Tooley: "1 don't think it's

What .about the car travelling

Fisher: "As it stands now,
he can follow them andmake

Bailey: "Then if you're driv

Pooley: "There are police

Seven -figure telephone num-
bers will be introduced in Cen•
tral.ia Nov. 7, W. W. Haysom,
Bell Telephone manager for
this area, said this week.
1. "Introduction of the new me-
thod of displaying
numbers
will not mean an atual change
dialing since the letter A
nd C in the ACademy num-
ers will simply be replaced
y the corresponding numbers
n the telephone dial, 22," Mr.
aysom said, "When the
hinge takes place,.the pre-
ent ACademy 8-1234 number,
or instance, would become
28-1234,"
In all cases, the three digit
ode, 228, will be followed by
he same four numerals used
nn the present telephone inn-
er.
"The change to seven .figure
numbers is being made under
the All Number Calling plan
ANC), which will eventually
embrace most telephones in
Canada and•the United States,"
lIr. Haysom continued. ANC
Hakes more .numbers avail-
able than does the present plan
nvolving letters and figures,
Mr. Haysoin pointed otit
hat under the two -letter, five-
igure numbering system such
as is in effect here now, eer-
fain letter combinations can-
ot be used'to form exchange
names as they will not form
words. The combination XX is
a good example, Under the
seven -figure system of num-
bering, this difficulty is
avoided, thus making many
more telephone numbers avail-
able for use in Canada and the
United States,
Mr. Haysom explained that
with the gradual build ftp of
the Direct, Distance Dialing
network in. Canada and the
allowing telephone Users
to dial their own long distance
calls, the. two nations are:be-
