Petition Against Increase In Bus Fare Is Suggested ® * Startling Advances In Phone Equipment Explained to Pupils New methods have been devised by telephone engineers to provide faster and more efficient long distance telephone service, Harry J. Smith, Bell Telephone repre- sentative, told students of the Central Collegiate Institute and the Oshawa Collegiate and Voca- tional Institute yesterday. In an address entitled "The Ma- gic of Numbers," the speaker said a new telephone numbering sys- tem, now in use in several larger centres in the Bell Company's Ontario-Quebec territory, was part of the answer to one of the most remarkable developments since the invention of the telephone-con- tinent-wide toll dialing. STARTLING ADVANCES This new development in mod- ern telephony has brought about startling advances in telephone equipment, and a universal tele- phone numbering system has been devised so that all large centres and many small ones will fit into the continent-wide network. You will still place your call with the long distance operator he said, "but she will dial your party directly from her switch- board. From heréthe equipment takes over, instantly selecting the proper route, sometimes by-pass- ing cities, and where direct lines are busy, automatically selecting alternative routes. Your long distance operator will be the only operator involved; the equipment itself does the rest. Moreover, your call will be completed so rapidly that you will reach Van- couver in the time it takes to call a local number." Illustrating the operation of continept-wide toll dialing by means of energized demonstration equipment, Mr. Smith said one of the methods used in speeding up long distance service is called "key pulsing." With the key puls- -ing unit, the operator's dial is re- placed by a series of buttons that can be operated with many times the speed of the dial. Mr. Smith demonstrated an even further development in key puls- ing. The new unit, instead of sending out a series of clicks as many key pulsing units do, sends out musical tones. "There is more than one advan- tage in using tones rather than clicks," the speaker said. 'For one thing, a tone can be sent faster than a series of clicks. But, above all, musical tones tra- vel perfectly over long distance lines and through long distance equipment which is expressly de- signed to operate within the range of the human voice.' EXPLAINS DIAL OPERATION Mr. Smith explained in detail how complex dial equipment works. Using a miniature house, telephone poles and dial exchange, he also illustrated how the tele- phone is linked to the local dial exchange, and how these ex- changes, multiplied by the score, are tied together in networks that enable a call from town to town, ¢ity to city, across the continent and around the world. "We still have a long way to go. As we look into the future we can prophecy other remarkable de- | velopments and most of these will | be made possible by the magic of | numbers. | Mr. Smith was scheduled to de-| liver the same talk to students of Whitby High School this afternoon. Official From Pakistan Is Club Speaker The speaker at the November dinner meeting of the Canadian Club of Ontario County, to be held at the Ontario Ladies College in. MOHAMMED ALI Whitby, on Monday night next, will be His Excellency Mohammed Ali, High Commissioner for Pakis- tan in Canada. His Excellency will speak on "Seme Pakistan Troubles", which will be most interesting at this time. His Excellency was to have spoken at the October Dinner meeting but owing to the assassination of the Premier of Pakistan all diplomatic offices were closed and social en- gagements cancelled for a period of mourning. His good wife will accom- pany His Excellency on his trip to Oshawa. > Mohammed Ali graduated from Presidency College, Calcutta, ' and entered politics in 1937 .and was elected a member of the Bengal Legislative Assembly in 1941.

"Loves Children" Would Adopt 13 Orphans Pittsburg (AP) -- Mrs. John Babb sees nothing unusua! about wanting to adopt 11 youngsters orphaned in a Michigan automo- bile crash. The 41 - year - old mother of three children said Tuesday in a matter-of-fact tone: "I love children. I'm happiest with lots of them round." Taking time out from the family ironing in her luxurious red' brick home, the dark - haired matron added: "There are bound to be prob- lems if we win custody. In that case, however, we'll cope with them. "We want all the children. We want to keep them together in our home." Wife of a well - to - do insurance broker, Mrs. Babb has done every- thing but diagram the last inch of breathing space to accomodate her "expected" brood. She confi- dently sald: "There are four baths, too." And the den over the garage can be turned into additional sleeping quarters." Many others are anxious to open their hearts and homes to the Moore ' youngsters of Leonard, Mich., since the tragic accident Saturday, which killed theirpar- ents and four teen - agers. The orphans are being cared for temporarily by their two grand mothers.

DRY SPOTS Ice-free valleys and hills and un- Strong Protest Is Labor the Municipal Board hearing re- cently when on behalf of labor he opposed an application by Oshawa Railway Company to push up fares. Reporting to the Council last night he said that information extracted | from the Railway Comany's audit- ors at the hearing showed just how a subsidiary company could be "milked 'dry" so that its financial statement appeared to be in the red. One example of that was the fact that the CNR advanced money for the purchase of buses at an in- terest rate of five per cent. The buses were paid for in five years yet they were operated for as long as 12 years. In 1950 each of the 29 buses carried 171,700 passen- gers, The financial statement of the company showed that for the last three fiscal years and for the first six months of this year it operated at a loss. Yet no reference was made to the company's shunter service which Mr. Fenwick said was thought to be a paying propo- sition. The shunter service was a separate financial item. Another aspect of the situation was that the city maintained the streets and paid to fill in the pot- | frozen | graphed in the coastal region of the | Antarctic continent. lakes have been photo- | holes the company made.

Mr. Fenwick ®id-he had asked why, if the service was so ul-» profitable, the CNR did not give it> up and let the city run it. There had been no-answer to that. "I hazard a prediction that the bus fares will go up unless the. people who ride on the buses raise a storm of protest and make the city father make the company pay for the services the city, through' its taxpayers, provides", The Labor Council is to draft a petition which will ask the Oshawa Railway Company, in a new agree-- ment, to pay for the services it receives from the city. One of the most effective aids. to public health is education of the public through radio, news- papers and magazines, pamphlets, films and clinics. National, pro- vincial and local health depart- ments provide this free informa- tion in order that the public may learn how to avoid contagion, practise hygiene and sanitation, and improve child training. Im addition, advice on nutrition for children and adults is distributed to those requesting it. : In olden times Friday was sace red to Freya, the Scandinavian goddess of marriage, and fish was her special emblem.
