'`Understanding Computers"—the fifth of Bell Canada's extensive aid-to-education programs—will help Clinton area secondary school teachers introduce students to "The Computer Age" via a do-it-yourself cardboard computer. AlthoUgh it could never be claimed that it is a perfect look-alike of the real thing, it has most of the equivalent parts of a digital computer. The model; known as CARDIAC (for Cardboard Illustrative Aid to Computations), can be assembled in a matter of minutes. Its equivalent working parts of a real computer include an accumulator, instruction register, memory cells, and input-output system. It also has a repertoire on ten instructions, enabling it to solve some surprisingly difficult problems. The "UnderStand Computers" program is a continuation of Bell Candda's policy of making teaching materials available to students through teachers. Earlies .BelloCanada . science education programs focussed a wave behaviour, solar energy, magnetism, speech synthesis, conductors and semiconductors, and crystal growing. The "Understanding Computers" program is being presented in Ontario to mathematics, science and commercial course teachers, subject co-ordinators, sschool administrators and interested educators generally. They are being introduced to the ADVERTISING IN THE NEWS-RECORD is an INVESTMENT NOT AN EXPENSE , Everybody with a telephone has a special telephone address that is different from any other anywhere. It's the Area Code that makes your number unique. That's why it's so important to check the Area Code before calling Long Distance. If you use the' wrong one you could end up talking to someone hundreds or thousands of miles away from the place you intended to call. If you should get a wrong number on a Long Distance call, dial "0" right away and tell thefOperator what happened. She'll make sure you aren't charged for the call. And if you want to check a Long Distance number, just dial 1, then the Area Code — if it's different from your own — then 555-1212. Here's a little gem of trivia from south of the border. By the end of 1969, 3,000,000,000,000 (that's three trillion) telephone conversations will have been completed in the United States. The total is a tabulation of calls made since 1880 when Alexander Graham Bell first offered telephone service to the public. And speaking of Mr. Bell, I carne across a statement he once made which I think some 'of you might find interesting. He said: "When one door closes another opens but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us." * * * Finally a few Bell Canada facts. Last year we had 5,451,000 phones in service in our operating territory — Ontario, Quebec, Labridor and parts of the Northwest Territories. In the same year, our customers originated some 10 billion local calls and 243 million Long Distance calls. Bell Canada is one of the nation's largest taxpayers and the largest taxpayer in most of the communities in which we operate. More than 97 percent of all our equipment and material is produced in Canada — by ourselves and by some 5,000 other Canadian suppliers. * * * ELL LINES by W.W.HA YSOM your telephone , manager materials through a series of lecture demonstrations being arranged by Bell Canada in towns across the province.
