M4'"' "4 A 'W GEAUGA RECORD The Notre Dame Education al Center in Geauga County near Chardon will be expand ed under a long-range devel opment program planned by the Sisters of Notre Dame of the Cleveland Province, it was announced this week. The Sisters are beginning their 88th year of teaching in the schools of the Diocese of Cleveland. During this exten sive period of service no con certed appeal for help has ever been made by the order. Underscoring the need for adequate facilities for carry ing on the spiritual and pro fessional formation of future teachers, Mother Mar Elise explained further that the Ed ucational Center is also the home for the retired teachers of the order. She emphasized the desirability of this ar rangement where student sis ters associate daily with vet eran teachers and share the wealth of their experience and the inspiration of their example. According to present plans, the aspirants, postulants and novices, who now live in crowded quarters at Notre Dame Academy, Ansel Road, Cleveland, will be transferr ed to the Educational Center late next fall. Their academ ic training will continue both there and at Notre Dame Col lege or St. John College in Cleveland. When the transfer- ral takes place, there will be approximately 350 sisters liv ing at the new Educational Center. Mother Mary Elise and her assistants are taking steps now to provide a new chapel for the needs of the growing community. It will serve both for the private and liturgical devotions of the sisters and for such public religious func tions as the annual clothing and profession ceremonies.

Mother Mary Elise has set the theme for the Develop ment Fund Campaign on the increasing need for sisters in Chardon Phones to Change to All Number Listings starting November 1. Under a plan known as All Number Calling, generally referred to as A N C. the letters are drop ped from telephone numbers and only numerals used. For example, the telephone com pany number AV 6-7117 will appear as 286-7117. Theodore H. Case, president, in making the announcement said that the all number numbers will be given only to new install ations, telephones moved to new addresses and telephones requiring number changes for any reason. He indicated that it would be considerable time before the plan is in operation for all customers. Mr. Case said that All num ber Calling is not a whim of the telephone indutry but is based on an actual need to make available additional us able telephone prefix com binations. The telephone sys tem of the country is growing so fast, he pointed out, that engineers estimate that by 1970 there will no longer be numbers to assign to new customers. The elimination of letters in telephone numbers will increase by almost 50 percent the quantity of tele phone numbers possible with seven turns of the dial. Not only is the all number system necessary with the growth of nation-wide direct distance dialing, but is more compatible with the number ing system of many foreign countries and Mr. Case fore sees the day when we will be dialing foreign lands as easily as we do our next door neigh bor. Mr. Case does not think cus tomers will have any dif ficulty with the all number telephone numbers. He sug gests that the number be con the parishes of the Diocese of Cleveland. She stated specifi cally that “a major consider- ation in the decision to ask parish cooperation in our campaign was that it would be a means for the individual parishes to assist in provid ing for their own require ments in the matter of addi tional teachers for the future.” She pointed out that “the principal objective of the Development Program is to encourage vocations.” LeRoy G. Wright, of Char don. has been named Consul tant of the Development Pro gram by Mother Mary Elise. sidered in two blocks with three numerals in the first and four in the second. For example, take the telephone company’s number 286-7117. Just think of the number in the combinations: first 286, then 7117, he said. Mr. Case suggests that cus tomers, who order printed matter bearing their tele phone numbers in sufficient quantity for a long period considei their requirements carefully so as not to have a supply on hand when A N is in effect all over the ter ritory. Customers will be kept in formed of the progress of the A N plan and will be given clear cut instructions on its use. PTA Plans Spaghetti Supper The combined P.T.A.’s of Chardon high school and Chardon elementary schools will hold their annual spag hetti supper on Tuesday, Oct. 17 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the high school cafeteria.
