He said that, now when one line is tied up the call will be switched automatically to the second line. The caller need dial only one department num ber, he said. He also said a push-button system on office phones, and the addition of two telephones in the office, would reduce time needed to handle calls. The push-button system, he said provides communication between public health offices inside the building. Under the old system, he said, when a call came in for a specific worker, or when one wanted another, “we just stood up and hollered.” One of the additional tele phones ' has been installed in the public health nurses’ con ference room and the other in the utility room in the clinic area. A “happy” atmosphere and a sense of more room has been created by the new color scheme, Dr. Siege said. He said walls and ceilings have been painted in bright colors —some turquoise, others gold. These replace the grim light- blue of the building’s clinic and other areas. He said the change was made for the ben efit of the feelings of the pa tients. The light colors also give the impression of spaciousness to the rooms, which would have a beneficial effect on the patients’ mental outlook. 2 More 'Story Hours' Scheduled At Library The “story hour” for young children at the Southern Pines Library will continue for two more Tuesday mornings—from 10:30 to 11:30 on August 22 and August 29 — Mrs. S.
