london's Dial Service Will Connect
City With ALI OF United States

When dial service starts in Lon
don in the fall of 1856, local tele-
phone users will have at their fin
gertips one of the latest develop
ments in telephony-direct dialing
OF long distance calls to many
cities throughout the country.
This will be made possible by the
installation of the latest type dial
telephone equipment, according to
r. P. Redman, Ohio Bell CONNER
cial manager. In addition, automa-
tic equipment which registers on a
special tape all details of dialed
long distance calls, will also be I'M
stalled. The equipment records the
distant city dialed, the telephone
number of both the calling and
called party, the time OF day or
night and the length of the conver-
sation. These tapes are then run
through special DECIDING machines
which makes d printed record of
the information and this is used to
compute the charges for each call.
Since direct dialing of long dis
tance calls by subscribers is pos
sible only from individual or two
party residence and business lines,

Modern Jazz Show
OF '55' On Nov. 4

The Modern Jazz Show of S.
comes to the Veterans Memorial
Building, Columbus, Friday Nov. a.
Stars of the revue include the
Dave Brubeck Quartet, featuring
Paul Desmond; the Gerry Mulligan
Sextet, featuring Zoot Sims and
Bob Brookmeyer; Carmen McRae,
Metronome's Singer of the Year;
and the Australian Jazz Quartet.
The Brubeck Quartet has con-
sistently been winning awards Civ
en- by Downbeat and Metronome
magazines. Dave Brubeck was vot-
ed jazz personality of the year in
the Downbeat popular poll. In ad-
dition to Dave'on piano, Paul Des-
mond plays alto sax; Bob Bates,
bass; and Joe Dodge is featured on
drums.
Brubeck music is not arranged.
The sequence of tunes played dur
ing an evening does not follow a set
program, but is a spontaneously
varying selection from a large
group of popular tunes that the
Quartet finds especially stimulat-
ing.
Duke Ellington was responsible

Redman said, the company propos-
es to discontinue four-party resi-
dence service in this area, effective
with the dial changeover. New two
party residence service will be es-
tablished at that time and present
four-party subscribers will be Civ
en- the opportunity to select either
an individual line or the new two
party residence service.
Redman pointed out that there
is a small rate differential between
four-party service and either an
individual or two-pafty line. A.
mong the improved service advant-
ages subscribers will enjoy with
two-party line service are fewer
families sharing the line and each
subscriber receives only their own
ring.
A personal letter is being mailed
to every four-party subscriber To-
Gated in the London exchange, ex-
planning the service improvement
proposal. A stamped, return card
is enclosed on which subscribers
may indicate their choice of serv-
ice and return it to the local tele-
phone business office.

it is pertinent to note that in May,
194S, there was held at the Uni
versity Of Delaware the first meet
ing of. the Institute of Delaware
History and Culture.
"This Institute was organized to
interest the faculty in the history
of Delaware but it Immediately took

Delaware Folk Lore bulletins

DIR. Holloway also credited the
late Paul Burkholder, a former

School Supervisor for Sussex Coun-
ty and a member Os the State Sen
ate, with leading the drive to have
December z become a legal hOli-
day. Action was taken by the Cen
eral Assembly in 1899 and since
that time the observance has taken
place.
The people Of Delaware elected
10 citizens from each Of the three
counties in 1887 to study the Con-
stitutiOn which had been adopted
on September, II Of that year at
the Philadelphia convention. James
Latimer Of New Castle County
served as chairman Of the delega-
tiOn.
On December z, 1887, the thirty
delegates, gathered in the Old State
House at Dover, announced the re-
suit of their deliberations with the
following statement:
I'VE the deputies Of the people
OF the Delaware State, in Conven-
ton met, having taken into our
serious consideration the Federal
Constitution proposed and agreed
upon in a General Convention held

HAVE approved, assented to, rati-
fed and confirmed and by these
presents DO, in virtue of the power
and Authority to US given for that
for and in behalf of our
selves and our constituents, fully,
freely and entirely approve of, as
sent to, ratify and confirm the said
Constitution.
Done in Convention at Dover
this Seventh Day Of December in
the Year of the Aforesaid, and in
the Year of the Independence Of the
United States of America the

have here subscribed our names"
The delegates were as. follows:
