'y I e s d the cal1 f ails T FHERE are three people to every telephone cail. If any one of them makes a mistake the cail fails. It may be the operator, it may be the person calling, it may be the person called. There are over one million local calIs in Ontario and Quebec every day which fail-"Line's Busy" -"No Answer-"No one on the line now, sir"- "Wrong Nwnber". These uncompleted calls are a serious" matter. They mean two million minutes a day wasted - congestion of traffic - constant irritation - a handicap to efficient service. Some of these cannet be avoided and some of them are due to our own errors, and many of them are due to lack of co-operation by the other *two parties. *We are constantly reducing our own errors and we are constantly striving to give the best possible telephone service at lowest possible cost. As part of this effort we are now giving publicity to common fauts in telephone usage in the hope that there may be mutual endeavour to secure .ad maintain maximum efficiency. I takes threc people to complete a caîl - if one makes a astake, the cail fails. 1It îs costing more thau $27,000,000 this llear te eztend andi improve tele- phone service in Ontario and Quebec.

PAGE PEVEN 1r TI1 Wet, Snppery Pavements call for specïilcure ~UEchances f or motor accidents mulfiply getyo pavements which are wet TIýcovered with snow or ice. Even when eupe with chiains, an automobile will not stop li so shoit a distance as on a dry pavement. Motorists and pedestrians should keep this fact in mid. Too abrupt application of brakes is the cause of much skidding. Disengaging the clutch at the saine tine emphasizes the tendency to skid, and aise detaches the most efficient brake on the auitomobile, vii., the engine itself. LI braking on a dkiddy pavement close the throttle, take the foot off the accelerator, leave the clutch engaged 80 that the engine helps the braking process, and apply the brakes GRADUALLY. Above ev'erything cisc dont lock the wheels of your vehicle by suddenly clamping down the brakes. Just before the vehide la brought to a stop, the clutch should be disengaged. On slippery pavements that are free from trafic, practice this method of controlling your automobile. The skifl you acquire may prevent an accident and perhaps save a ifé. Remmbe, too, that your brake bands pick up moistore from the pavement in wet weathe. A ret brake la not so efficient as a dry one. Driving i fail and winter bas its dangers both in city and country. By schooling yourself in handling your machine on wet or slippery pavements, your' driving wil l e saier for yourself and for other drivers. Remember your automobile is a machine. It does just what you make it do. Cur, Courtesy, and Common Sene-on the highways at ail times-but particiilarly now when new dangers are present. Highway Safety Comntittee HON. GEO. S.
