—Central Press Canadian
At a press reception in Toronto, Col, M. C. G. Meighen,
national chairman of the Stratford permanent theatre fund, liter-
ally "raised the roof" to show Betty Grimley two tiers of seats
surrounding a tiny 40-foot stage, authentic from the daYS of
Shakespeare. Model of new Stratford theatre was unveiled in con-
junction with launching of national campaign to raise $984,000
to build permanent "structure at Stratford, Ont. The new theatre,
which will replace the tent now housing the Shakespearean pro-
duction, is scheduled for completion in time for the 1957 season,
To be erected on the same site, the steel frame structure will pre-
serve the tent atmosphere. • Basic design of the auditorium and
stage will remain the same as will the seating capacity—with the
addition of a balcony closely overlooking the stage.

Under the new system all tele-
phone numbers will consist of the
finst two letters of an exchange
name plus en exchange numeral
and four other figures, The ex-
change prefix in Clinton will be

The new numbering system is
better designed to allow for the
continuing expansion of the tele-

a uniform numbering plan—grad-

manager for this region, said this
week.
In Clinton it will be sufficient
to dial only the final four figures
to make local calls. However, Mr.
Haysom pointed out, it will be im-
parta.nt to use the complete num-
ber -when using long distance ser-
vice or on letterheads, signs, ve-
hicles or advertising material
Where the telephone number nor-
nxaily appears. The new numbers
*Jr all be listed in a supplement
to the telephone directory which
Ntral, be.issued sherrtly before the
CUtoVer. •
The uniform numbering plan is
an integral part of an important
new advance in long distance ser-
vice, whith enables operators to
dial: direct to telephones in distant•
centres without the assistance of
any other operators along the
way.
This remarkable advance in long
distance service is known as oper-
ator distance dialing. Many long
distance calls in the Bell Tele-
phone's Ontario-Quebec territory
are now completed by this faster
method and its use is beinefurth-
er widened as the necessary swit-
ching equipment and other facili-
ties are installed in more and
More centres. Eventually it will
include all Canadian and United
States telephones and customers
themselves will be ,.able to dial
many of their own long distance
calls.
Business firms inn Canada paid
$1,154,000,000 in corporation" in-
come taxes in 1954, a sum equal to
nearly half of all corporation pro-
fits that year.

The Editor,

Clinton, Ontario,
Dear Sir: -,
I notice an article is being cir-
ulated from the Ontario Hog Co-
operative that reads as follows:
Attention — Hog Producers
You will note the enclosed
cheque carries a place,where your
signature is an application for
arientberthip in the Ontario Hog
Producers' Co-operative as well
as 'endorsement for a payment of
the cheque.
Membership 'involves no finan-
cial obligation:
This' is ,the start of the Hog
Co-op campaign to build up mem-
bership. They put an application
form on the back of your hog
cheque and hope you will sign it.
You don't have, to sign it to col-
lect your cheque, and don't sign it
unless you support the Co-op and
intend to be a member.
A money cheque is freely used
for the transfer of money from
one' account to another. This plan
to use a signature on a cheque to
gain members is outside the con-
fines of their consitutional_bylaws
as set up at Guelph last 'spring
when they became' a co-operative.
And don't forget the reference
to the Supreme Court of Canada
on marketing legislation—which is
coming up on April 24.

Because of the continent-wide
'nature of the distance dialing
plan, exchange names must be
easily understood, pronounced and
spelled by operators and telephone
users in every part of Canada and
the United States, It would be a
serious disadvantage, for instance,
if 'the English and French .pron-
=elation were notably different,
or if the names were subject to
distorted pronunciation when
spoken by residents of different
sections of the continent. Tech-
nical requirements further restrict
the choice 'of names that may be
used in a given centre.
In order to achieve as much un-
iformity as possible, a suggested
list of 300 exchange names has
been drawn up by telephone corn-
