0001 t February 2, 1933. THE WEST VAN NEWS TELEPHONE INDUSTRY ADVANCES IN 193Z DE- SPITE BUSINESS I.OSSES Although handicapped by world conditions, the telephone industry managed to finish 1932 with an impressive list of ac- complishments to its credit for that year. Expansion of the internation- al telephone network continued during the year, and as 0 result British Columbia is now able to reach various parts of the globe that were inaccessible by tele- phone 12 months sgo. The year saw telephone service extended from North America to Egypt, South Africa, Portugal, the Ba- hama Islands, Peru, Venezuela, Colombia and Siam. More than 30,000,000 telephones, represent- ing over 90 per cent of all the telephones in the world, are now inter-connected. Early in 1932 Canada's great- est telephone project, a coast-to- coast line, was completed, and for the first time it wss possible to talk across the Dominion without detouring through the United States. The B. C. Tele- phone Company alone spent 31,000,000 for its section of the trans-Canada telephone line. Despite the fact that they were losingtelephonesinstead of gain- ing them, and long-distance busi- ness was below normal, the B. C. Telephone Company and its as- sociate, the North-west Tele- phone Company, fought back by making a number of extensions and improvements: 1. Opening of 0 long-distance service to Prince Rupert by mesne of 0 radio link. 2. Opening of a longAistarce service to Prince George by means of a radio link. 8. Opening of a long-distance service to a logging camp at Claydon Bay by means of 0 radio link. 4. Purchase from the Domin- ion Government of the telephone system in the Gulf Islards and also the system st Sooke, on Vancouver Island. 5. Extension of the lines of the B. C. Telephone Company to Menzies Bay, above Campbell River on Vancouver Island, and also to Forbes Landing. 6. Opening of service to points on the P.G.E. Railway as far as Bridge River station, and also in the Bridge River Valley. 7. Opening of 0 direct circuit from the coast to Nelson. 8. Opening of direct circuits from Victoria to Chemainus, Courtenay, Cumberland and Port Alberni. Telephone service between ship and shore was extended to still more ocean liners on the Atlantic during 1932, so that now British Columbia telephone subscribers can eall up passen- gers on sny one of 13 trans- Atlantic vessels and one ship plying between New York and Bermuda. The longest commercial tele- phone call in history took'place from Vancouver early in the year when 0 Vancouver import- er called up Melbourne, Aust- ralis, a telephone distance of over 18,000 miles. The year was also marked by the first telephone conversation ever held between British Col- umbia and Norway, British Col- umbia and Hawaii, British Col- umbia snd Bermuda, and British Columbia and Italy.

MAYOR TAYIA)R OPENS NEW B. C. EI.ECTRIC GAS I'LANT Provincial and civic recogni tion was accorded Vancouver's latest industry, the new 31,500,- 000 gas plant of the British Col- umbia Electric Railway Comp- any Limited at the foot of Car- rall Street on False Creek when it was formally put into opera- tion by Mayor Louis D. Taylor st noon Tuesday, January 31. aff Surrounded by a representa- tive group of provincial and civic officials Mayor Taylor oper- ated 0 special lever which re- leased the first discharge of coke from the new retorts signifying that the first gas had been man ufactured in the Carrell Street plant. In welcoming the guests who represented not only the city but adjacent districts snd the Dom- inion snd Provincial govern- ments, Mr. W. G, Murrin, presi- dent of the company, pointed out that the supplying of gas was no longer con6ned to the City of Vancouver, but extended far beyond its borders and that gas would be available in North Van- couver were it not for the catas- trophe of the Second Narrows bridge. The new plant covers six acres in extent with a frontage on slee Creek of 876 feet whereOscows containing British Colum- bia coal sre unloaded. Present capacity of the plant, which embodies all the latest gas making machinery is 3,000,- 000 cubic feet daqy with 0 simll- tsneous yearly production of 36,000 tons of 0 very high grade coke fuel, thus placing Vancou- ver in the happy position of a large number of cities in East- ern Canada where coke forms the chief fuel of industry. British Columbia'0 coal min- ing industry receives an added stimulus with the operation of the Carrall Street gss plant con- suming 70,000 tons of coal each 0car.The new plant constitutes the ilrst complete unit of 0 gas mak- ing installation designed to pro- I 1 I I 7 SCOTTISH SOCIETY GIVES SIOST SUCCESSFUL BURNS'IGHT The West Vancouver Scottish Society celebrated Burns night with 0 most successful military whist drive and dance at the Clachan last Friday. There was a large attendance, nineteen tables being in play. Those at the winning table were Mrs. F. Knight-Hodge, Mrs. Duncan Mc- Donald, F. Knight-Hodge, and Elmer Bell, the consolation prizes going to Mr. snd Mis. Hastings and Mr. and Mrs. De Pencier, Following the cards the guests sat down to supper, which included 0 number of Scotch dainties. The address to "The Immort- al Memory" was in the capable hands of Rev. D. A. Allan, who referred to the lasting afFection in which the poet was held by all of Scottish blood as well as by many others. He emphasized the fact that Burns was the poet of democracy, and closed his ad- dress by a feeling recitation of "A Man's a Man for 0'hat." The tables were then cleared away and the guests thoroughly efUoyed themselves up to the wee sma'ours in Scottish dances to music provided by Miss Frame, who wss assisted by Mrs. Van Sickle, T. J. Irwin, acted as M.C., and he saw to it that everybody was kept up to concert pitch until the singing of Auld Lang Syne brought the evening to 0 close. 6 2 8 I )I II i2 il ii il i5 18 IR 78 Mrs. I.
