Creager suggested several ways by which telephone users can help speed the handling of holiday calls:- 1. If possible place Christ mas greeting calls an evening before Christmas Eve. There will be a better chance of getting through. 2. If you are planning ; a holiday call and don't have the number, call the long distance operator before Christmas and she will help you get it. She will also give you the- proper route for placing the call. 3. When you place your call, give the operator the telephone number and rout ing information for the person you are calling.
