Mr Digit and the Battle of Bubbling Brook (1961)

In “Mr. Digit and the Battle of Bubbling Brook,” a couple returns from vacation to discover their telephone number is being changed from the traditional “Bubbling Brook” to a numerical format. The husband is frustrated by the change, as it represents family history tied to his great-grandfather’s legacy in the Battle of Bubbling Brook. Mr. Digit, a representative from the phone company, explains the necessity for this change due to the increasing demand for telephone numbers and the limitations of the letter-based system. The couple learns that the new system will improve service and accommodate future growth, ultimately coming to terms with the change.
