but he realizes that many won't support the plan because of the higher phone bills. Hie says a petition will provide a Yes or No space for residents so as not ta, be "one-sided." Oldman says Whitby is ready for local calling particularly with many new residents who have family or employment ties in Toronta. The Dec. 15 meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in the gold room at the Centennial building on Centre St. S. in Whitby. th Anniversary 5h Rentai Special Sunday to Thursday Most tapes $.79 to $.99 New releases $1 .99 Frlday or Saturday Most tapes $.99 to $2.49 New releases $3.50 Speclal Rates on Machine Rentais.
