Lowry your telephone manager TELEPHONE BY CANDLELIGHT Talklng with a young frlend of mine not too long age, 1 was askcd how It is that duriag a power failure the telephone continues to, work. The lad was exclted and pleased one day when ail the llghts went out in his neighbaurhood, and wanted to share his glce with another lad across tawn. But he was frustrated because he thought the telephone wouldn't work cither. However, on picking up the phone, he was amazed to find that it DID work. This led hlm te, assume that the telephone campany has a separ- ate pow~er supply. Weil, we do, and we dan't! Like everyone eise, we depend on commercial power, and commercial power keeps your telephone working day ln, day eut, Just as it does your lights. But telephone service is vital, and se ail our cxchanges - includ- ing Bowmanville's o! course - have standby power sources In case of emergency. The instant aur cquipment detects a power failure, it swltches enta reserve battery power that can keep the exehange operating for niany hours. And diesel-driven emer- gency generaters are kept in readincss at strategie peints throîîghout aur territary to be brought in immediately ta keep any exchange eperating in- definitely. Power failures are very infrequent these days, but severe storms. construction accidents, etc. can and do cause disruptions every once ln a while. Thou.-h these are usually short-lived - thanks ta the diligence and public spirit of the power com- mission employees - it is still reassuring (and sometimes even remantie) ta be able te "telephene by candlelight." 0 THOSE CRANKY GOOD OLD DAYS Sarne peuple like ta reminisce about the -good aid days" and haw much better things were then. I wvander if thcy remember how much cranking it took ta get those good old days started! Yau cranked the car, the clothes wringer, the gramaphone... and the telephone. And they tell me that after you placed a Long Distance caîl, you had ta wait an average a! ncarly eight minutes befare you got your party. Today, o! course, it's !lick a switch here, press a button there - a sort o! "Instant actian" way a! daîng things. And as far as Long Distance gaes, you cao telephone all the way ta the Atlantic or Paca!ic coasts, bave a nice little chat, and then be off the phane in less time than it would have taken you ta get started way back when. And for five or six times 1cms the cost in those days! Could it be that the "good aId days" required so inuch cranking and waiting on the line, etc. that peope just didn't bave the time they take today to thlnk et how "bad" thlngs are??'?? t, o! the area was made vividly apparent when anc lookcd down on that great cavity in the earth's surface known as Steep Rock Lake. Here in 1943 huge pumps, mounted on barges, pumped the lake dry at the rate o! 300,000 gallons per minute, ta expose one o! the largest areas o! iran are ta be !ound on the North American Continent. Arriving at Fort Francis, the Members joined with the official party o! Prime Min- ister Robarts ta open the anc and anc-bal! mile Noden Causeway acrass Rainy Lake. This causeway marks the completon of an important link in the 1,181 mile No. Il bighway running from Toron- ta ta Rainy River. One might say it was a triumphant con- clusion ta Gavernor Simcoe'S main street o! Upper Canada, part o! which is Yonge Street in Toronto. Two o! the planes, bncluding the anc in which I was trav- elling, did not reach Fort Francis that night. The last two 'planes ta leave Fort William ran into heavy ramn and fog and were farced down on adjoining lakes. Aftcr taxing ta the nearest railraad track, we walked some dist- ance ta the road terminus, where a Lands and Forests car took us the 26 miles loto Fart Francis. Thus ended our fîrst day a! the expedition to study moase, goose, and papaase.
