CHANGE TO NEW SEVEN FIGURE DIALING APRIL 29 DEKALB LOSES JOB William Dicker of Wonder Lake, a Democratic precinct committeeman employed at tne state weight station in Richmond, was notified last week that he had been fired from his job. Word came to him Friday from his, commanding officer in Elgin. Seveial state employees have been discussed, reportedly for refusiraf to support thosfe endorsecT by Gov.

New-style, ^even-figure telephone numbers will become a 100 per cent reality in McHenry at 12:01 a.m. Sunday, April 29, it was announced today by Bob Zahn, local Illinois Bell manager. For McHenry customers with EV telephone numbers, the change will constitute a conversion of their present two-letter prefix to its numerical equivalent. For example EV becomes 38. The change to seven-figure numbers is part of a gradual nation-wide shift to this new system, called "All-Number Calling or ANC for short." It is being adopted because telephone growth is exhausting usable telephone exchange names, such as EVergreen now in use in McHenry. In addition to arriving in McHenry, the new-style numbers also will lie introduced in Harvard and Marengo and for those customers in Woodstock who now have letter-figure telephone numbers. The sevenfigure numbers were introduced in Crystal Lake and Union in 1960. " Carol Lehman, Illinois Bell's dial service rhter in this area, explained that since letters appear in only eight of the ten holes on the dial and since some two-letter combinations don't form word beginnings, the telephone company is limited to 540 exchange names. "Even if we used those that don't make word beginnings, we'd only add thirty-six more combinations," Miss Lehman said. "By using all numbers and thus relying on each of th6 10 dial stops, the number of available two-digit combinations increases to about 800," she continued. The conversion to sevenfigure numbers also has other c u s t o m e r a d v a n t a g e s , Z a h n pointed out. These include the eventual removal of lettei's from dials; elimination of confusion surrounding spelling and p r o n u n c i a t i o n o f e x c h a n g e names; and the introduction of a generally-recognized system that could be used with the advent of international dialing. Post 491 Next Thursday, April 19, is the 187th anniversary of Paul Revere s ride. Because of this o u r n a t i o n a l c o m m a n d e r , Charles L.
