WES its all over , The electorate have now passed on their decision and this decision coupled with two retirements from municipal politics has brought about an almost complete new council for 1977-78. Although only two remain from the old council there is considerable experience added through the election of five new members to council in that Woodyard, Gray and Dykstra have had previous experience. Holliday and Taylor should soon adjust to municipal affairs both having related experience. One may say that a great deal has changed in the past few years but the change has not been in principle but only in •quantity and numbers. The present council had lost its credibility and this must be renewed through a joint effort of all members of council. There could well be'diver opinions on council but it is to be hoped debate is objective and in accord with the principals set forth in the by-law of the Town. Its on to a new era ... how much will it change.

McDougall, Secretary-Registrar for the Ontario Telephone Service Commission to Mr. P. Burton of R.R. 1, Orono, Ontario relating to the matter of a wider local calling area out of the local Orono system. Mr. McDougall has stated that a number of recent submissions to the Ontario Telephone Service Commission Commission had referred to an Extended Area Service. The following is a memorandum from the Secretary-Registrar outlining some of the details and problems associated with widening the local calling area. Extended Area Service (ÉAS) is a phrase used to .describe the ability of a telephone subscriber to place calls outside his or her local calling area without incurring a toll (long distance) charge. Extended Area Service is not "free" calling. Each telephone company ; which participates in an Extended Area Service plan is required to provide cable and switching equipment to make this service available to its customers, and each company must collect additional additional revenues from its customers customers to pay for this additional additional equipment. Telephone companies want to provide their customers with the type of services the customers desire, and are continuously studying different different 'methods and plans that will accomplish this goal. As in any plan, there are a number of things which must be considered before a final , decision is made. One of these we have already discussed; that is, what do the customers want? Another factor which plays an important part is the customers' "community of interest", where he or she does their business, their shopping, etc. Considerations such as these are labelled "Social Considerations".' There is another group of considerations which are .ab- eled "Economic ' ; Considerations". Considerations". These are generally divided between the customer and the company. What rate customers are willing and able to pay for E AS is an example of an economic consideration for the customer. customer. What EAS will cost the , telephone company to provide, provide, and how much toil (long distance) revenue is lost as a. result of EAS are economic considerations for the company. company. Thesè and numerous others are among the items considered considered when planning for Extended Extended Area Service. * When Extended Area Service Service is proposed, input and decisions are required from the customers involved, the telephone companies, and the regulatory bodies which govern govern these companies. No one party can make the decision. A significant majority of customers must indicate their desire for EAS by means of survey, petition, etc. Companies must assess and evaluate their equipment requirements requirements , and the costs associated with providing the increased service. The regulator must weigh the data and the information, and decide whether or not the proposal will be fair, equitable equitable and compensatory., both for the customer and the company. When one of the companies involved is regulated by a Provincial regulatory body and the other by a Federal regulatory jsody, approval of both bodies is required before the Extended Area Service proposal can be implemented. implemented. , ' Following approval of feuch a plan, the companies involved involved must design, engineer and construct the additional facilities facilities required in order to makh the service available to their customers. Needless to say, this entire process takes time. From the time customer^ express their desirp for extended area The Frog Print Theatre held in Orono on Saturday afternoon was a great show fop the kiddies and even adults. The event was sponsored sponsored by the Town of Newcastle Newcastle Library Board in co-operation co-operation with the Central Ontario Regional Library Board and „the Ministry of Community Services.
