Strange how bad weather and long shopping lists seem
to turn up at this time of the year. Here we are half-way
through November and already Christmas shopping lists
are growing and the unpredictable November weather is
beginning to settle into winter's chill. Bad weather, lack
of a baby sitter or available car presents no problem when
your telephone is handy. It can help you make short
work of any shopping list. Many stores are waiting to
take your telephone orders. If there is something that
you need in a hurry or something that catches your eye
in an advertisement, just pick up your phone and place
your order. If you don't know the number you can find
it in either the white or Yellow Pages of your telephone
directory. Of course, shopping is just one way that your
telephone helps you. Every day in many ways it can save
you time and trouble. Rely on it, use it. Nothing else
you use so often does so much—yet costs so little—as
your telephone.
Days seem to fly by this time of year. I can hardly
believe that Christmas is only a few weeks away. With
cards to write, gifts to mail to distant relatives and
friends, often one of the biggest puzzles is deciding on a
gift for the whole family. I've a couple of suggestions
that might solve the problem and make shopping easier.
An additional directory listing would be a thoughtful
"stocking filler" for someone living with you, perhaps an
in-law or a grown-up son or daughter. Helps folks to get
their telephone number easily, and it's a gift that they'll
enjoy all year long. An extension telephone in color is a
Christmas morning surprise that will save time and steps
all year long. If these ideas help solve a shopping prob-
lem, just give our Service Representative a call at the
Business Office. Oh yes, we'll Christmas-wrap and deliver
the extension telephone of your choice, and arrange to re-
turn to connect it later when most convenient.
*
Just a reminder to anyone planning to make overseas
calls during the busy holiday periods of December 17,
December 2426, as well as December 31 and January 1.
Advance reservations for such calls will be taken starting
Wednesday, November 29, at 9:00 a.m. To reserve a call,
just ask your Long Distance Operator to connect you with
the Overseas Operator for the country that you wish to
call. The Overseas Operator can then arrange all the de-
tails of the call with you. If at all possible, it's a good
idea to make the calls before or after the two peak calling
periods. That way' no reservations are necessary and
t your• call should go through quickly and easily.

lop their potential. Mrs. Web-
ster thanked Mrs. Score for her
