THIS CHRISTMAS The stores can spread their Christmas rush over several weeks. But the Telephone Company has to handle an avalanche of Long Dis­ tance calls On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day itself! There’s no way to set up a telephone system BIG enough to keep this tremendous traffic moving at normal speed.. There’s no way to "ledict where the worst jams will occur. Calls normally concentrate etween the principal cities, but on this one day they pour in from widely scattered towns and villages, as old friends exchange personal greetings across the miles between. This year, hundreds of telephone people will, give up their own ChtiMipas and do their level best to complete your holiday calls Every available circuit will be in service But there are bound to be delays and dis­ appointments. If your own calls get caught in the rush, we’re sure you’ll understand.
