Volume 50. Tasi Replaces Time In Waiting On No One Those gaps and pauses in tele phone talk—so noticeable when you overhear just one half of a phone conversation—will make it possible for a switching system being de veloped at Bell Telephone Labor atories to double the number of conversation carried by existing underseas cables. The system, call ed TASI, will do it by placing spurts of talk into the voids. TASI will be ready for service on the first transatlantic cable, White Plains to London, next year. The system wil lenable the cable, laid in 1956 at a cost of S4O million to carry 72 simultaneous conver sations over 36 of the present cir cuits. Each transoceanic telephone con versation, like most other long distance calls, is carried over a pair of channels, one channel for each direction. Thus the users, al ternately speaking over one chan nel and then listening over the other, can at present keep any single channel in use less than half the time. TASI, however, will in effect break up this pairing, by permit ting the channels in one direction to carry traffic independently of channels in the other direction. The system will interlace spurts of active speech from any or all of the talkers on one side of the ocean to fill the viods in the trans mission oaths. At the other side of the ocean. TASI will nimbly and unerringly cort out the phrases and send them to the proper list eners. The talkers, who remain unaware of the wholep rocess, will hear the same voices and quality of reception they are accustomed to. When the number of conversa tions exceeds the number of chan nels available under the present pairing system. TASI will begin interlacing talkspurts. To do it, TASI monitors each talker’s line continuously, keeping tab on which persons are actually talkking. Like a superhumanly sneedy op erator. the system will disconnect a talker from the transmission path, but only for the short period he remains silent. Simultaneously TA. r ) will connect in his place an other caller who is just beginning to speak. When the silent talker resumes speech, he will instantly be connected with another channel, where someone else has paused. Thus any single channel will car ry one talker after another. For example, on one channel a talker in England might say “Cherio” and hang up. A moment later, Tom, a U. S. Army private stationed over seas, resumes speaking after paus ing in his conversation with Judy, who is in Kansas City. TASI seizes the vacant channel and just ahead of Tom's voice sends a coded tone that tells the White Plains equip ment to connect Tom to Judy’s lines. The talkers can’t hear the t one —it’s over before they are con nected to the line. Tom says, “Judy, I miss you, uh— ’•’ and hesitates. TASI’s speech detector notes that he is silent. At this moment the system has a heavy load of traffic and can af ford no time for tongue-tied people, even in the cause of love. Mean while a foreign correspondent has resumed talking to his home office. Because all the other channels are busy, TASI removes Tom from the channel and puts the reporter on. Two seconds later, ToTm has wsallowed the lump in his throat and resumes. Tasi discovers this and connects Tom to another chan nel. which has become free. Thus talkspurts are interwoven in the manner that gives TASI her name: Time Assignment Speech Interpolation. Conversations actually do not keep the channels busy even half the time, as there are moments when neither person sneaks. TASI will be applied onlv where a large number of channels is available, so as to provide an averaging ef fect. Thus one chnnel at least will virtually alwavs be onen at any given instant. Rarely will the inter val in which a channel is not open he long eongh to be noticeable to the listener. The operation of the system has been proved in trails using office telephones in Murray (Carried To Society Page) The Forsyth County News OFFICIAL ORGAN OF FORSYTH COUNTY & CITY OF CUMMING DEVOTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF FORSYTH.

Talmadge j Southern Bell Publication Wins International Award THE BELL TEL NEWS, the miniature newspaper which Law trenceville, Cumming, and Buford j customers receive monthly with t their telephone bills, was present jed an “Award of Excellence” last j week at Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The citation is part of the In- I j ternational Council of Industrial j • Editors’ 1958 Awards Program, i j said Bill Davis, Southern Bell Man ; ager here. The award is based on the con tent and appearance and on the job that the publiction does in promoting undestnding of the Com pany. Southern Bell sends the pub lication to customers in Georgia and throughout the South, Mr. Davis said. More than 849 publications from the United States, Canada, Hawaii, and the United Kingdom were eva luated by members of the Cana | dian Industrial Editors’ Association in the ICIE 1958 Awards Program. | The top 20 per cent were selected for a further evaluation by a pan el of 21 judges from the United States and it was from this 20 per cent that THE BELL TFT.

(And he answered, I have found j thee: because thou hast sold thv self to work kevil in the sight of the Lord.” 1 Kings 21:20. Ahab was a nominal worshiper of Je hovah but he was a weakling and ws esily influenced by his wicked wife Jezebel He hd allowed Jeze bel and the other Bad worshipers to just about take over the coun , try of Isreal. Ahab had been warned by Elijah and his sons had been condemned. Ahab had come to look upon the great prophet of God as his enemy, “Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? Elijah answered, “I have found thee, because thou has sold thyself to work evil in the right of the Lord.” When a man comes to the place that he thinks that the messengers of God are his enemies, he is in a bad state of affairs. I know of a commanding officier in our rm y who was so wicked that he even started curs ing when he would see the Chap lain coming. The followers of Christ the church—are the guardians of the truth as contained in the Bible. No one should ever look upon those who are upholding the truth as their enemy. The truth hurts sometime—but you can’t kill the truth by killing the man who spoke the truth. I have known men who were professing Christians but who be came estranged from the church because of the hypocrites and in consistances thev saw in church. Thev stopped goin"- they seemed to look upon the church of Christ as their enemy. The messengers of Christ are not your enemies. Jesus said, “He that is not for me is against me.” Whose side are you on? Let us realize that Jesus Christ is man’s best friend. Just renew our allegiance to Him today.

