W. Haysom your telephone manager MOTHER will Enjoy An Extension in Her Kitchen Busy days are here again! The children are back at school. Football season is in full swing and all sorts of fall activities are getting under way. Yes, fall is a busy"time for all of us here in Seaforth. During times like these did you ever notice what a busy place the kitchen is? Mother sure has her hands full preparing meals, planning fall outings and watching the little ones. What better time to consider the advantages of a handy• extension telephone. An exten- sion in the kitchen not only saves steps but permits the housewife to keep one eye on the dinner and the other on the children while she makes and takes calls. A lot of people also consider the bedroom a key location for an extension phone. Many a long run to the phone downstairs has been prevented by a bedroom extension. But more important to the housewife is that feeling of security a bedside telephone provides, especially if she is ever alone at night. Remem- ber, whether you choose the space -saving Princess, the com- pact wall phone, or the streamlined table set, there's a colour in each style to harmonize with your decor. Why not calf us at Seaforth 200 today? We'll be glad to talk over extension telephones with you. Now, here's an entertainment treat for the whole family! On October 2, 9:30 to 11:00 p.m., the Trans -Canada Tele- phone System will present it's first 1961-62 television program - an all -Canadian production by CBC -TV of Tyrone Guthrie's 1961 Stratford Festival presentation of "The Pirates of Penzance", Gilbert and Sullivan's gay comic opera about Major General Stanley's beautiful daughters' and their ad- ventures with the pirates. The show, which will have the original Stratford cast, has been skillfully adapted for television by CBC -TV. This will be `the first of several shows that will be 'presented during the coming season by the Trans -Canada Telephone System of which The Bell Telephone Company of Canada is a member.
