Ross VanDusen your telephone manager Back in the days of the old yule log, folks said "Merry Christmas" to friends and relatives in person. Then, around 1870, Christmas cards made their appearance starting the great avalanche of cards that occurs every year at this time. It is only within the past 35 years or so that folks began picking up the telephone and sending personal Christmas greetings to their friends and relatives across the miles. But the number of such calls is rising steadily year by year, and the Christmas rush is now one of the biggest jobs telephone people are called upon to handle. This means that operators and many others responsible for your telephone service will be on duty throughout Christmas day to maintain our services and make sure your Christmas calls go through. We feel that Mrs. Gladys Hart, Miss Marjory Muskett and Mrs. Betty Hart, our operators who will be on the job, somehow symbolize the "Spirit of Service" at Christmas. "We enjoy working on Christmas Day, everybody is so consider-• -ate. We also enjoy the part we play in uniting families and friends by telephone on this very special day." On behalf of all of us here at the Bell, we would like to wish you the merriest of Christmases and all the best in health and happiness for the coming year. Now here's a special Christmas present to our customers which I think you'll all enjoy. We are offering you a full hour of delightful Christmas songs and carols and a ballet of the winter season over CBC-TV December 24 from 5 to 6 p.m. The show, entitled " 'Twas the Night Before," will feature stars like Maureen O'Hara, Rise Stevens, and John Raitt. As you know, Miss O'Hara is a famous actress of the screen and stage. She'll sing carols of her native Ireland. Rise Stevens, star of the Metropolitan Opera, and John Raitt, star of the musical theatre, will sing traditional carols and Christmas hymns. The show will also feature the Columbus Boy choir and the American Ballet Theatre. Be our guests in front of your TV set on Christmas Eve. It's an entertainment treat the whole family will enjoy. It's supposed to be true -- A woman in Denmark was asked to refrain from laughing when using the telephone. The Danish telephone system has an automatic sound tone that cuts connections when the parties are through talking. This woman's high-pitched giggle was just about identical to the sound tone and she was disconnecting her own calls. In fact, during one of her telephone chats, she cut off 48 other conversations with one laugh. Now there is no cut-off sound in Colborne's phones. So whether you laugh high, low or medium, have fun when you phone -- by all means. Mr. Gordon Warner was a Saturday tea guest of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Stickle.
