Thompson-Montville
Get Direct Dialing
When Thompson and Mont
ville customers of The Char
don Telephone Company
wake up Sunday morning
they can go to their telephon
es and dial station-to-station
long distance calls to more
Wan 70.000.000 telephones in
hYl parts of continental Unit
ed States and a few areas in
Canada. At 12:01 A M.. Sun
day, Feb. 4. Direct Distance
Dialing will be made avail
able to the two communities.
Chardon customers have used
this fast service since Janu
ary, 1960.
Theodore H. Case. presid
ent, says the special equip
ment has been fully tested
and that the service will start
without a hitch. He does not
expect Thomspon and Mont
ville customers to have anv
difficulty dialing their own
calls as the revised Blue Book
of Telephone Numbers which
was mailed to all customers
tells all the steps. The Feb
ruary, 1962 telephone direct
ory gave full directions as
well.
Direct Distance calls from
Thompson and Montville will
be handled in a slightly differ
manner than those from
Chardon. Dialers in the two
communities will reach the
DD equipment by first dial
ing the numeral 1 instead of
the numerals 12 as do Char
don customers. Also they will
not dial the circled number on
their telephone after dialing
the access code, Mr. Case
pointed out but will proceed
to dial the distant number.
When they have finished dial-”

ing an operator will come on
the line and ask their own
telephone number. On calls to
their home area they will op-’
erate their dials eight times
while Chardon callers must
make ten turns. In calls out
side the Home Area an area
code of three numerals must
be dialed. In all cases this is
dialed just before the distant
telephone number.
Mr. Case calls attention to
the fact that customers will
encounter two types of tele
phone numbers, those which
are made up of two letters
and five numerals and those
made up of seven numerals.
The latter type number is
gradually appearing in the
Chardon company territnrv
as it is over the country. This
system is known as All Num
ber Calling A N and the
all numeral numbers are be
ing given in the Chardon ter
ritory to all new installations,
to telephones moved to new
locations or for number
changes for any special rea
sons. Some of the all num
eral numbers appear in the
new Chardon telephone direc
tory. Mr. Case says that all
of the territory will have sev
en figure dialing within a
year.
Chardon has been making
full use of Direct Distance
Dialing approximately 8 0.
percent of the calls are dialed
by the customers themselves.
The long distance habit is
growing in Chardon, as indic
ated by the fact that each
year the number of calls
shows an increase.

Disease Threatens
Geauga Maple Trees
A disease known as pyrenchasta threatens Gea
uga County maple trees.
While on a tour last year in New York and Penn
sylvania, Tine Johnson, Geauga resident state forester,
learned that the disease is attacking maple trees in
those states.
Mr. Johnson forwarded samples from Geauga trees
to scientists for investigation. lie received reports that
the disease was found in the samples.
Mr. Johnson, who is vice president of Geauga Map
’e Festival, brought news of the threat to the directors.
He emphasized something should be done before the
iisease begins to make large inroads into the success of
Geauga’s large maple industry.
The festival directors assured Mr. Johnson of their
backing and gave him the “green light” to move in
their behalf.
He wrote letters to Senators Frank Lausche and
Stephen Young, and Congressman Robert Cook, Mich
ael Kirwan and Michael Feighan, calling their attention
I to the seriousness of the local situation.
i
He received replies from Senators Lausche anti
Young, and Congressman Cook. They have alerted the
Secretary of Agriculture.
They assured Mr. Johnson that a thorough study
should be launched and they would do all in their power
toward blocking further inroads of the disease.
Pennsylvania was granted $1,000 for use by its for
estry service relative to blocking the disease.
“If Ohio could come up with financing and go all
out for matching funds, the Geauga industry can be
saved,” said Mr. Johnson.
“The Forestry Biological Station in Delaware has
been alerted and is interested in Geauga’s plight. It has
I samples of Geauga trees. Two pathologists of North
east Forestry and Experiment Station near Philadelphia
land Penn State University are acquainted with the* lo
cal situation.” he said.
