Directory assistance
If you can't be bothered
looking up a telephone number
and take the easy way out by
asking information you can
expect a bill for the service
after February 9, 1975.
Bell Telephone has instigated`
a new charge for thedirectory
assistance service for those
customers that use it so they do
not have to go through the
bother of getting out the tele-
phone book.
The charge is 25 cents per
telephone number given that is
listed in the telephone directory
The charge will be added to
the monthly bill only if the res-
ident customer requests more
than three numbers in a month
that are listed in his or her
telephone book.
The move was made by Bell
to cut down the increasingly
high volume of unnecessary
calls. Directory Assistance oper-
ators handled more than 220
million calls in 1973, 70 per-
cent of which were listed in the
phone book. The company
hopes to provide a quality assist-
ance service for those custom-
ers who need it for numbers not
listed in the book or for those
who prefer the operator to look
up the number for them.
By charging individual custom
ers on their use of the service
the Company hopcs to have the
customers who use the service
the most, hear the brunt of the
expenses. Surveys done indicate
that about 50 percent of the
calls to directory assistance
are made by only 10 percent of
the customers.
Not all calls to the operator
will cost you money. The first
three a month are free as well
as calls about numbers not list-
ed in the directory, calls from
hospital, hotel or motel rooms
and emergency calls.
People calling directory
assistance from a pay phone
will not be charged nor will
calls made about long distance
numbers that are not listed, be
charged.
People with physical or men-
tal handicaps will be exempt
from the minor charge. Senior
citizens over the age of 65 will
also be granted free service.
Bell has worked with federal
and provincial agencies to work

KINSMEN ENTERTAIN SENIORS — The Hensall Kinsmen took area senior citizens on a bus tour of South
Huron Wednesday night. Above, Kin John Kassies left and president Roy Bell right chat with seniors Wilbert
Dilling, Margaret Hess and Henry Adkins. T -A photo,
out a method of providing
directory assistance to the old
or handicapped who may not
be able to use the telephone
directory easily.
Most organizations that assist
the handicapped and elderly
have a supply of special exeutp-
-•-tie' (�' *At
tion fortes for their members.
Bell business offices have a
supply of the forms as well and
any customer eligible for the
exemption may call one of these
organizations or their local Bell
office to have an excerption
form trailed out to therm.
if your phone bill in March
has an extra charge for direct-
ory assistance on it, don't get
angry; because after all it
probably is a charge that should
never have appeared there had
you kept your telephone book
Itandy...and used it.
