It takes more than arithmetic to add up the full value of the telephone when Grandmother calls up to say, "Happy Birthday'' . . . when Mother wants to tell the druggist. "Rush the order, please" ... or when Junior hears the magic words. "I'm giving a party you're invited." oW'W"' Between the calk you make and the calls you receive, the telephone is such an active partner in your daily life it's almost one of the family! Day and night, rain or shine, it serves the whole family in countless ways running errands, spreading cheer, bringing friends and loved ones closer. When you stop to think how much it does for you, at the price you pay, telephone service stands out as one of today's biggest bargains. And'it grows bigger as the number of people you can call keeps increasing and the service becomes faster and better. SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY so much value... ...so little cost Spud's Eyes. Insurance In The News WASHINGTON (UPl It ( isn't much fun having to answer about 1.173,000 questions a year and not winning a single refrigerator or trip to the North Pole for having the right answer. That's the jub done by the Agri culture Department's office of in formation. A i heck by Fred I. Zimmerman, who heads the office, showed that his staff handles more than 1,000,000 written queries a year, plus another 60,000 phone calls and some 20,000 visitors who ask their questions first-hand. Most of the questions, belter than 99 per cent, are sensible,, straightforward queries that re quire logical answers. But there is a small f ruction of the queries that stump' the department's ex perts and cause howls of glee. For instance, one woman want ed the office to tell her what color eyes potatoes have Another worri ed girl called up to find out if angora wool grows after it has 1 been made into a sweater. Other amusing queries which have plagued the department in i elude one from a man who wanted .seeds f.ir a plant which would ; grow food to make a person smart, i Another was from a woman who i was looking for spots where fresh j air could be found.

RALEIGH iL'Hi -- State ABC j Chairman Hubert W. Winston is optimistic ;:bout the outcome of his j efforts to plug t lie flow of Illinois liquor to bootleggers in dry North Carolina counties. Winston returned recently from Chicago where he conferred with the stale liquor commission. He I said commission members were sympathetic to this state's efforts to curb illegal liquor traffic. The Illinois group agreed to ask their state attornev - aeneral for rulings as to whether shipments to dry North Carolina areas were a violation of Illinois law. and if so, whether they can revoke licenses ; of w holesalers or exporters ship ping to North Carolina. Winston said if favorable rul j ings were handed down on both j questions the Illinois commission would crack down immediately on illegal shipments. The State ABC chairman said Illinois became the bootleggers supply headquarters after Mary land authorities cut off shipments from their state last July.

RALEIGH i UP) Officials of the state insurance department have culled over arguments for and against proposed cuts in fire insurance rates which would save North Carolinians nearly $1,190,000 a year. Insurance Commissioner Waldo Cheek said decisions on the pro posed changes would be made shortly. Representatives of the North Carolina fire insurance rating bu reau said that safe fire inxurannp companies collected premiums to taling $100,572,000 during the live years ending with 1948 while paving out $39,909,000 In claims for losses. Landon C. Hill, manager of the bureau, said that premiums were regarded as fair if losses reDrp- sented 50 percent of the total. He estimated that losses over the five year period were 47.855 Derrpnt on the basis that earned premiums for the period would have totaled $83,395,000. Farmers would be amonc trip greatest benefactors of proposed cuts. The proposal would reduce rates on farm homes from 85 cents, bringing them close to the city rate of 54 cents. Reductions in public school rates would result in an estimated sav ing of nearly $107,000.

All of a sudden, her best nylons just start running all over the place, like a bunch of berserk full backs. Furthermore, the "blight" seems to have spread. The latest attack in Nashville came last week, smacking some of the gir ls who work for the state in Nashville's War Memorial building. Last year, it hit the telephone company girls. The victims of the first attack two years ago were womenwork ing for a local insurance company. NASHVILCE, Tenn. The jinx on women who' wear nylons in Nashville is still working. For the third time in three years, a sort of "blight" has tackled the .ladies low. It's not a matter of a 40-yard run. It's a matter of a lot of them. A woman will just be walking IOWA CITY, Iowa UP) Tiny and pretty 22-year-old Lee Stuart planned to quit her job as a taxi cab driver jusl 24 hours after she started. On her first clay out, Miss Stu art got herself abducted by an escaping convict who alternately slugged her and tried to make love to her. He wasn't very adept at either. "He started out by asking me for a kiss." she said. "I refused. Then he suddenly started punching me and I hopped out of the car. He called me back and apologized. Then he started slugging me again. That lime I screamed good and loud. He drove off and left me standing there, miles from nowhere." Police said Miss Stuart had had a narrow escape. Her troubles began when Philip Hall, 28-year-old convict rapist serving time at the Fort Madison State Penitentiary, escaped from the University of Iowa hospital where he had been taken for treat ment of a nose ailment. Miss Stuart was answering a call in University Heights when Hall suddenly jumped into her cab, threatened her, and forced her to drive around town while he "look ed for his parents' home." Then he forced her to drive to a lonely spot three miles east of here on Highway 6. It was there that Hall began his caveman style of love-making. Hall gave up quietly near Ma quoketa, Iowa, 50 miles from here. His freedom spree had lasted just seven hours. The stolen taxicab was found abandoned just three blocks from the Maquoketa busi ness district and a block from the county jail. Miss Stuart didn't care what happened to Hall. But she was pretty well convinced that she was through with the taxicab business. "Too hard on the nerves," she said. , lflOCa MR. FARMER Be Sure You, MILK BARK PHTPTr-xt ...
