Downtown Firms
Plan to Close
On Labor Day
Most stores in the downtown
area of Carrollton will be closed
on Labor Day, it was decided at a
Wednesday morning meeting of
The Carrollton Downtown Business
Association.
It is expected that a few serv-
ice stations will be open along
with the newspaper office.
At the meeting, presided over
by association president Marvin
Hancock, the downtown mer-
chants discussed ways and means
of improving the downtown city
area.
It was suggested that commit-
tees concentrate on the placing of
shrubbery and trees in various
areas, and to approach merchants
facing or backing up to the ex-
pressway. The parking situation
was also discussed.
A number of committee reports
were heard with Mr. Hancock
making a Chamber of Commerce
report in regards to a member-
ship drive and brochures.
Publisher Nick Sindik made a
report on the proposed Toll Road
extension to Belt Line Road and
said the project was gaining in
support. He said, however, he
didn’t know where the proposed
extension of the Tollway would tie
into the Outer Loop.
Mr. Hancock also made a report
on the association’s check warn-
ing system which has been in
progress for some time. Under
the system, the merchants warn
each other when a “hot check
artist” comes into town.
Jim Siebenthal made a report
on the collection of dues which
are paid monthly by member

Richardson Ind. School District.
Applicants who are 21 years of
age may enroll, even if they are
not graduates of accredited high
schools, if they receive approval
of the dean of the Engineering
College at Arlington State Col-
lege.
W. E. Rogers, chairman of the
special industry committee which
developed the program, said Sat-
urday that regular evening class-
work will begin Sept. 19, with
registration at the high school on
Monday evening, Sept. 14.
“This arrangement is in re-
sponse to urgent neds of elec-
tronics manufacturers in the Dal-
las area,” Mr. Rogers said. “We
are grateful to the Richardson
School system and Arlington
State College for their cooperative
attitude in helping meet this
need.”
The courses will lead to Arling-
ton State’s Associate Degree in
Electrical Technology. The four
courses to be offered fre "Intro
duction to Technical Problems”
and "Applied Algebra,’] on Mon
day and Wednesday evenings; and
“Technical Report Writing” and
“Direct Current" on Tuesday and
Thursday evenings. At this time,
Mr. Rogers said, the laboratory
courses required for the associate
degree will have to be taken on
campus at Arlington.
“The Dallas Chamber’s Educa-
tion Committee surveyed the
area’s employers to pinpoint spe-
cific educational requirements for
prospective employees,” Mr. Rog-
ers said.
“Through special committees
such as ours from the electronics
industry, it tries to develop edu-
cational programs to meet those
specific requirements. We feel
that these courses for electronic
technicians will not only help
meet the needs of our industry,
but will open up good employ-
ment opportunities for many men
and women who cannot now qual-
ify, for. better jobs.”
The most modern system of
telephone numbers in use today
will be introduced in Carrollton
when new telephone directories
are delivered in October.
Know as “All Number Calling”
or ANC, the system substitutes
numerals for the two letters now
being used, making a total of sev-
en numerals rather than two let-
ters and five numerals.
W. P. Esslinger, division man-
ager for Southwestern States Tele-
phone, explains that although
many other advantages have been
realized from the use of ANC, the
system was developed as the re-
sult of a need for providing more
workable telephone numbers.
“Just as all previous steps in
our telephone numbering plan
have been taken as the result of a
‘need- our latest step is being
made to insure the availability of
a supply of numbers to meet the
growth and demand for telephone
numbers.” Esslinger stated.
Changing to ANC will result in
no actual change in the dialing
of Carrollton telephone numbers,
Esslinger pointed out. For exam-
ple, the number OHapel 2-5202 or
CH 2-5020 would be changed to
242-5020. An examination of the
telephone dial will reveal that the
“2” corresponds with the ”C” on
the dial and the “4” corresponds
with the “H”. Actually the method
of dialing remains the same.
New telephone directories, to be
delivered in October, will list
Carrollton numbers under the
ANC system, appearing as the
example cited, 242-5202, or for
the COngress number CO 9-2121
as 289-2121.
Through the actual use of ANC
telephone companies have discov-
ered other advantages. Esslinger
cited some of them.
ANC eliminates the confusion
between the figure zero and the
letter “O’; between the figure one
and letter “I.”
ANC eliminates wrong numbers
caused by misspelling central of-
fice names, such as HI instead HY
fo HYacinth.
AiNC eliminates dialing errors
caused by sound-alike central of-
fice names, such as Mitchell and
Mutual.
ANC promotes improved legibil-
ity on dials, as it will permit elimi-
nation of letters entirely from
telephone dials, making the num-
bers larger.
ANC will facilitate minaturiza-
tion of the telephone instrument,
which the public prefers.
ANC is the forerunner of world-
wide dialing. A meeting was held
recently in Europe and each conti-
nent or country was assigned a
one or two digit code. . . for the
day you’ll be able to dial a call to
any place in the world. Letters ini
language differ, but numerals are
a universal language.
ANC minimizes future number
changes.
ANC is faster, easier and njore
accurate. Experiments have shown
that customers using ANC were
slightly more accurate in their
dialing, they dial their calls 10
per cent faster, find all numbers
just as easy to memorize, and they
like ANC when they become ac-
customed to it.
Esslinger said that in addition
to providing telephone customers
with .the new ANC directories, the
company will mail each subscriber
a new number plate to be placed
in the center of the dial. This
plate will contain the customer’s
ANC number along with the area
code. Number plates will be
mailed about the same time the
new directories are delivered.
“We are confident that Carroll-
ton residents will enjoy the many
advantages of ANC,” Esslinger
stated. “Introduction of the sys-
tem here will mark Carrollton as a
city having the latest and most
modern in telephone numbering
plans.”
