Out-of-town telephone calls are now
being completed almost instantan-
eously. In central offices of the Ches-
apeake and Potomac Telephone Com
panies in Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia and the District of Column
bia, officials of the companies say that
last year on the average, the $4,000
out-of-town calls made each twenty
four hours were completed within one
minute after the order was filed with
the operator. This compares with
about IL minutes six years ago.
Users of the service today take up
the telephone, ask the operator for the
number or name of the person wanted
in another city or community, are
asked to wait on the line, the connec-
ton is established, and the converse
ton held almost as if the persons
speaking were face to face. Making
an out-of-town telephone call is a very
simple operation-from the telephone
users point of view.
With the telephone company there
is very different story. Each out-of-
town telephone call requires at least
fourteen distinct operations before the
charges are billed to the subscriber at
his home or office.
When the subscriber places the call
to an out-of-town city, the operator
writes on standard ticket the calling
number, the telephone number of the
party called, and, in cases of person
to-person calls, the name. These facts
are necessary for operating and bill
ing purposes. When the call is com.
pleted, the operator stamps the ticket
with calculagraph or timing clock
which records the elapsed period
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1934-09-14

talked. The ticket is then filed along
with others by the night operators
after the busy periods of the evening
are over. Each days accumulation of
tickets are forwarded to the account
ing department for billing.
When tickets for out-of-town tele-
phone calls are received in the ac-
counting department, they are weighed
to measure the approximate volume Of
calls. The tickets are then rated by
having the charges written on them
and tota.ed. Tickets are then assorted
by central offices, being arranged in
numerical order, and filed in five-day
allotments. When tickets for six per-
iods of five days each are assembled,
they are passed along to a group of
clerks who place the charges on state
ments showing the date of each call,
the place called, amount of charges,
government tax, and other necessary
billing information.
Other clerks add the charges for each
subscribers statement. The tickets
are then routed to another group of
clerks who verify the tickets and
statements by adding the money value
of the tickets and comparing with the
amounts totaled on the statements.
This insures the subscriber against
billing errors. The amounts on the
statements are then posted on tn
monthly bills; the statement is at
tached, and both are placed in an en-
velope ready for mailing. At stag
gered intervals during the month, bills
are mailed to various communities and
usually are paid by check or at the
business offices of the company or
other designated collection agencies.

WASHINGTON, UI.N)-
Those of you who think that because
last winter was long and hard this
one coming up will be milder are due
70 receive some bad news.
The winter Of 1934-35 bids fair to
be one of the toughest In years--one
that will be long remembered, per-
haps as memorable as that great
winter of 1883.
Sages Say So, Too
This prediction comes both from
scientists, who reach their decisions
from study and weather instruments,
and from the old sages of the western
prairieS, who were predicting the
weather many years before science
thought it could.
Some scientists believe that not
only this next winter; but the next
five will be severe. This forecast is
based mostly on a weather cycle,
which is supposed to repeat itself
every % years. If you can recall
the billiards. of 1911-12. it may give
you some indication as to what to
expect in the next few months.
Whatever you may think of the
pet weather cycle theory of the
scientists. it will have to be admit ed
that they scored bull's-eye in giving
their ideas about last winter. About
this time in 1888. ea>'""', scientists
