Remembering Old Zenith Numbers

Not to want to disagree with our esteemed host, but I distinctly remember 5 digit Zenith numbers in Bell Canada territory. Zenith

50-000 and Zenith 80-000 that would get you the nearest detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and the nearest Ambulance dispatchers.

How about the non-exchange, non-dialable, ZEnith X-XXXX numbers?.
