Your Telephone Manager
MANY OF YOU probably remember watching the Bell
1 elcphone Hour shows on TV last fall and spring So, I
thought you'd like to know this series of musicals was
recently given the George Foster Peabody Award for the
best “Television Musical Entertainment” in 1959. The
Peabody Awards are given annually to recognize distin
guished community service in television and radio by the
School of Journalism of the University of Georgia and a
national Advisory Board. You’ll be interested to know,
too, that the Bell Telephone Hour will be back on the
air the latter part of this month with a wonderful new
fall series. So watch jour newspaper for program infor
mation.

FALL SOUNDS at your
house? More footsteps, more
chatter, more coming and
going? I guess fall brings a
new spurt of energy in every
body's family. With all this
increased activity, pity poor
Mom! Now wouldn't a Prin
cess extension phone be a
whale of a help at this point?
One in the kitchen right
where Mom works, or one in
the bedroom so she can prop
her feet up (once in a while)
and relax while chatting. Princess extensions aren’t ex
pensive, and they come in such lovely colors, too. Why
not call our Business Office for more information, or ask
any installer-repairman.

SECURITY AND SAFETY. I heard recently about a
telephone operator who received a signal on her board at
2:30 a.m. Answering, she heard crying and groans. Quick
ly, she found out whose line it was, called the police who
went immediately to the home and found a lady who had
become ill and fallen to the floor. She had knocked over
a small table and her telephone was found lying nearby.
Prompt action on the operator’s part quickly sent an am
bulance to rush the lady to a hospital for treatment.
Around the clock, your telephone serves you and your
family—with peace of mind and often in unexpected
emergencies.
