manager
At this time of the year we like to think in human
terms -the love of man for his fellow men . , the re-
birth of hope and the renewal of man's faith in himself.
We have seen the machine age grow and develop to the
gpoint where some have suggested that machines have
g become our masters . that nowadays machines can
A serve mankind better than man himself. Indeed, the age
ig of science has advanced so far and so fast that one can
Escarcely keep abreast of it. We in the telephone company
E are very much aware of this. We have made tremendous
strides in perfecting what we like to call the telephone art.
But, in spite of all our up-to-date technology we cannot
iescape the happy fact that the friendly helpful operator is
as indispensable as ever. There are many times when
f,,, only human understanding and sympathy can provide the
g service you urgently need. A sudden emergency, the need
for a doctor in the night, swift help from the police or
fire department, locating a friend in a. distant city -these
A are the times when an unknown, but friendly voice can
ghelp you most. No matter how many complex devices the
Uyears may bring to improve telephone service there will al -
1 ways be operators to give the one service that no machine
. can provide -human understanding.
Speaking of Christmas, we would like to take this op -
hportunity to remind everybody about careful driving during
the festive season. We at the Bell have a sort of philoso-
1 phy of the road that we try to encourage our drivers to
follow. We call it defensive driving. A defensive driver
avoids driving errors himself, is always alert to the be-
haviour of the cars around him and carefully compensates
for road and weather conditions in order to stay alive.
�$ At this time of the year, when driving conditions can be
hazardous, we think this is a worthwhile philosophy to
A have.
k2 In the meantime, on behalf of everyone here at the
Bell, I would like to extend you a very Merry Christmas
�F,� and the best in health and happiness for the coming year.

NOT AN ECONOMY
The do-it-yourself bargain
hunter may find that home
cleaning of his clothes can be
a dangerous economy if he
uses carbon tetrachloride in a
room without adequate venti-
lation. This highly dangerous
fluid vaporizes quickly -- and
fatally, especially if the user
has had an alcoholic drink
within the past several hours.
There are a number of safe
cleaning fluids on the market
which do not contain carbon
tetrachloride. The druggist
would probably be able to rec-
commend those which can be
used safely.

While food is a great part of
the family Christmas obser-
vance, many of us overlook the
fact that food products offer an
endless variety of holiday gift
possibilities,
Cheese, of course, is an old
favorite. Ready-made gift
packages are available, or one
can make up a variety package,
placed in a wooden basket or
on a small chopping board, or
surrounding a chesse knife.
Baskets of colorful fruits,
long a gift favorite, may also
be "ordered" or prepared at
home. It's much more fun to
prepare, using as a final touch
unshelled nuts of the type or
types available locally.
Vegetables may also be
used -as decorations for a pre-
sentation of canned fancy veg-
etables -artichoke hearts, as-
paragus, picked onions, etc.
Good gift for a gourmet.
And, in the meat line, who
wouldn't appreciate the gift of
a baked ham?
Tradition Helped
As Washington
Crossed River
During the American Revo-
lution, George Washington
used his knowledge of Christ-
mas celebrations to take an
important step toward peace.
Puritan settlers in the New
World disapproved of Christ-
mas festivities, but Washing-
ton knew that the Hessian
soldiers, employed by George
III to fight the colonists, would
observe Christmas as they had
done at home.
On December 25-26, 1776, he
crossed the Delaware, attacked
and put to rout the surprised
Hessians who had been oblivi-
ously sleeping off the effects of
their holiday festivities.
