A Phone Book The new look of the telephone books which were delivered this - week to Bell 'Telephone customers in Port Perry goes deeper than the slick buff covers according to J. W. Lowry, Bell manager for this region, The new directory cantains 15,425 new and changed listings. Many thousands of these are due to the ma- jor change in Oshawa and Port Hope's telephone numbering system. On Sunday, May 8, the new numbers which make use of the exchange name "RAndolph" in Oshawa and "TUrner" in Port Hope will be introduced into those two centres. This will bring Oshawa and Port Hope under the uni- form two-letter five-figure number- ing plan that is gradually being put | into effect ,throughout Canada and the United States. . There are also many new listings resulting from telephones being added in Port Perry and other centres ser- ved by this directory. : Because of the number changes in the: directory, Mr. Lowry urges tele- phone users to refer only to the new book, once it becomes fully effective. The effective date of the new directory is printed in a "box" on the front | cover, as a reminder to 'Bell customers. Mi. Lowry suggested that each tele- phone user check his copy of the Blue Book of Telephone Numbers against the new book, and bring. this personal list up to date. He said that this will help to eliminate calls to 'Information' which are often unnecessary. "B¥ listing' out-of-town telephone numbers in the Blue Book and giving the operator the number when placing a long distance call," said Mr. Lowry, "the telephone user can reduce by as much as half the time required to make the connection". This year, 35,183 telephone books were distributed initially in Oshawa, Cobourg, Bowmanville, Port Hope, Whitby and surrounding territory as compared to 31,663 last. year. Delivery of the telephone book here is part of the gigantic task of publi- cation and distribution performed by the company each year. During 1954, 56 different directories issued through out Bell's Ontario-Quebec territory used up 3,603 tons of paper. These directories varied in size from the smallest, with" 28 pages, delivered to 3,350 customers to the, largest con- taining more than 1,600 pages, of which 600,000 copies were issued.