Bill Davis, manager of Southern Bell Telephone Company, said that when the twin-cable is completed this fall, it will provide 36 addi tional voice circuits between the U. S. and continental Europe. It will primarily serve France and Germany with some circuits ex tended to Switzerland, Italy, Bel guim, the Netherlands and Spain, and will suplement raido-telephone ! circuits now in use to these points, i A British Cableship, the HMST Monarch, is laying the cable be tween Penmarch, France, and Clar enville, Newfoundland, a distance 2, 400 miles. Public service is scheduled to begin this fall. Since the end of World War II there has been a tremendous in crease in the number of overseas calls. * Rates have continued to decrease over the years. When overseas service was inaugurated in 1927. a three minute call from New York to London cost about $75.00. To day, a tlmee-minute call from Cum jming to nearly any point in the [ world costs only $12.00. j Th< cable system, to cost $40,- 1 000.000. will be cwned jointly by j the Long Lines Department of American Telephone and Telegraph 'company, the French Ministry of I Posts, Telegraph and Telephones and the German Federal Ministry lof Posts Telecommunications. SOCIAL SECURITY An important provision in the 1958 amendments to the social se curity law will affect many bene ficiaries whose annual earnings are more than SI2OO, according to Cecil W. Collins, district manager of the Gainesville Social Security District Office. Effective with months beginning January, 1959, benefits are payable for an v month in which a benefi ciary does not earn over SIOO in wages or render substantial ser vices in self-emolovment. ’ess of his total yearly earnings. This means that even those who earn more than S2OBO a year can "eceive benefits for some months if the new test applies to them. All social security beneficiaries can be classed in three general earnings categories. These categor ies and how they affect entitlement to monthly social security checks are as follows: 1. Annual earnings of SI2OO or less. Checks are payable for every month of the year. 2. Annual earnings of mo v than SI2OO, but less than S2OBO. Checks are forfeited for each SBO of the total earnings which exceed SI2OO. For example, if annual earnings are $1360 two checks would be forfeited. Checks a'-e payable how ever. for each month in which an employee’s earnings do not exceed SIOO or in which a self-err ployed person does not render sub tantial services in his business. 3. Annual earnings of mo'-> than S2OBO. No checks are payable if an employee’s earnings exceed SIOO for each month of the year, or if a self-employed person performs substantial services for each month However, benefit ARE pavable for anv month in the year in which the beneficiary does not earn over SIOO in wages or does not render substantial se~vices in his business if he is self-emploved.

Can Lead The World In Outlawing War By Richard C. Rodgers, >l. IV. (This Is a series of articles that will continue from week to wvek until the End). The sudden burst of scientific progress in the development at lethal weapons staggers the imagi nation. When we read that a twen ty-megaton bomb, within the grasp of more than one nation, is fn* million times as powerful as the devastating four-ton bomb of 1942. its significance trencends our pow er of comprehension. From the growing acquisition by many nations of the power of anni hilation, there has evolved the stark reality that civilization has reached the most crucial climax, in its history. We shall emerge to prosper or two perish, depending: upon the wisdom of the course w next pursue. If we are successful in eradicating war, we can pro ceed to greater levels of both spiri tual and material achievement. II we fall, civilization in all probabi l lity will be destroyed. j This crisis finds us in a race between the age-old forces that have inevitably led to war on the one hand, and the forces striving to create adequate machinery to outlaw war, on the other. The creative forces can win this race only if national leaders realisti cally face our crisis and correctly ascertain the basic principles that constitute the essentail require [ ments of lasting world peace, and. (then by positive action speed the (construction of the machinery ne cessary to implement these princi ples into an effective machannum against war. Leaders of nations never before have been confronted by a chal lenge so perilous and decisive. Let us now explore the essential elements for achieving a lasting peace. Can National Security and Last ing World Peace be Achieved Through Arnianients or by Nat ional Diplomacy (hat Relies on the Threat of Their Use? Nations have attempted to achieve national security by relying upon strength of arms for a dual puroose. First, to deter armed at tack and, second, to win the re sulting war if the deterrent failed. Most nations are ‘■till attempting to prevent war bv massive pre paration for war. But the solace which the winner of the arms race once found in the assurance it wo. ild win the war it could not avoid has abruptly disappeared. There can be no victory in a mod ern nuclear war The validity of 1 the arms race must -ow stand or I fall solely upon its effective:',"-'- -s Ia deterrent to war. I Armed strength alone as a de- I terrent to war has failed repeated ly. Actually, armed strength as a sole deterrent among opposing nat ions had to fall and unless anew means to achieve peace is found, [armed strength as a sole deterrent will fall in the future. Understand [ ing why it has failed is essential, for without such an understanding [the attempt to obtain a reliable means to achieve lasting peace will ,be futile. The reasons why arms races j have not prevented war are rooted deeply in the timeless and basic [psychology which underlies human nature the world over. The mount ing arms bulludp by an unfriendly state, while intended to give se curity to that state, must neces sarily create insecurity in its an tagonist which is thus stimulated to take counter-measures of mili tary preparedness. The higher the armaments are pyramided on each side, the greater the mutual dis trust and fear that results. Ten sion mounts to a point where a slight incident can precipitate war between hostile powers. .Annual June Singing Here Sunday, June 28 i The Annual Ju~e Sin' :ng ur'dl jh held r* the C ’-nming Court j House Sunday June 28. i Everybody cordially invited to come and enjoy the day with us.
