This will no doubt make for better reception conditions. as a new line has also been run into Town. Prior to the new system all the subscribers .could contact each other any time during the 24 hours. but. un- der the present system those on idlfferent circuits cannot contact each other after the central oper- ator goes off duty at night.

Takes Oath As Canadian Privy Council Member

OTTAWA. Jan. N-(CF)-Earl Alexander was admitted to mem- bership in the Canadian Privy Council today-the highest honor this country can bestow.

He took his oath of office in I simple, 15-minute ceremony in the Privy Council chamber in the Parliament Buildings. with Prime Minister st. Laurent and other state officials in attendance. Later, the 60-year-old former Governor-General told reporters? ”I am very highly honored and very deeply moved that this high honor has been given to me. It is the highest honor that Canada can give to anyone and I am naturally very proud of it.

"it also keeps u-p my contacls with Canada and I am very happy because it means I will not be severing my connections with this country." V

Lord Alexander. who becomes Britain's Defence Minister March 1. is one or the few non-Canad- iaiis-others are the Duke of Windsor and Prime Minister Churchill-who have become mem- bers of the Canadian Privy Coun- cil. which theoretically constit- utes the King's advisers in Can- ads.

The ceremony also meant that he becomex a member of the Canadian Council before he takes his place in the King's Imperial Privy Council as a member of the British cabin!-t.

He declined to comment on his appointment as British defence minister. announced in London last night.

"l'd better wait till I take up my job and see what it's all about." he said.

As he left Rideeu Hall for the swearing-in ceremony. Lord Al- exander told a reporter he felt that he had done all the things he planned to do as Governor- General and had enjoyed doing them. Most of all he had intended
