I guess she noticed the curious look on my face because she immediately explained that she meant the tubes. This is what they're called in England, and when you consider that a valve is something that controls flow, and a tube controls the flow of the signal, their word for it is more precise. I learned that radios were wifeless and the TV set is called 'the telly'. You have 'transportables', 'portables' and 'mains' which mean battery sets, small house current models and consoles according to our meaning. Their house current is 220 volts instead Wi our American 120 system. We're glad that she phoned CUSTOM T.V. for TV service.1 We have a new customer now and learned something besides. | All our English neighbors can i phone EV 5-8757 or 5-5659 now and we're sure to know what they're talking about. ••• O o*1 To encourage thrift, we offer these valuable gifts for depositing $100, $200 or more in a new or old savings account Limit of one gift per depositors, , Bee. 11 to Jan. 31 PEPPER MILL SET Delightful Pepper Mill and Matching Salt Shaker set Natural maple with gleaming chrome tops, 4" high, complete with peppers for grinding.
