Tyne Valley Switchboard Acting on a tip from one of our users, Joan Vermette, I checked out a local antique store, and this is what I found. It is the switchboard from the Tyne Valley exchange. This particular board is historically significant, as Tyne Valley was the last magneto exchange in the province to be converted to dial operation, this occurring on November, 30th, 1977. The first operator of this exchange was Miss Mary Forbes who began serving in 1909. Mrs. Dyment, the operator on duty at the time of this directory, began working the exchange when her husband purchased the Forbes home in 1922. Miss Dora Dyment became agent in 1943, until the exchange moved to Dr. Stewart's store in 1948. A young lady, Miss Eleanor Birch became the new agent. In 1955, this switchboard was moved from Dr. Stewart's Drug Store in Tyne Valley, to the Royal Bank building, then 20 years later, to the home of the agent, now, Mrs. Eleanor (Birch) MacIntyre.

On Dec. 5, 1977 the official opening of the new dial exchange was held, combined with a tribute to the retiring Mrs. Eleanor MacIntyre, and members of her staff, Miss Phyllis Milligan, Miss Pearl Williams, Miss Darlene Ellis, and Mrs. Arnold Gillis.
