2. Looking up n u m b e rs , Janie knows, is really
important. "So easy to get them mixed up,” she
explains. "W h y , I was just sure Babs’ number
was 8145 . . . but when I called her I got the drug
store. Turned out her number was 8415. So un
less I m really sure o f a number, I ’m going to
look it up in the telephone book.” T h at’s a good
tip for all of us— teen-agers and grown-ups.
3. G e ttin g th e m o st from the telephone— and
helping others get better service— depends in
rt on every telephone user. Facilities have
ubled in the West in ten years. Your telephone
is today one o f your most valuable servants . . .
saving tune, laving steps. A nd it still does its job
fo r just a few pennies a call.

Sure You Haven't A
"Blind Spot"?
It could be anything from day
dreaming while driving a car to
humming out loud at the movies.
From where I ait, it’s mighty
important to be on guard against
your own “blind spots.” The other
fellow has a right to his “share of
the road,” too—whether it’s hav
ing a taste for a temperate glass
of sparkling beer or a desire to lis
ten to some classical music if he
wants to.

Buck’s really one of the nicest
fellows I’ve ever known. But,
sometimes he gets to day-dream
ing on the road. He sort of gets
a “blind spot” to what’s going on
about him!
Now, lots of normally consider
ate folka have their “blind spots.”
I . “ Allowing a little tim e between calls,”
says Janie, "gives others a chance to call me . . .
and it’s a nice party-line courtesy, too.” So when
she’s getting the gang together fo r a picnic, or
fo r any reason needs to make calls in a row, she
waits several minutes between each one. " It ’s
simple to make friends with others on our line
I just use die telephone the way I like them to.”
