Telephone Talk by H. M. 1NABINET Your Telephone Manager THEY FLY THROUGH Mb»t folka flon l realize that many Long Distance colli fly through the air with the greateit of e»»«—not on wire*, but over high frequency radio waves. Microwave radio relay, we call It. I know you've teen those tall tower* in the country ■iuv ui wu m mii, niui uiv born-like contraptions on top. Well, radio relay bounces your voice across the country with the speed of light from tower to tower, spaced about 30 miles apart. It supplements land wires and carries hundreds of telephone conversations at the same time. Radio relay it still another way we're working together to bring people closer together. a HOW TO MAKE LIVING EASIER —A lady told me lomething the other day that make* seme. She said, "Folks arrange their furniture and appliance* to they'll be most convenient—why not their telephones, too?" (She ha* two extra phone*.) Now, the'* got the right idea about easy living. Phones where you need them most, like the kitchen, bedroom or den. Phone* in (mart colors that add just the right touch. Phone* you reach for, not run for. You know, extra phone* cost only about four cent* a day each, plui a one-time charge for color and installation. Why not order an extra phone or two now—for easier living? • • ♦ SPEAKING OP TRAVELING, nothing takes you where you want to go fatter than a telephone call. I'll bet you can think of several out-of-town folk* you'd like to visit with right now—maybe a friend "who's"been transferred, a relative you haven't seen in a long time. Why not telephone? ll'i easy to do and you'll both get a lot of fun out of it.
