New stuff from the Bell Fast new equipment costing Bell Canada over $2 million will go into operation in Port Perry this June to meet increasing demand for operator-assisted long distance calling. Orma Lyttle, Bell's 'section manager here, said the new equipment will allow phone users to dial their own person-to- person, collect, calling card and third number billing calls with re- duced assistance from the operator. It will also enable customers in most locations to dial their own overseas calls to many foreign countries. cA FOR YOUR COMPLETE CAR CARE SERVICE Scugog Oil Undercoating Service at 985-9569 The new system, designed by Bell- Northern in Ottawa, is in use in Toronto, Ottawa, Kingston, New- market and many other locations. Instead of having the ~ operator place the call, the new system allows the caller to dial the 'number. While auto- mated equipment routes the call, the operator will arrange the billing or person-to-person details. Detailed publicity plans are being deve- loped to smooth the transition to customer- dialing of overseas and domestic operator- assisted calls. -- Oil Undercoating We do -- Car Washing -- Interior Shampoo -- Wax Treatment MODERN TEXTILES 203 QUEEN STREET - PORT PERRY 985-3221 WALL - CEILING - VANITY - FULL LENGTH - - CLOSET MIRRORS - FREE - No Obligation - tSTIMATE SCUGOG GLASS & MIRROR Lakeview Plaza (Hwy. 7A & Water St.) - Port Perry 985-2844 SRS f TI ee y rl A WF .
