"MY DAD
can talk farther than YOURS."
When Donnie Watson's father greeted him
over the telephone from 500 miles away,
Donnie was impressed no end., He couldn't
resist Luasting a bit to his next-door neigh-
bour and playmate.
Whenever you're called out of town, do as
Bob Watson does — telephone home. It
brings peace of mind at a trifling cost.
[Reductions in telephone rut's—lnc,tl end long
distance — in 1031,'30 and 717 have effected
savings to telephone users to Ontario and
Quebec of nearly one million dollars yearly.
