Many Christmas
Long Distance calls
will be delayed
We simply cannot build enough long distance
lines to carry the flood of calls that develops after
7 p.m. on Christmas Eve. It is as if thousands of
citizens in hundreds of cities and towns rushed
to the station to catch a seven o'clock train. Or,
as if all the Christmas cards were presented at
each post office at the last minute.
We're sorry, but delays are inevitable—on
Christmas Eve and again on Christmas Day.
We have done all we can to make ready for a
big rush, but we know it will get bigger than
that. Please be patient with us. We will be work-
ing every minute to catch up.

In Memory of My Mother
Mrs. Leona Pritchard
I cannot say and I will not say
That she is dead; she is just
away,
With a cherry smile and wave of
the hand
She went into an unknown land.
She left us dreaming how very
fair
It needs must be, since she lin-
gers there;
Oh, how I so often yearn
For her old time steps and her
glad return;
I think of her faring on, as dear
'In the love up there as the love
of here.
Oh how sad to think of mother,
Still as the same;
I say, Mother is not dead,
She is just away.
A daughter,
Mrs. Lewis Waters.
