From where I sit... 61/ Joe Marsh
Finally
Talked Herself Out
A certain talkative young lady
almost spent a night locked in
“Doc” White’s drugstore.
She entered Doc’s store about
11 PM, going directly to the pay
phone. At eleven-thirty Doc went
home—not having seen a custom-
er for a half hour. Around mid-
night he got a call from the store
...she had finally run out of con-
versation fand money) and found
the front door locked tight.
Doc vowed he’d leave her there
to teach her a lesson. But Mrs.
W. spoke up: “Now you go turn
her loose. It’s hard to cut a good
conversation short — something-
only a woman understands!”
From where I sit, however,
plenty of men are as hard to pry
away from a telephone as any
female. Some people are just
naturally long-winded, while
others are the silent type —just
as some of us like coffee and oth-
ers prefer a glass of beer. The
important thing is to be consid-
erate .. -before friends start giv-
ing us the “busy signal.”

RHEUMATIC, ARTHRITIC VICTIMS
PRAISE PAIN-RELIEVING POWER OF
SAFE NEW “FILM-COATED” TABLET
Quickly Curbs Deep-Seated Pains Without Stomach Distress
Boeker
Friday.
were in Corpus Christi
If you are plagued by the misery of acute,
crippling Arthritic, Rheumatic, or Neuralgic
pains, profit by the experience of others
who now enjoy positive, blessed relief
thanks to Ar-Pan Ex — the exciting new
laboratory discovery. Helps even most-
stubborn cases of deep seated pain and
stiffness.
A Missouri
Lady Writes
Heart-warming let-
ter written bv Mrs.
Mory Creamer, St.
Louis, Mo.
1 have had terrible
pains in my knees
for over two years
and couldn’t walk
without a cane About
two months ago a
friend suggested
Ar-Pan-Ex Tablets. 1
took a bottle and the
pains left mv ler
ind by tb't time !
finished my third bottle 1 was walking without
any pains at all.'
CENTRAL DRUGS
Why Ar-Pan-Ex Helps
Ar-Pan-Ex, a formula recently perfected by
a noted Eastern Scientist, contains seven oc*
tive ingredients, scientifically “Film-Coated"
to prevent useless and distressing action in
the stomach. The “Film-Coating" dissolves in
the small intestine where ALL pain-relieving
medicine is then quickly released into the
blood stream. Uric acid is reduced and long-
tasting comfort is swiftly carried by the
blood stream bringing fastest known relief to
every pain-wracked muscle, joint and nerve.
Let Ar-Pan-Ex Kelp You
Do what Mrs. Creamer did. Enjoy a new lease
on life with safe, powerful Ar-Pan-Ex, com-
pounded exclusively for relief of deep-seated
?ain. Take this article to ony good drug-
store and ASK FOR GENUINE AR PAN EX
If your druggist is out of it, he will be glad
to order it for you. Professionally poser!

Just released, the telephone company’s
annual report for 1954 tells the story of
58,000 Southwestern Bell people working
together as a team to bring you faster
service, expanded service, courteous
service. Here are some of the things they
did to improve your telephone service.
ON THE “GROWTH” FRONT
Millions of miles of wire were built into
the system, most of it in the form of
stormproof aerial or underground cable.
Telephones in 85 communities were
changed to dial operation. More service,
improved service was brought to rural
areas.
At the year’s end, 200,000 more tele-
phones were in service than in 195)3.
More requests for private and two-party
lines were filled than ever before.
DOLLARS AT WORK
Growth like this costs money — $173l/i
million in 1954. Added to telephone pay-
roll dollars spent locally and the taxes
paid by the company, these “growth”
dollars contributed much to the pros-
perity of each of the communities in
Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma
and Texas served by Southwestern Bell.
Lost year, you talked more by telephone
than ever before. You made an average of
25 million local calls and half a million Long
Distance calls every day—about double
the number of calls just ten years ago.
INVESTMENT, EXPENSES UP
The company took in more money — but
paid out $15 million more than in 1953 for
the expenses of providing good service.
This is to be expected. As more money
is invested in new telephone facilities,
the day-to-day costs of operating a larger
system grow.
1 he balance of expenses against in-
come is watched closely because only a
financially sound telephone company
can keep service growing to meet the
needs of this and hundreds of other com-
munities in the progressive Southwest.
BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR '55
This year promises to be another good
year for telephone customers. Further
improvements in your service are plan-
ned. Still more homes and businesses will
be added to the growing circle within
reach of your telephone . . . making your
telephone even more valuable.
