BELL LINES By S. Ross VanDusen your telephone manager MAKE YOUR PHONE WORK FOR YOU Every day folks in Colborne are finding more and more ways to make the telephone work for them. They call their favourite stores to track down bargains. Many even shop by phone . . . especially on rainy days or when they are kept at home because of small children. When they feel lonely or just feel like having a little chat, they call their friends or relatives. And we've heard of mothers who talk to teachers by phone concerning any problems they may be having with their youngsters rather than attract unnecessary attention by visiting the school. The anxious mother with sickness in the home keeps in touch with her doctor by phone. When the need arises, just a few words over the phone can relieve anxiety or relay emergency instructions that will relieve the situation until the doctor arrives. These are a few of the many ways the telephone works for folks here. Remember, the telephone is there for your convenience. Use it often and enjoy easier living. A CHARMING PHONE PERSONALITY It seems that every girl wants to be popular -- at least that's what we read recently in one of those frank discussions with teenagers you see from time to time. What caught our eye, though, was the young commentator's views on how to develop a charming telephone personality. "It pays to be polite and friendly on tHe phone," she said, "in that way boys will phone you more often. Be cheerful on the phone and when a boy calls always answer like you're glad to hear from him. After all, he may not be calling for a date . . . maybe he just wants to ask you a question about the local swimming meet. Or, he might just want to chat with you." Then she advised young readers to be careful how they accept or refuse dates over the phone. If you want to accept don't play coy and be hard to get, give him a direct answer, "Why yes, I'd like that very much." If you have to turn him down, however, this requires more tact so that you don't hurt his feelings. You might say something like this, "Oh, thank you so much for the invitation, but I'm afraid I've already made plans for the evening." As a final word of advice she said, "Yakking for hours on the phone shows lack of consideration and does not help your popularity at home or with your friends outside." EASY TO REMEMBER We recently heard about a forgetful fellow who asked his friend the extension phone number of a mutual acquaintance he wished to call. "It's 5390," was the prompt reply. "How can you remember numbers so well?" asked the forgetful one. "By tying them in with something specific," said the friend. "This one is easy -- 53 is my age and 90 is how I feel." We wonder how that method works with wives' birthdays. Speaking personally though, when it comes to phone numbers we'll stick to the old fashion tried and true method of looking the number up . . . it's safer!
