Mr. FOURNIER: The hon. member has been here a long time. Mr. ARCHIBALD: I do not think you have a radio telephone service. Mr. FOURNIER: Perhaps not; I shall have to Inquire and I shall let my hon. friend know. Would Help Plan Service Mr. ARCHIBALD: I should like tc inform the minister that they now have an aeroplane service. If they had a radio telephone service In the event of a crisis they could get In touch with the plane at Rupert or Massett or at Queen Charlotte city, as the case may be. They have no doctor there; therefore it is vital to have thlg service. Inasmuch as the machinery Is there, we cannot see why the government cannot operate the service in the in-sls of the people. There is one other question. I 1 si II! I I f 1 ifll 1 I 1 ' r - '" """M nmilifw Ail.m. VrU. Inf. )VVJ "When should we deliver it? KTV .

Box 171 Down at Skidegate and Queen Charlotte City there is a line from the old R.CAF. station which was situated at Aliford Hay across from the village of Skidegate. This plane service lands at Aliford Bay, yet the telephone has been disconnected on the Skidegate side of the bay, and they do not know when the planes are landing or anything about them. They missed planes there because the planes left before the people knew any-thin? about it. Would the department' consider hooking uo that existing line so that they could telephone? There would be no great cost; I imagine one of these old Jangle phones would work. Mr. FOURNIER: Certainly we shall consider it, if we can help the people in the outlylne parts oi your province. The object of j these votes for telephones and telegraphs is to help these people who have no other means of communication. No one ehe will undertake to give them these facilities, and certainly we shall consider what my hon. friend has said.

Quality Repairs Economy Prices at PRINCE RUPERT SHOE REPAIR 3rd St. (Near the Post Office) Telephone To Kispiox Mr. ARCHIBALD: There Is another poit I want to bring up in connection with the telephone service running Irom the Yukon down through Haielton. The people of the Kispiox valley, which rung forty miles out of Hazelton, are hooked up with that system. Tney have been paying $250 a month or $30 a year for that service; that is the charge for each Individual phone. As I understand it, only five families live up In that valley, and you are going to charge them anywhere from 10 cents to 20 cents a call in addition to the $2.50 a month. This Is In a lrontier area.'tmt you are going to put the whole load on them. Quite often when the service who are paid $720 per annum or about $60 per month. They cannot make a .go of it at that rate, with the present cost of living. Mr. FOURNIER: They are appointed by the civil service commission. ( Mr. AKcamALD: jney are- hired by you, are they not?

Better Service At Burns Lake Mr. ARCHIBALD: Also in connection with this rural telephone set-up, in the town of Burns Lake the switchboard is not operated twenty-four hours a day. That is a divisional point as it were, for a wide area with a scattered population, and they would like a telephone ojArator on duty twenty-four hours a day. x unuersiana It is nooRpd un breaks down those people out go wlth thc Uce sUU and h and spend days working on the not been found rellable , casc jmc, uui mey jiave never cnargcu ! 0f emergency tW.t J . a i i ia. ml I " ' uic ucpai mieni ioi Jixnig it. me line is practically hanging on the branches of the trees at the present time, as-I ge't the picture, and they would like to be allowed to call through the exchange at Hazelton to their local store without being soaked that additional 10 to 25 cents per call. Mr. FOURNIER: Who gave you that information? Mr. ARCHIBALD: I do not want to give the source of my information in public, but I am getting it straight and I can assure you it is rellable. Mr. FOURNIER: I have not tiiat information. Mr. ARCHIBALD: That is what I get, that they are being charged for each call, and I have it from absolutely reliable sources which I shall give the minister later. There is an Indian mission up in that valley in addition to these rarrches, and this telephone ilne Is their only way of communications with the outside. Part of the year they are absolutely sewn up because of muddy roads, and must depend upon this teleDhone service.
