Mrs. E. M. Culp, a director of the association, said a 10 per cent attendance increase is anticipated at the three-day tourney which starts Oct. 28.

Mr, Burt was speaking at the United Action for Clear Water conference jointly spon- sored by the United Auto Work- ers and the Oshawa and Dis- trict Labor Council. His appeal .was directed to both Prime Minister Pearson and Ontario's Premier John Robarts. Both he said, should make solid statements backing the fight to clean up the lakes and their tributaries. "Every time the Prime Mi- nister opens his office window in Ottawa," he said, "he gets a good whiff of the Ottawa River. "Ontario's Premier Robarts drives down the Don Valley Expressway every morning to get to work. The Parkway is an open sewer." SAFEGUARD "Did you know," he said, "that the Thames River in On- tario is a lot dirtier than the River Thames in England. This is because the English took safeguards." Mr. Burt said he remember- ed fondly the days when one could fish for trout in To- ronto's Don, Credit and Humb- er rivers. J "Not anymore," he said. 'The fish have disappeared from these rivers." Dr. Albert E. Berry, con- sultant with the Great Lakes Institute, warned that "'there is an awidl io of inaccurate in- formation spread around on water pollution. He quoted the example of one university professor who had stood up on a platform and said tht the streams and rivers in Ontario are all open sewers. Dr. Berry said he had writ- ten to the professor and asked het to send him more informa- tion. She wrote back and said she had none, "'but they are sewers, aren't they." "Once," he said, "'there was a complete lack of interest in water pollution. People didn't re. "Now," he said, "it is dif- ferent. This conference is an lin. example of this.

We can go far". i" He warned, however, of the expense of cleaning up the Great Lakes and their tributaries. . . This. is why, he said, it will be a long, slow process, ' CO-OPERATION ' Dr. James Vance, chairman of the Ontario Water Resoure ses Commission, also spoke on the subject of the cost of cleans : ing up Ontario's waterways. <« "But industry," he said, "re: cognizes the problem and it is co-operating. Occasionally, course, we have to prosecute. But generally the industries are helping us in the fight: In the last few years industry has spent some $110,000,000 on the prevention of water pollu- tion. "The Great Lakes and their tributaries can be brought back from their present state of pol- lution. Perhaps never to the state they were 100 years ago, but very close to it. "We have to tackle the prob- lem now. If we let it go too far then it becomes wneconom- ic to bother to clean up the water. "Some years ago I was ap- alled at the lack of interest people took in the water pollu- tion problem. 'Now it different and we must ali work together to achiever the clear water aim. : Lee Townsend, a director of the Lake Ontario Program Of- fice (U.S. department of the interior) brough details of the - American side of the problem.

Although the switch-over from manual operation relieves many duties of the operators they will still be needed to pro- vide assistance to callers. How does DDD work and why # caller to dial directly, without an operator, to any point in the continent -which also has the DDD system. A brochure mailed cus tomers by Bell Telephone says the system 'is made possible by the development of special Switching equipment and by dividing North America into dialing .arezs, each identified by a three-digit number that is not duplicated anywhere in the network," In other words, the continent is cut up-into divisions; each. of which has its own identifying code, The "area code" for Osh« north and as far south as. Lake Erie, just west of Welland DIAL "1" | Within this area code region the Oshawa caller does not have to dial his area code number (416) he simply dials the num- ber he is calling preceded by the digit "1." If he wishes to place a call out of the area code region he must first dial "1," then the area code number of the place he is calling (found at the front of the phone book), followed by the number he is calling. The Bell brochure notes: "It , is not necessary te dial "1" where no long distance charges apply." Occasionally an operator's voice might cut in after dialing: "Your number please?" In that event give her the full seven digits of the number of the telephone used to make the call. If you don't know the number you wish to call dial zero and ask the Long Distance operator to connect you with "informa tion" at the distant point. The information operator will give you the number, And it doesn't cost anything to talk to her, HITCHES The telephone company warns of other possible hitches in the new system: --If you reach a wrong num- ber dial "0" right away and tell the operator what happened She'll arrange a credit to can cel the charge for the call; --In case of any other diffi- culty, dial "0" and ask the operator for assistance; --If the number is busy or doesn't answer or if you hang up before you finish dialing, you won't be charged, patron must still call the long distance operator. If you are calling a centre not served with DDD you must go through the operator. Other cases: collect calls, person-to-person, credit card calls or calls to be billed to another telephone, calls from hotels and motels and calls from coin booths. 58,900 BELLS Bell says there are 58,900 telephones in the Oshawa area which means, of course, many more users. re "and Operator Number Identifi- cation. All persons under ONT, which includes all the above men- tioned centres, save a majority in Oshawa, will encounter an operator when they telephone using DDD. The operator in- terrupts briefly to ask for the originating number (your num- ber). However, those persons in Oshawa with individual or two- party lines (ANI) can dial DDD without interruption The ONI system is expected eventually to be phased into the ANI
