Or, if a customer prefers to drop into our business office we can complete the form then and there," Mr. Turnham said. Other calîs to Directory Assistance that will be exèmpt fromn charges include those placed from pay phones, from hospital, hotel or motel rooms and emer- gency calîs. There is also no charge for long distance di- rectory assistance service. Introduction of the charge was requested by Bell Canada in light of the increasing volume of unnecessary calîs -to Directory Assistance. 0f the close to 700,000 calîs placed each day, com- pany-wide, more than 70 per cent. are for numbers already isted in the telephone book. Studies also show that 10 per cent of all customers place more than 50 per cent of the unnecessary calîs. As now devised, those who make unnecessary use of Directory Assistance will bear the cost of supplying this Trhought ForFoodl personalized- service. in addition, Bell Canada will be able- to provide better Directory Assistance service for callers requesting num- bers flot in the telephone book as well as for those customners who prefer to use the service instead of looking in -the book.
