A GRANITEVILLE PRODUCT SURPRISINGLY ECONOMICAL ASK FOR ESTIMATE st taco SHREVEPORT TENT AWNING CO. 1519 Market St. Phone 5-4274 Shreveport will be one of the first communities in the country to switch to new telephone numbering system called Public Service Commissioner John J. McKeithen announced yesterday.

Selected telephone users in Shreveport and Bossier City will begin using the new ANC numbers on Aug. 21. Numbers beginning with 2. 3. 4, 5 and 7 will be changed over at that time.

The ANC system uses sevendigit numbers instead of a combination of letters, and numbers. McKeithen said all numbers are easier remember and as a result produce fewer dialing errors. In explaining the reason for the changeover, McKeithen said that the nation is rapidly outgrowing the two-letter, five-digit telephone numbering system used in many communities. "The major contributing factors are the booming population growth causing a great increase in the number of telephones, new telephone services, and the development new types of telephones and other telephone equipment," Me Keithen said. "Tests have shown, surprisingly enough, that the all-digit numbers are easier to remember and produce fewer dialing Dean Garner, district manager for Southern Bell Telephone Co.

here, said the first numbers to be changed to ANC are the same ones that Southern Bell had announced earlier would be changed to the two-letter, five-number system in August. That was a preliminary announcement, he said. "It's not quite time to say farewell to the UNiversity, MElrose and LOcust numbers, however, "Garner said. Subscribers whose numbers now have two letters and five numerals will receive ANC numbers in the near future only when they request changes or rearrangements in their service, said. Eventually, all numbers will contain only numerals, no letters.

Other exchanges over the state will be converted as other ment or service changes are planned. According to studies and tests conducted by telephone scientists, ANC has definite advantages, both present and future, over the system now used, Garner said. ADVANTAGES "It is easier and faster to dial calls with the new system because there is no need to switch your attention back and forth between letters and numbers on the Garner said. "All-Number-Calling eliminates confusion between letnumbers on the dial. For example, the letter "0" and the figure "zero" are often confused by dialers, and wrong numbers result.

It happens with the letter and the figure too. The new system does away with that he said. Garner explained that the new system also avoids difficulties in spelling and pronouncing telephone central office names. "There just aren't any names to cause errors," he said. The compelling reason the change, however.

is that, for the future, ANC will make room for additional growth in the telephone system by providing more usable codes, according to Garner. The number of codes cannot be increased under the present system since the letter combinations which form recognizable names are limited. "With more codes available, people can dial more telephones with a minimum number of digits, and it paves the way for such things as national and international direct distance dialing," he explained. Garner suggested customers in mind when supaffected keep the upcoming, change plies of stationery, business cards or other printed material carrying their telephone numbers. All-Number-Calling has been successfully used for the past two years in Wichita Falls, a city of 120,000.

"People there like it." Garner said, "and the experience there confirmed the results of scientific tests made earlier by Bell Telephone Laboratories." GALVESTON, April 10 (UPD The U. S.
