calling by names. Instead, if one wants
Bill Smith’s store, one looks in the di
rectory. finds the number, picks up the
receiver, and when central says "Num
ber. Please,” the correct way will be to
give the number of Bill's phone. In fact,
the only way to get Smith's store will
be to give the number.
The new directories are being printed

ready for distribution the last of this
