TELEPHONE COMPANY (Continued from Page One) leased wires of the Bell Telephone system, Southern Bell will be able to re-assign all regular full-time operators who desire to continue work at the exchange, Cold said. “The Company has frequently been praised for its willingness and ability to re-assign operators at the time of conversion of tele- phones to dial,” Jasper Dor: Y, District. manager, said tod: Ys Dorsey said the dial equipment is being installed not only to meet the tremendous demand for service caused by Key West’s growth, but because of the importance of the city as a Naval center, Although material shortages due to the national defense program have slowed work slightly, installa- tion of the equipment is not notice- ably behind schedule, The manual switchboard to be re- | weather with few showers, Weather Summary for the Tropical Atlantic, Caribbean Sea Area and Eastern Gulf of Mexico: Pressure systems in the nearby tropics are all rather “flat” and there are no signs of any de- veloping disturbance.

The 80 operators employed at the Southern Bell company on the man- ual switchboard, will be replaced by the impersonal dial tone. That Personal contact with the telephone felt by all users, sometimes plea- sant, sometimes frustrated when the voice fails to sound, will be just another memory come December 6, midnight. The female voice, will emanate when a user dials information. A voice, not a mechanical hum will also help out users who afe trying to get disconnected numbers, chang ed numbers, and other hard-to-get connections. These voices will be of girls called by the company “‘in- terceptors’’. e The full-time regular operators who have worked with the company will all be reassigned to other jobs, if they wish, Chet Cold manager said today, , There are probably lots of Key Westers, however, who will miss the friendly voice of a telephone girl when they pick up their receiv- er, and instead hear one more sign of this mechanical age. The advantages of modern effici- ency will be offset by the loss of the warmth of personal contact, but that is the price of progress, according to company executives.
