Latest Long HSKI
Distance Dial
System Starts
The initial phase of Southern
BeU'i long unge program to eon- 1
vert all of Its North Carolina ex
change* to a system that enables
telephone men to dial long dist- ,
race ealli direct, will bo ioaugu
reted at 2 a. m., June I, in Salis
tmrr.
Salisbury if the first Southern
Bell exchange In North Carolina, |
and one of the first cities in the
Sooth, to get the new service. :
Telephone users there will be
able to dial direct, without the aid
of a long distance operator, mil
lions of telephones throughout
North Carolina, across the nation,
and to points in Canada, Alaska,
and Hawaii, almost as ?uily as
they call their next door neighbor.
The new telephone system is
known as Direct Distance Dialing.
<4 DDD. Through the use of com
plex telephone switching equip
ment and automatic accounting
machines, DDD automatically
routes the call to the proper tele
phone, times the call electronic
ally, and records other necessary
information.
The DDD equipment can handle
hundreds of long distance calls
simultaneously.
Telephone operators will con
tinue to handle all long distance
calls other than station-to-station
calls.
Direct Distance Dialing was de
veloped to help carry the steadily
increasing volume of long distance
calls. Last year( alone, the Bell
Telephone . System handled about
three billion long distance calla.
DDD, after much research by
Bell Telephone Laboratories, was
first put into service in Engle
wood, N. J., in 1991 on an experi
mental basis. It proved to be
highly populsr with the public,
and has since been put into ser
vice in a number of cities through
out the nation.

Paul said to Mr. Ed:
GOOD REMEDY
A beautiful young lady in the waiting room of an airport
was crying steadily.
Seeing her t*an, a young man came over and tried to
soothe her. He put a strong, comforting arm around her and
talked kindly to her. When she continued to weep, he squeezed
her tighter.
"Isn't there anything I can do," he asked, "to make yon
stop crying?"
"I'm afraid not," the girl sobbed. "It's hay ferer But please
keep on trying."
