"At present", Mr. Haysom said, "a limited version of trans- oceanic dialing is being con- ducted between New York and London and it seems to be working very well". He point- ed out that one of the present problems in the way of com- plete world dialing is the lack of dialstandardization. He ex- plained that in Britain, each number consists of three letters and four digits, that dials in Denmark don't include the let- ter "W", that Russian telephone exchanges use the Slavic alph- abet, and that dials on New Zealand have the numbers in Mr. Haysom said that Direct World Dialing is an extension of Direct Distance Dialing which is in effect in this area and throughout most parts of North America. He cautioned, how- ever, that although world dial- ing will be just a matter of dialing 13 to 15 consecutive digits, long distance charges will still be in effect. nual Meeting ZURICH GUN CLUB e nesday, April 5, 1967 S :30 P.M.

Presentation of the Academy Awards on television annually provides a target for enormous public interest — and specula- tion, and the history of the "Oscar" presentations provides a veritable gold mine of catchy questions. Dull you say? Just take a whack at it. How many performers have been named best actor or best actress twice in a row? I couldn't remem- ber, so I obtaned a list of the awards from 1965 to 1928. Here are a few of the highlights: Ingrid Bergman was named best actress in 1944 for "Gas- light" and again in 1956 for "Anastasia": Olivia de Havilland won the award in 1946 for "To Each His Own", and again in 1949 for "The Heiress". In 1935 Bette Davis. was se- lected for her role in "Danger- ous", and in 1938 for "Jezebel". Luise Rainer picked up the best actor award in 1938 for "The Great Ziegfeld", and the following year for "The Good Earth". Spencer Tracy is the only actor to win the best actor award two years in a row. He did it in 1937 for "Captains Courageous", and in 1938 for "Boys Town". In the history ,of the Oscars there was only one tie, and was for "best actor" in 1932, Fred- erich March and Wallace Beery received the awards for "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde" and "The Champ". The 39th Academy Awards 'presentation will be held on April 10 at 10 p.m. on ABC-TV, with Bob Hope as the master of ceremonies.

On recommendation of the property committee, county council last Monday de- cided to advertise for one. Carl Dalton, Seaforth, chair- man, reported that the commit- tee had made a tour of the jail and had discussed matters with the governor, R. W. Bell. The committee authorized that in future the guard on duty would only be required to punch the clock at station 5 at nine o'clock and three o'clock dur- ing the night hours. This par- ticular clock is located in the basement and it was the feel- ing of the committee .that two calls per night shift would be satisfactory.
