Johnston your telephone manager MRS, VANCE SANDERSON FINDS SHE IS USING THE. TELEPHONE' NOW MORE THAN EVER BEFORE You probably aren't conscious of it —but chances are you're using your telephone more than you, were, say, 10 years ago, How can we tell? Be cause we're a lot busier here at the telephone company handling your calls. For example, 10 years ago Pell customers made an average of 11,180,- 000 calls a day. ' In 1960, we were handling an average of 21,606,000 calls a day throughout our territory-93% increase: Much of this results from now customers, of course. But quite bit comes from the fact that you're picking up your phone more often becaUse you can call more people, and more people can call you, We're happy to know your telephone is working harder for yen—saving steps, making life easier and more pleasant. • * We thought it might be a good idea to remind folks in Wingham once again about our new FREE Concealed Wiring Service for homes under construction. Our installers will place multi-wire cable between. the walls throughout a new home provided this service is requested before the walls and partitions are closed in. Then, when the house is completed and the customer has chosen the location, or locations, for telephone service, our installer will locate the hidden wire with an electronic instrument and con- nect the telephone, or telephones, with the wiring. An inconspicuous plastic face plate will be fixed to the outlet from the wall and the only wire showing will be the lead to the telephone. Most folks agree that this new free service is a real boon to the home own- er and adds to the value of his home, For full information, ask your builder to call our Business Office and ask for Concealed Wiring Service, * * * While anyone in Wingham can have a White telephone simply by ordering it from the telephone business office, in Poland it• seems a white telephone is a sPcial mark of prestige and honour. We heard a story recently about a director of communications in an unidentified Polish town who received 40 white phones for distribution. Everybody wanted one, The whole town was in an uproar and the director a target for protest, He finally set up a special committee to decide who would get the telephones. All but one of the telephones were placed and a heated argument is still going On as to who gets the last one. ' * Remember, when you're travelling this summer, wherever you go, go first by phone.
