WELL EQUIPPED TANK TRUCK The Township of Reach have se- cured a 1000 gal. tank truck and re- converted it into a valuable fire-fight- ing machine.

B. Dymond, the President, in the chair. It was unfortunate that we had to cancel the evening meeting which we had planned to have the last week in May, but we shall try to have one in the autumn, and shall hope for the support of the public at that time. We were pleased with the number of visitors on National Hospital Day and felt that the day was quite a success. Our most recent purchases for the Hospital were an instrument table, and a cautery machine, both for the operating-room. = We feel that the operating-room is now really well equipped. i) We have also ordered a deep freeze for the kitchen. This latter article means quite an outlay of money, but we feel it will be most helpful in the preservation of food, and should also permit the.purchasipg of larger quan- tities of food at a much lower figure. In the very near future prizes for the Penny Draw will be on view for about a week, Tickets will be on sale throughout the summer, and in the autumn the prizes will again be dis- played for a few days prior to the Draw. This is our big project for the summer and we are depending on all our friends to make it an even bigger success than last year.

Dial Port Perry will have dial telephones in 19568, J. W. Lowry, Bell Telephone manager for this region, told the Ex- ecutive members of the Port Perry Chamber of Commerce Tuesday even- ing. The changeover to dial operation will be made during that year as part of the Bell Telephone Company's con- tinuing program to improve service throughout its territory, Mr. Lowry said. : In addition to improved local ser- vice, the introduction of the dial sys- tem in Port Perry will also result in speedier long distance service, the manager revealed. Port Perry will then be linked to the continent-wide direct distance dialing network, by which operators can dial direct to telephones in any centre connected to the network without the assistance of any other operators along the way. Ultimately telephone users themsel- ves will be able to dial from their own telephones direct to most centres .in North America. Co-incident with the change to dial, new telephone numbers consisting of the first two letters of an exchange name, an evchange numeral and four figures will be introduced in Port Perry. The new numbers, similar to those now in use in Oshawa, conform with a uniform numbering plan gra- dually being adopted throughout North America as part of the direct distance dialing project. The change will not affect the pre- sent free-calling arrangements be- tween Port Perry and Blackstock, Mr. Lowry noted. Before the dial system can be in- augurated in Port Perry; several com- plicated and costly projects must be carried out over a period of almost two years. Property for a new build- ing must be purchased, the building must be designed and erected, switch- ing equipment must be engineered and built to suit the needs of the.com- munity, the entire wire and cable net- work Serving the area must be over- hauled and altered, and every tele- phone. instrument must be replaced by a modern dial instrument. "The Bell Telephone's overall pro- gram calls for the eventual conversion of all its non-dial exchanges in On- tario and Quebec to dial operation," Mr. Lowry explained. "In the last 10 years the number of dial-operated telephones has grown from 69 to 84 per cent, and the percentage is con- stantly increasing as more and more exchanges are.changed to dial. "However, the conversion process is necessarily a slow one. Not only is each cutover a costly and time- consuming project, but the unprece- dented demand for-telephones that has characterized the post-war years throughout our territory has limited the @mount of equipment available for this purpose. "Consequently, the order in which exchanges are cut over to-dial has to be closely co-ordinated and carefully planned so that both local telephone requirements and the needs of the overall program can be met. With these considerations in mind, we are planning to change over the Port Perry exchange to dial operation in 1958. The exact date and other de- tails will be announced well in ad- vance of thé change." Between now and the time of the cutover everything possible will be done to provide satisfactory service under the present magneto, Mr. Lowry assured Port Perry telephone users. Indeed service would be improved considerably if all Port Perry tele- phone users remembered to ring off at the end of their conversations, he commented. At present a fairly large number of people are neglect- ing to do this, and the operators con- sequently have to devote quite a bit of time checking to see if a line be- ing called is still in use. If they did- n't have to do this they would have just that much more time to handle more calls during busy periods. Perry to have Phones by 58 John Hodgins To Be Examiner John Hodgins, brilliant young To- ronto organist and Choirmaster, has rapidly gained prominence in the field of -choir training as a result of the many recitals and broadcast perform- ances of his choir of Grace Church-on- the Hill, Toronto. The choir's boys have been heard on the air in the CBC Opera Company's production of "Tur- andot", and in radio performances of Benjamin Britten's "Saint Nicholas Contata" and "Spring Symphony", the latter performance with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and Mendelsson Cheir. i : . Mr; Hodgins is also" director of music at The Bishop Strachan School, Toronto, and trained a girls' choir from this school which. he toured throughout the United Kingdom in 1953 in connection with the Corona- tion. The Edinburgh Scotsman. re- ported "Sweetness of tone and nice en- semble", and the St. Andrew's "Citi- zen" -, .. "the choir under complished conductor gave an admir- ably balanced and polished perform- ance of a very high order". This choir gave ten broadcast recitals on the CBC Trans-Canada Network in 1954, A member of the Conservatory's Board of Examiners, John IHodgins is much in demand as an adjudicator, not only because of his training as a licentiate of Trinity College, London, and his experience as a leading faculty. member of The Royal Conservatory of Music, but also because of a natural wit and charm that are appreciated by students and audience alike.

JOHN HODGINS member of the faculty of the Royal Conservatory of Music of Toronto, will conduct current exaniinations for the Conservatory in Port Perry on June 12th, and in Sunderland, June 13th and 14th. Presentation The Scout, Cub and Guide Mothers gathered at the Scout Hall on Fri- day evening to honour a very faith- ful worker and friend, Mrs. Vernon Bryden. ~The evening began about 6.30 when Mrs. Kerry with her car and 4 other ladies called for Mrs. Bryden to take her for a car ride out for tea' which was enjoyed very much. On arriving back to Mrs. Kerry's home a message had been left that we were to go to Scout Hall on busi- ness. On. entering the Scout Hall the ladies greeted Mrs. Bryden by singing for She's a Jolly Good Fellow. Tables and cards were all ready for a few games of Court Whist which was en- joyed by all. A contest of Sharades was conduct- ed by Mrs. McDonald. A comedy act by Mrs, McDonald was then enjoyed by all, after which Mrs. Bryden was called on to come for- ward when she was presented with a card table and 4 chairs by Mrs, Bar- rie and Mrs. Gibson. A lovely lunch was then served bringing the even- ing to a close.
