For the bene- Two district nimrods had their efforts well rewarded this month in the Elk Lake area when they bagged a half- ton moose. Howard Johnston, fit of others who might want to duplicate the feat, Mr. Johnston, an employee at Du- plate in Oshawa, reports that the moose bowed to a 30.06. Some of the history, some of the present operation and hints of things to come in the Bell Telephone were told members of the Kinsmen Club of Whitby at its meeting this week. War- ren Beatty, supervising engi- neer of the Bell Telephone Co. in Oshawa was the speaker who illustrated his address with model telephone equipment and sample telephones of the future. Using a mock-up model of a telephone system, Mr. Beatty outlined the history of the tele- phone in this country. Some 85 years ago, he said, when the first conversation was held, only two. wires were necessary to connect. Alexander Graham Bell and his assistant. As others joined on the circuit, he explain- ed, more lines were added, which also added to the cost. The indication of cost rise came when he noted that for 12 parties to be so connected, 66 pairs of wires were needed. For' 100 such party connections, he said, 4950 pairs of wires would be needed. Obviously, he said, such a complex system could not work satisfactorily. BROCK. Evening Shows At 6:55 & 9 P.M. wHiTsy SATURDAY MATINEE AT 1:30 ELVIS PRESLEY His Funniest... Happlest...Wildest... Picture! Color by DELUXE Show Movies At Young People's Faith Baptist Church Sr., Young People held its weekly meeting on Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Jones of Oshawa. President Paul Dale opened the meeting with everyone sing- ing several choruses. Lorraine Johnson followed with a word of prayer: Mr. Bill MacDonald brought the message his theme was "We as Christians Should Not Be Afraid." Colored movies and slides were shown of Young People's Camp "Spiration." Bill Wilde accompanied these by his com- mentaries. These proved to be so enjoyable that "Games Night" was postponed till this coming week. Following benediction given by Bill MacDonald lunch was served by the hosts. Games night next Tuesday evening will take place at the church at 8 o'clock. FIRST OPERATOR Then, he said, came the cen- tral office, thus requiring only one pair of wires for each sub- scriber to that central office. This brought about the first telephone operator in the 1880's he said. But, as the number of users mounted, he said, the switch- boards in the central offices found themselves with a need fer thousands of circuits and many more operators. To solve this problem, an in- vention by an Indiana under- taker, the mechanical switch, came into being in 1889 which was the forerunner of the dial system. By the end of last year, he said, 97 per cent of the Cana- dian telephones in the Bell system were dial operated. The dis! he said, not only gave new speed to the calls but also relieved the increasing burden on operators, In recent years, he said, it was found in the larger cities that the convenience of dial service would have to be ex- tended to long distance calls and at the present stage, he said, the whole of North Ameri- ca'is now a vast switchboard network. The continent, he said, is divided into 117 areas, each with a different area code number, The system is so ar- ranged, he said, that no two phones on the continent have the same number. ANTI DIGIT LEAGUE Mr. Beatty said there had been some opposition to the change from exchange names to exchange number and in- deed the Anti Digit Dialing League had been formed. But, he explained, the all-digit system had to be evolved to provide more numerical arrangements. "I think numbers are as easy to remember as exchange names in any event," he said. As a result of the new. ex- change being built, he said, users in Toronto, Hamilton and Montreal can now dial directly to 60 million other telephones without contact with an opera- tor. A call from Toronto to Los Angeles, he said, can be made in 15 seconds by direct dialing. Some 40 years ago, he said, the same call, through operators, took a half-hour. In 1923, such a call cost $9 but now only $2.50. IN TESTING STAGES It is now possible, he said, to transmit 200,000 tele- phone conversations _ simultane- ously through a two-inch pipe, all at different frequencies. Such a system, quite expen- sive, is now being considered between New York and Phila- delphia, In recent years, he said, col- ored telephone sets and the Princess 'phone have been well received. The system is now introducing a push-button set, which is being tried out on Montreal, Such a set was on display for the Kinsmen and Mr. Beatty demonstrated the speed of "dialing" the number wanted. Another innovation, he said, is a rapid dial system, where pre-dialed numbers can _ be reached by a selector. Such a telephone, he said, has consider- able advantages for persons who find it necessary to caLl certain numbers regularly. Mr. Beatty noted that as the system develops, the general public has less and less contact with the Bell employees, prob. ably only seing the repairman once every two years and only speaking to an operator occa- History, Future Of Bell System Told sionally. However, he noted, the firm employs 34,000 persons in Canada and spends $282 mil- lion annually, more than half for wages and salaries. . NEWS ON PAGE 4 Hong Kong Topic At Auxiliary The regular meeting of the Helen Marshall Auxiliary of St. Andrew's Presbyterian church was held Tuesday with the president Mrs. J .Robson pre- siding. The Thanksgiving service of worship as in the Glad Tidings was followed and conducted by Mrs. J. Robson, Miss B. Wilson, Mrs. W. McClure and Mrs, T. D. Wilson- The study books' topic 'Hong Kong'"' was ably dealt with by Mrs. G. Delglish. Hong Kong, densely populated, consists of 240 small islands and while very beautiful is a land of contrasts, wealth and poverty, beauty and squalor, industry and unemploy- ment, education and illiteracy. The rapidly growing popula- tion is swelled by refugees and over + crowding is prevalent. These refugees are an asset bringing in capital, technical skill, reclaiming land, etc. The main industry is the textile industry. Social problems are con- tinually arising, such as popu- lation explosion, unemployment, housing and water shortage, poverty and crime. There is a thirst for education and the church does a great service in the field but cannot handle the fast growing popu- lation and supply sufficient schools and teachers. Different languages present problems. The Christian church's influ- ence is fast growing there are now 300 Protestant congrega- tions and the church is concerned in all human needs, especially those of children and the family. The president closed the meet- ing with prayer and the aux- iliary will next convene in the church hall Nov. 13. ADDITIONAL WHITBY |c!
