Their arrival was needed in order to provide that the long- ignored part of North America would become Upper Canada and fin- ally Ontario. Many who claim to have been here before them, as well as the millions that have join- ed us since, I simply say. It is indeed a pleasure to honour these very brave pioneers and their hundreds of thousands of decendants through- out Ontario. Not only are we celebrating the Province of Ontario, but we are also commem- - Perry Santa orating the fact that Ontario was built of loyalty and courage. Roy Walker Smith, Port Perry.

' As of December 1, any resident living in the area served by Compton Cable TV will be able to subscribe to a package featuring the three pay networks: First Choice- Superchannel; The Sports Network and Much Music. Actually, the three net- works have been on the Compton Cable system for the past few weeks and available to any subscriber with a con- verter on the TV set, as the cable company has been setting up and testing the equipment used to bring pay TV to customers.

" He said he is hoping that about 20 per cent of the existing 2500 cable customers in Port Perry and Uxbridge will take the pay-TV package. So far he has had more than 40 requests. The cost for the three channel package will be $15.95 per month, and that includes install- ation and a decoder which will be covered by a $40 refundable de- posit. Anyone wishing pay-TV will have to have a converter and these cost anywhere from $80 to $150. All three channels will be available in stereo which improves the sound quality, said Mr. Compton. First Choice-Super- channel features mostly Bomb found (From page 1) the bomb and grenade, but they are treating the incident as 'an isolated one. The grenade was de- scribed as a "36 pattern type' used at one time by the Canadian forces. It was brown in colour with a lot of rust on it. The bomb was the kind used by the forces for practice and training. The police spokesman said that regardless of whether the devices are harmless or "live" the public dump is not the place to try and get rid of them. p.o. box 420 143 scugog street, port perry, ontario LOB 1NO PHONE: 985-2287 NET MONTHLY RATES NET MONTHLY RATES LI I TE ES Minimum Bill (under 50KWH) . $4.00 LI For Residentisl Customers For General Service Customers KWH COST PER KWH COST PER CONSUMPTION KILOWATTHOUR CONSUMPTION KILOWATTHOUR LE SSAA LI LE EI Sheena No Charge CECI Minimum bill (under 50 KWH) ... $4.00 Lo movies (un-edited and without commercial interruptions) along 'with variety and enter- tainment specials. The Sports Network carries athletic events from around the world; and Much Music has concerts and videos. Pay TV has been available in larger urban areas of Canada for the past couple of years, but the industry got off to a rocky start as one network folded within a year and two others- First Choice and Superchannel- were forced to merge. Mr. Compton said the $15.95 per month pack- age price is much more attractive for cust- omers. When the net- works first went on the air, each channel cost that much. He also said the system hasn't been made avail- able here until now because of the substan- tial capital investment required on the part of the cable company. He said - the equipment necessary to bring pay TV to the customers cost the company Good work! fo Port Perryarea $50,000. But he believes it will be profitable to the cable company '"'over the long haul." There is a possibility that three more pay networks could be avail- able some time next year, including an all news channel. Compton Cable will start taking orders for the pay TV package on December 1 and Mr. Compton said the wait- ing period for hook-up will be no more than a couple of days.
