operator. The old manual
switchboard will cease opera-
tion, being replaced by dial
switching equipment.
All telephone numbers in
Wingham will be changed,
Each telephone user will have
a unique seven -figure number
made up of the prefix 351 and
four other figures.
The changeover will be
made with virtually no inter-
ruption in telephone service.
Early Sunday morning was cho-
sen as the appropriate time be-
cause normally there are few
telephone conversations inpro-
gress at that time. Further-
more, every long distancetele-
phone centre in North America
has been alerted that Wingham
will be changed to dial opera-
tion at that time, so that calls
destined for persons here will
be routed properly.
The actual "cutover" will
be made according to aclosely
coordinated procedure, requir-
ing split-second timing, to
make sure that the period when
the telephones in the commun-
ity are "dead" is kept to a
minimum.
At a,signal given whencal-
ling has reached a low ebb, a
team of men wearing goggles
will go into action at the old
manual exchange to disconnect
all the lines to the old switch-
board.
The goggles are necessary
because of the method of dis-
connection: tapes are strung
behind the heat coils — little
fuses that protect subscribers'
lines from high voltage — so
that the fuses can be ripped out
by the thousands. This opera-
tion requires about 30 seconds.
As soon as the old exchange
is "dead", signals will be giv-
en over a special telephone

line to the new exchange,
where another crew will be
standing in readiness to remove
the "blocking tools" from the
dial switching equipment.
These tools, which are used to
prevent the dial crossbar
switches from working while
the manual exchange is still in
operation, are also attached to
cords, so that they can beyank-
ed out in a few seconds.
Once the blocking tools are
pulled out, the dial system
will be in operation. As the
first callers dial, the dial
switches will begin to click,
connecting telephone calls in
the Wingham exchange.
Do you mow Mr. Herb. Hotson?
There's a good chance that you do. He lives and
works right here. He gets around quite a lot and he
knows this town very well. That's part of his job.
He's the manager of your local branch of
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. And he's
a good man to know. For help with financial mat-
ters or for sound advice, on anything to do with
banking, he's the man to see.
If you haven't already met him, by all means
call in soon. He'll be glad to see you.

CALLAN SHOES
We've got 40 horses that run
The Volkswagen will cruise all clay at 72
miles per hour.
In the city, and on the highway, it
averages 38 miles to a gallon of gas.
What's the secret? How does the
Volkswagen do so much for so little?
We wish we had a good, simple answer.
Instead, there are a lot of reasons that
explain the VW's amazing performance.
To begin with, the Volkswagen is lighter
than conventional cars. Not only because
it's compact, but because of the way it's
designed.
on chicken feed
For example: there is no radiator or
plumbing. (We use air instead of water to
cool the engine.)
The Volkswagen has no long, heavy
drive shaft that runs from the front of the
car to the back. The VW engine is in the
rear where it gives direct power to the
drive wheels. The weight of the engine
provides better traction on ice and snow.
And the engine weighs less because it's
made with magnesium. (Magnesium is one
of the many products we buy in Canada.)
Take a look at the front of the car and
you'll see how we've reduced wind
resistance. Instead of a flat grill, like the
bow of a barge, the Volkswagen is
streamlined.
Enough talk. Your Volkswagen dealer
has 40 horses all saddled up and ready
for a test ride. (Don't be afraid to go for a
good run. It costs us chicken feed.)
