Norman Fitzsimons, V New Telephone Directories Mailed this Week Clinton's new telephone directory which is being delivered to local sub- scribers this week, contains many list- ngs new and changed from those of the last issue. The new buff cover will alternate with the green one used on the last directory. In view of the large number of new Listings, it is important to discard the old book promptly on receipt of the new one, and carefully consult the new one before placing calls, if the "wrong number" nuisance ,is to be avoided. Subs'eribers can do their bit to conserve paper by contributing 'their old directories to the bundles they prepare for the regular salvage col- lection• In order further to assist in saving paper, those who are moving should not forget to take their tele- phone directories with them, instead of asking for another at •the new resi- dence.
