WOODSON Your Telephone Manager CAN YOU IMAGINE a speed of 70 billion times a sec ond? Well, I can’t. But our Bell scientists can, and what’s more they’re working on a gadget that will carry electrical impulses vibrating at such a fantastic rate. They call it a “wave guide.” It’s a pair of finely-made hollow copper tubes that will handle as many as 400,000 telephone con versations at a time. That’s a lot of talk, isn’t it. And for folks around town the day is coming when, if they want two or three telephone lines out to the house instead of only one, we’ll be able to add the lines without the wires! Telephone research goes on day and night to make your service ever faster, ever better—and to bring you as much as you want. . . , * * • MANY OF YOU folks in Southport already knovv how nice it is to reach for your telephone instead of having to get up to answer every time it rings, but how about those of you who don’t? Ask any one who has telephones located conveniently throughout their home and I’m sure they will tell you that the time and steps they save every day is well worth the few cents a day that an exten sion costs. Why don't you call Mrs. Carroll at 901 1 in Wilmington and order yours toddy ? * * * * * WIN FRIENDS with your telephone voice. Would you like to have a free, helpful little booklet that tells you how to develop a more pleasing and effective telephone man ner? Just ask for your copy of “The Voice with a Smile.” THE IDEA of separate directory listings for teen-agers or other members of the family is catching on. Makes it easier for friends to reach them. Doesn’t cost much, either. Call our Business Office for your listing. Mrs. James Ward, Circle Leader, opened the meeting and Mrs. Susie Carson led in the devotional per iod. Her topic was “The Heck Jones Memorial Offering". Plans were made to present a gift from the circle to the parsonage fund and to' send a birthday gift to Miss Alda Grayson, a missionary in Hawaii.

The lighthouse would be paint ed black on top, white in the mid dle and natural color on the bot tom. A unique feature of both de signs is the incorporation of the radio-beacon transmitting antenna in the structure itself.
