"sl'ig'ht about here lose the aist of it!"
by W. W. Haysom
your telephone manager
Christmas weekend is` -on its way. With most of us en-
joying a three or four-day ,holiday, family gatherings will be.
possible since people. will have time to travel home for
Christmas. And, much of that travel will be by auto. So, just:
a word of caution ... remember that sleet, ice, snow -rutted
roads often make winter driving hazardous. These few re-
minders, recommended) by many experienced drivers, if
heeded, will help to' make your Christmas holiday trip both
safe and pleasant. Keep your car in top mechanical order.
Observe all the laws and be courteous and alert. Use snow
tires or chains on ice and packed, snow• Drive smoothly,
avoiding sudden, starts, stops andi abrupt turns. Keep more
than the usual distance between your car and the vehicle
ahead. "Pump" brakes lightly on icy or wet streets to bring
your car to a gradual stop. If you should skid, let up on the
gas pedal and steer in the same direction as your rear
wheels -are sliding. Watch for thawing ice — you need twice
as much stopping distance on slush as on glare ice. Turn
your headlights on low beam during a snow storm or fog.
Watch for icy patches on streets and frosty' bridge .floors.
Keep windows clear and clean, Above all — slow down! Hap-
py and safe travelling. ,
For those last minute checks on holiday plans remem-
ber your telephone is ready and waiting to help you through
these busy days. Whether it's a call to a neighbor to check
up on Junior's whereabouts,' to the store to quickly order a
forgotten item, or to out-of-town relatives or friends to make
final plans for the holiday, your telephone can ease the rush-
ing about during these.last few days. In fact, it's almost as
good as having an errand boy at your beck and call 24 hours
a day.'
*****
Canadians fortunate enough to have visited Expo 67
this past summer heard languages from every corner of the
globe. Not only in the fascinating national pavilions, but
along the walkways of Expo grounds the different tongues
added to the international atmosphere. I thought it might
be interesting to discover how the telephone was answered in
some of the different countries. Our "Hello" comes from the
High German "Halla" which apparently *as originally a coin -
mend for a horse or dog. It's completely replaced "Ahoy",
the first telephone greeting. Today's German answers with
"Wer spricht?" "Who speaks?" While "God dog" provides
the opening gambit in Sweden. The Spanish "Piga" — 'Talk"
comes straight to the point, and the ever tactful 'Frenchman
cos nlenees with "3' eeoute" — "I am listening". The Rus-
sians answer with "Slushayu" meaning `Listening". In Bri-
tain, the telephone is usually answered by repeating the tele-
phone number. However, if you're answering a btlairless call,
the name of your firm and your own name provides, the
best response, for the caller.
