Two Minutes is all it takes, on the average, to connect you to any telephone in the country, or give you a report on your calL Some calls go through even faster if placed correctly. LIKE THIS Say you want to can Philadelphia. First thing you do is ask the operator for "Long Distance." (Prom a dial telephone dial "0" for Operator.) Give the name of the called town first, then the telephone number and the name of the person you are calling. Like this: ' "Philadelphia--Walnut 2--0100 (pause)--Mr. A. D. Jones." Placing your call this way means faster service since your first word (the name of the city), the operator is "connecting" yoar line to the line of the city called. * If you nierely want a certain number, say: "PHILADELPHIA - WALNUT 2-0100" This type of call costs less because you are willing to talk to anyone who answers. If you dont know the telephone number, just give the Long Distance operator the town name, the name and address of the person, business or organization you are calling.

After a two-reel movie showing the scenic beauty of Mrs. Popoff's far-off home, in which the members of her family played the leading roles, a delicious buffet supper prepared hv the gracious hostess was enjoyed by the following guests: Mrs. Betty Cummings and daughters, Marilyn and Pat, Mr. and Mrs Joseph Mullen of Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. Helge Davidsen, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Rochelle, Mr. and Mrs. Chase Koch, Mrs. Joseph Frisa and Mr. and Mrs. Paul Struck.

With the close of the summer season the usual round-up of dogs that have been left behind to shift for themselves will have to be made to make this a safe place for the children. --Since it is difficult to distinguish a stray from an owned dog, all dogs not having license tags on their collars that are caught on the roads will be picked up in the future.
