Original Toronto Star caption: Face behind the voice: If you dial O on your telephone in Metro; you may well find yourself talking to Rosemary Treadway; a Bell Canada operator at Main Square in east Toronto. She answers 500 to 1;000 calls a day - a tedious job in spite of her new computerized keyboard console.
