phone. In the twinkling of an eye Loved ones at the extreme ends of the
country are brought together over the telephone.
Filial devotion demands that the children who have grown and left the “old
nest” keep in touch with home.
Time, distance and bad weather are eliminated as objections to visiting the
folks at home, by the telephone.
