Direct Long-Distance Dialing Goes into Effect Early Sunday Starting at 2:01 a.m. tomorrow telephone users here will be a able to dial their own long distance calls to more than 90 million phones in the continental United States and Canada. Introduction of Direct Distance Dialing here and in 26 other southwestern Michigan communities will be made possible by the completion of a $5.1 million project by the Michigan Bell Telephone Co. Ray C.

Briggs, manager here for Michigan Bell, said the new service will begin for users of approximately 120,000 telephones. In addition to phone users here, the direct dialing service will begin for Michigan Bell customers in Athens, Bellevue, Benton Harbor, Berrien Springs, Coloma, Eau Claire, Fulton, Galesburg, Kalamazoo, Marshall, Martin, Olivet, Otsego, Plainwell, Richland, St. Joseph, Three Oaks, Vicksburg and Watervliet. At the same time the service will start in the following communities served by independent (non-Bell) companies: Banfield, Baroda, Bridgman, Edwardsburg, New Troy-Sawyer, Schoolcraft and Union. Along with the new service, a dial "1" safeguard will be put in effect.

Phone users will first dial the numeral "1" when making a long distance call. This connects callers to the nationwide network and safeguards against accidentally reaching a distant number when mis-dialing a local call. Without the safeguard, mis-dialed calls could go astray and cause a an inconvenience to the calling party and to the distant party reached by mistake. Mr. Briggs explained the procedure callers will use to dial their own long distance calls.

For example, to make a call to Chicago, a phone user will first dial the numeral 4133 to reach the direct dialing network. Then, the caller will dial the area code-312 for Chicago followed by seven digit number of the telephone he wishes to reach. Local Births COMMUNITY HOSPITAL Mr. and Mrs. Dennis C.
