Local Phone Patrons Will Soon
Be Able To Dial Distant Stations
Preparations are being made for
Direct Distance Dialing to become
effective the latter part of this
year for customers in Dallas Ex-
change, J. N. Landis, District Man-
ager of the Commonwealth Tele-
phone Company, announced today.
Starting at that time, telephone
customers in Dallas will be able
_ to dial long distance calls direct,
except from coin telephones, to
phones as far away as California,
Landis said. He also added that all
numbers calling (ANC) which in-
volves the use of 7 figures rather
than a combination of 2 letters
and 5 figures will be inaugurated
Provo to the direct distance dial
¥ changeover.’ ;
The concept of nation-wide dial-
ing of long distance calls by cus-
tomers was developed by the Amer-
ican Telephone and Telegraph Com-
pany in 1945 and the system was
_, first introduced on an experiment-
al basis in Englewood, N.J., in 1951.
Its success there led to its intro-
duction in other central office areas,
with the Valley office near Pitts-
burgh the first office in Pennsyl-
vania to provide for long distance
dialing by customers in 1953.
Chief advantages of direct dis-
tance dialing are speed and ac-
curacy, the manager stated.
“The average long distance call
required about 14 minutes for com-
pletion in" the early 1920's, with
some callsdaking consider ably, long-
F, RAEI v “rn
“That time has been steadily re-
duced so that nearly all long dis-
tance calls now go while the cal-
ler remains on the line and direct-
, dialed calls go through fastest of
all.’ o
« Before nation-wide DDD could
begin, the United States and Can-
ada were divided into more than
100 areas, and each was assigned
Tele-
phones in Dallas and nearby com-
munities are a part of the number-
ing plan area designed by the
three-figure 717 code! Pottsville,
Harrisburg and Scranton are also
in the 717 code area. There fis no
duplication of individual telephones
within any of the areas. There-
fore, 10 figures uniquely identify
any telephone in the United States
and Canada.
* Calls to telephones in the 717
area, but outside the customer's
local calling area, will first require
dialing the special code 1(one).
This code will route the call to the
direct distance dialing equipment.
Then the customer will dial the
complete telephone number.
For example, to call CEdar 4-
1081 in Harrisburg, ‘the customer
will first dial the special code 1
(one), then the letters C and E and
the figures 4, 1, 0, 8, 1 in that
order.
Calls beyond this area will first
require dialing the special code 1
(one) followed by the three-figure |
area code, then the telephone num-
ber.
For example, to call HEmlock |
5-5803 in Allentown, the customer
will first dial the special code 1
(one(, followed by the three-figure
area code 215 for Allentown and
then H, B..5, 5,8. 0,3.
Immediately after a customer dials
a long distance call, an operator
will come on the line and ask
“Your number please?” The cus-
tomer then gives the number from
which he is calling, Landis said.
Switching plans have been de-
vised to concentrate telephone traf-
fic from smaller exchanges through
larger places somewhat in the same
manner as superhighways and tribu-
tary roads handle vehicular traf-
fic.
A feature of these switching
plans is the alternate routing of
calls which takes place automat-
gpesliywhen the norfiial “#6%tes “are
busy.
Landis also explained that when
the! usual path a call would fol-
low is congested, the - switching
equipment automatically selects an-
other route with a minimum of
delay, actually less than a second.
Automatic message accounting
equipment has also been developed
to insure accurate billing of direct-
dialed calls. This equipment, which
will be’ located in Wilkes-Barre,
will employ perforated tape which
registers the time of the call, the
number dialed and the duration |
of the call, associating this infor-
mation accurately with the num-
ber to be billed.
DDD is one of today’s scientific
miracles and represents a large
investment by Bell and Common-
wealth Telephone Companies. It is
one of many telephone improve- |
ments in this area aimed at en- |
larging the telephone customer’s |
world through service and science. |

Jaw Saturday
Dale Mosier, co-captain and
guard of Dallas High School Bask-
etball team, will probably be out
for the rest of the season as the
result of a broken jaw sustained
Saturday afternoon during a prac-

School Gymnasium.
As he stopped to retrieve a free
ball, Mosier bumped against the
knee of a fellow player. Suspect-
ing a fractured jaw, he immediately
went home and was examined by
Dr. Malcolm Borthwick and had

Fred is still in the recovery room
