They urged, however, a ~goâ€"slow" attitude, even though he agreed that it appeared as if the new inâ€" strument was on the verg of solyâ€" ing one of the major problems of heart surgeons.

F. Holland, local manager of the Beil Telephone Co. of Canada in Kilchcner-'l:‘terho, said that a new method speeding longâ€" distance telephone calls between the Twin Cities and Toronto went into effect Friday night. The system has been operating successfully for some time beâ€" tween the Twin Cities and Lonâ€" don, Ont., Brantford, Windsor and Sarnia. dres the rest of the work. The equipment enables the operator to complete long distance calls just as quickly as local calls. â€" it had completely proved its sucâ€" cess. Th;; nl\ethod. known h“ open:grw toll diali permits the opera here to lgfil direct to telephones in Toronto. Operators in these centres have specia!l equipment enabling them to dial into each city. She places the call much the same way as local ones are handled. Switchâ€" ing equipment in the exchange The new system is part of a continent wide plan which evenâ€" tually will link cities throughout the United States and Canada. Operation of System Here‘s how the directâ€"dialing system works. On a call to Torâ€" onto the operator plugs into a diâ€" rect circuit and dials the Toronto telephone number. â€" This action transmits pulses over the line and these pulses acâ€" tivate switching equipment in Toâ€" ronto, which automatically rings the called phone. Dial Into City As a result, despite their cauâ€" tion in heraiding the device as enâ€" tirely successful, they are ver: confident that before long it wifi become applicable for operations of a type now done very successâ€" fully but which require most deâ€" licate effort and have a high hazâ€" ard rate of success. When calling Sarnia for examâ€" ple the operator first dials a speâ€" cial code mumber which causes switching equipment at London to make the connection to Sarnia. Then she dials the Sarnia number. tion, the brain, which can exist undamaged for only a matter of seconds, is unaffected by an operâ€" ation of the type which still alâ€" lows the heart to be silenced for, gerhaps, an hour without damage. he surgeons are confident that in cases less complicated than those they have faced with it, it would permit much easier and more cerâ€" tain repairs, particularly in suturâ€" ing incisions. Escapes Injury When Train Hits Threeâ€"Ton Truck Donald Geisel, R.R. 3, West Montâ€" rose, escaped severe jpjury Monâ€" day when the threeâ€"quarter ton truck he was driving | was wrecked by a train at a levelâ€" crossing in nearby â€" Wellesley Township. Resembles Adding Machine The switchboard used for outâ€" ofâ€"town calls resembles an adding machine keyboard. The operator "dials" telephone number by punching out codes on these keys aâ€"a faster process than turning a ial. The ration is more complex if Winfir or Sarnia calls are glwcd from the Twin Cities. alls for these cities are routed through London, Ont. _ Kitchener â€" Waterloo residents now J)l.ce an average of 4,800 longâ€"distance calls a day.
