Electronic Brain Latest Aid
To Wingham Phone Operators
A giant electronic brain which auto
matically routes and connects Wing
ham long distance telephone calls
across the continent went into opera
tion last weekend.
Known technically as “4-A
bar," the equipment is located
Bell Telephone building on Adelaide
Street in the heart of downtown Tor
onto.
Long distance operators in over 40
Canadian centres can now dial calls
direct to telephones in a large number
of towns and cities through Canada
and the United States. Incoming calls
are routed by the equipment to up
wards of 70 exchanges in Canada.
The new installation marks the
first Canadian telephone use of photo-
transitors, devices which change light
energy into electrical energy and
greatly amplify electric signals. About
the size of a cigaret, they can boost
the strength of electric signals 100,000
times, thereby doing the work of larg
er vacuum tubes, but using much less
power.
The Toronto crossbar installation is
a key traffic centre in the long dis
tance dialing network being set up in
the two countries and which will
eventually turn them into one vast
telephone exchange.
The continent-wide plan for direct
distance dialing is being completed by
stages. Another 4A crossbar system is
now being installed”’in Montreal, and
it will act as regional switching centre
for eastern Canada. Regina is to be
the western regional centre.
According to H. H. P. Johnston, Bell
Telephone manager for this region,

Pinkerton- Glahn
An altar arrangement of fern, and
White peonies at the Bervie United
Church was the setting for the wed-
diny of Shirley Bernice, younger dau
ghter of Mr, and Mrs, James Glahn,
Tiverton, formerly of Bervie, and
Maurice Alexander, elder son Of Mrs,
Pinkerton and the late Alexander
Pinkerton of Pinkerton, Ontario. Rev,
F, G. Purchase performed the cere
mony and Mrs. Purchase played the
wedding music.
Given in marriage by her father,
the bride was charming in her baller
ina-length gown of white nylon net
over gleaming satin, designed with
fitted strapless bodice trimmed with
irridescent rhinestones, bouffant skirt
topped by a Chantilly lace jacket
with lily point sleeves and Queen
Anne collar. Her veil, a drift of silk
illusion net, fell from a jewelled coro
net headdress. She carried American
Beauty roses and white carnations.
Miss Irene Glahn, sister of the bride,
as bridesmaid, wore lemon yellow em
broidered nylon tulle. The very full
skirt had a deep flounce of plain tulle,
There was a fitted bodice and brief
bolero with elbow length sleeves. She
carried white carnations and mauve
sweet peas.
John Pinkerton was his brother’s
groomsman.
The reception was at Ardloch Lodge,
Kincardine. The bride’s mother chose
navy with white accessories and pink
and white .carnation corsage. The
groom’s mother wore a navy and
white dress with white accessories and
pink and white carnation corsage.
For the wedding trip to Ottawa and
Montreal the bride wore a powder
blue suit with navy and white acces
sories and a white orchid corsage.
They will live in Kincardine.

"the new switching system is helping
ps to continue improving thespped of
telephone service, to provide it on the
extensive scalp that* is now required
Of us, and to keep the cost low."
The crossbar machine is directly
connected, to 90 Canadian and U. S.
long distance centres, including Wing
ham by 1,500 circuits which had to bp
built or rearranged before it could be
placed in operation.
These machines will eventually be
used to enable telephone users to dial
their own long distance calls just as
they now dial local calls, This stage
is expected to be reached here within
five years. Before it can be introduc
ed, however, the crossbar equipment
must be supplemented by additional
facilities which will automatically re
gister the calling and called telephone
numbers, the dates, time of day and
duration of the call.
Toronto’s crossbar machinery was
years in the .planning stage. Bell tech
nicians in Toronto and 90 other cen
tres worked for two years rearranging
and preparing facilities. The installa
tion job took 180 skilled Northern
Electric craftsmen about a year to
complete. Equipment weighing more
than 225 tons was hoisted 15 storeys
to the top of the building. Installers
used 3,000,000 feet of- wire in making
cross connections.
To^make it possible for the equip
ment ' to route telephone numbers
across the continent in a matter of
seconds, a new and faster method of
transmitting numbers has been devel
oped. Each digit in the number is rep
resented by a pair of musical tones
which the new equipment can receive,
interpret and transmit.
These are “dialed” into the machine
by the operator, and the rest is auto
matic. Arriving at the machines, the
digits are received by a sender which
“remembers” the destination and
number. It forwards the first three
to an
which
routes
cards,
dialed
cally to determine the route, which is
then passed to a marker,
The marker tests available routes—
if the direct one is busy it returns to
the card index for information about
Lots of activity at the <?Qurse those
days. Some evenings this past week
10 to 15 cars were parked at the club
house with many players playing the
preliminary rounds of the club champ
ionship match. Match play is played
by the hole rather than the gross
score as in stroke play. Lower handi
capped players give a certain number
of strokes in eighteen holes of play to
the higher handicapped player. The
number given is determined by taking
80% of the difference between handi
caps.

Language is only one of the difficulties faced
by Canadians who buy and sell in foreign markets
Currencies, exchange and trade regulations—
payments and collections—market information
—locating sales representatives abroad—all call for
prompt, efficient handling over long distances.
The chartered banks are an essential part of this
whole trade picture. Through their foreign
branches, agents and representatives they provide
permanent, on-the-spot contact in commercial
centres aroundlhe world.
Facilitating the flow of international trade
is only part of the work carried on every day
by the chartered banks of Canada. Your local
branch is a convenient banking service-centre
where you can obtain expert help on money
matters large and small.

circuit, advances the call over it to
its destination.
All of these operations take place
within a second or two, and each
mechanism remains in use only long
enough to send signals to the next
switching point, then drops off to
await the next call.

These days most people work under
pressure, worry more, sleep less. This
strain on body and brain makes physical
fitness easier to lose—harder to regain.
Today’s tense living, lowered resistance,
overwork, worry—any of these may affect
normal kidney action. When kidneys get
out of order, excess acids and wastes
remain in the system. Then batkache,
disturbed rest, that “tired-out” heavy-
headed feeling often follow. That’s the
time to take Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Dodd’s
stimulate the kidneys to normal action.
Then you feel better—sleep better—work
better. Ask for Dodd’s Kidney Pills at
any drug counter. *3
