" MONDAY, APRIL 30, 1951 on THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIVE Dial Phone (Continued from Page 1) Michael Starr placed the first long distance call from a special tele- phone in the new exchange. A re- presentative group of Oshawa busi- ness and civic leaders watched Mayor Starr as he dialed "Oper- ator" to get long distance and plac- ed a call to Toronto's Mayor Hiram McCallum. In a few moments, the call was completed, and Mayor McCallum. of Toronto was congratulating Oshawa on the inauguration of its dial tele- phone system. Mayor Starr replied with an expression of gratification that the cut-over had been com- pleted, The two mayors chatted for a moment, and Mayor McCallum volunteered the information that Barrie Fliers had defeated the Que- bec Citadelles by 8 to 3 to win the Eastern Canada Junior Hockey title. - Guests Watched Cut-over A group of some 25 to 30 local business and civic leaders was in attend and watched the final operations of the cut- over. Seated in a small open space in the midst of a mass of intricate equipment, they watched the progress of the op- erations on a model which had been set up for their informa- tion. Acting as narrator, P. W. Gemmell of the Bell Telephone Company staff, explained the various operations of the cut- over, which, he said, required a staff of 65 men to complete. The conversion of dial telephone in Oshawa, he said, marked the culmination of some years of work. While construction of the new dial exchange at the corner of Bond and Victoria Streets had been started in October, 1948, engineers had been planning for the change long before that time. The build- ing had been completed in August, 1950, since when all The mass of equipment for dial operation had been installed by the Northern Electric Company. The signal that all was in readi- ness for the cut-over was passed to the cut-over controller, W. Fen- ton, by George Furness, when tele- phone calling fell to a low ebb some twelve minutes before midnight, Zero Hour of "D" Day Zero hour had come for Oshawa's "D" Day. The controller immedi- ately flashed a signal to H. H. Hill, who was standing by the old frame where lines to every telephone in the city were terminated and con- nected to the manual switchboard. At a signal from Mr. Hill, a group of 16 men, wearing goggles and standing in a line behind the frame, pulled the strings they held in their hands, and almost immedi- ately the air was filled with tiny fuses, two for every telephone in Oshawa. Within seconds, thousands of the fuses littered the floor. Re- moval of the tiny fuses, known as heat coils, and used to protect the equipment from high voltages on the telephone lines, had severed the manual telephone service. As the last fuse fell, Mr. Hill re- ported the manual switchboard dis- connected, and the controller gave the signal for the dial equipment to be put in operation, over a spe- cial telephone line to the dial su- pervisor, B. D, Lorimer, Blocking Picks Cut Out In the dial equipment room another 16 men were station- ed, a few feet apart, in front of the rows of switching equip- ment. They were also holding cords, this time attached to th ds of blocking picks, little insulators which were keeping the dial equipment from functioni As the signal was relayed by Mr. Lorimer to A, 8. Pinn, these men instantly yanked on the cords. The block- ing picks fell to the floor and the dial telephone system began to operate, Meanwhile, the gradual cutting in of Oshawa's new long distance switchboards was being carried. out, under the supervision of F. H. Western, toll and trunk supervisor, assisted by J.K .Gerby, district traf- fic superintendent and F. H. Rob- bins, who checked to see that all went smoothly. It was all over in the 91 second period. Operators pulled out the plugs of their headsets for the last time at the manual exchange in Oshawa, and the familiar "Number please" of the operator gave way to its mechanical counterpart, the hum of the dial tone. Within a short time the clicking of the dial switches announced that some peo- ple were already using the new service. . Inspected Plant Before witnessing the cut-over, the guests at the ceremony made a tour of inspection of the new ex- change building and the old ex- change, and explanations were made as te what would actually happen when the cut-over took place.

During Sunday, most people found occa- sion to "give it a try, but Mr. Gillespie said that public co-oper- ation had been splendid in keep- ing down the number of curiosity calls, especially about the time of the cut-over. He reports this morn- ing that everything was going like clockwork, with traffic flowing smoothly over both the local and the long distance circuits. Scouts (Continued from Page 1) department, assisted the boys in their first qualifications for the Forestry badge. Despite the heavy rains Saturday morning, the teams of Scouts were out early in the afternoon to dig and heel the small trees in. Most of the trees were only two years old. During the planting, Scout leaders and Forestry officials sup- ervised. Willow trees were planted Sunday along both banks of the creek below the concrete dam, which holds back waters to form the lake at Samac. During the last two years, reported by soil experts as the worst years for quite some time for erosion, this creek has carried along with it much earth and silt, and has un- dermined many of its. banks. Forestry officials felt that the wil- lows would slow and possibly halt the rapid rate of erosion in this area. But there was not only work, but also play. Most troops were billetted with other district troops in cabins, and the mixed program included a Saturday night campfire, led by Executive Commissioner Stanley A. Richardson. Sunday afternoon Rev, F, J. Whitely officiated at the Scouts' own church services at the camp- site. Camp leaders for the week-end were Scoutmaster Donald Holloway and Assistant Scoutmaster Ronald Nicolson, who also held the position of Camp Chief. On Sunday morning Wolf Cubs from Oshawa and Port Perry, and Scouts from Toronto came in to finish the job. The final trees were planted in the rain, Local Associa- tion and Scouters supervising at this time. , 400 Instructors In Defence Plans Washington, April 30--(CP) Canada hopes to train 400 key in- structors in the next few months for work in provincial and local civil defence organizations, Canadian Health and Welfare Minister, Paul Martin, said today.
