THE NEW WAY TO GET A NUMBER FROM INFORMATION . . No Charge for These Calls
To make it more convenient for you to get telephone numbers in communities nearby or far away, we're setting up new Infor- / mation Centers throughout the country. Each Center special- "' izes in the telephone numbers in its own Area. For example, there's a Center for northern New Jersey; the 201 Area, and one for the San Francisco region of California, the 415. Area.
To reach an Information Center outside New York City, you merely dial the Center's Area Code, then 555-1212 - the new nationwide Information number. For northern New Jersey
"Information," for example, you'll dial 201 and then 555-1212. You'll speak directly with an operator right in northern 'New Jersey. She'll, of course, be familiar with the locality you're calling. She'll find the number for you fast because she'll have only a few Information books to search through - books that cover northern New Jersey alone, You continue to dial 411 to obtain. numbers in your own Neur York City borough. For numbers in other boroughs, just dial:555-1212. Here's how the net, system works from Brooklyn.

EMERGENCY CALLS On Party Lines
WARNING:
New York State law requires you to hang up the receiver of a party line telephone imme- diately when told the line is needed for an emergency call to a fire department or police department or for medical aid or ambulance service. It is un- lawful to take over a party line by stating falsely that the line is needed for an emergency. The law defines an "emer- gency" as "a situation in which property or human life are in jeopardy and the prompt summoning of aid is essential:"

Calls to practically ali the world's telephones can be made from your telephone. Tell the operator the name of the coun- try you are calling.

Direct Inward Dialing
Under the system known as Direct Inward Dialing, an outside caller merely dials the central office designation followed by the extension he wants. The call will go direct- ly to the extension instead of a switchboard operator. For example, the main number for the New York Telephone
Company's headquarters in New York City is 394-4141. To reach extension 9970 at that number, you'd dial 394-9970.
Customers who have this service will tell you about it ao you can call them more conveniently.
