mmmmr ? *,**.* hbmbhib A T REST HOME - Officers of the 27-member Raeford Branch of the In ternational Evangelistic Women Workers are shown here with two of the residents of Open Arms Rest Home last week at the home. L-R with the organization 's banner are Venetcia Bratcher, secretary; Carrie Singletary, vice president; and Jensie Willis, president. The members of IEWW are women of churches, and the organization's motto is "Living To Serve." The Raeford Branch members gave the 74 rest home residents Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving Day and sang songs and said prayers. The branch also helps people in emergencies, such as providing clothing and canned goods to people left homeless by fire. Christmas Calls Should Be Limited Christmas, one of the busiest days of the year for telephone users, is just around the corner. AJthough the holiday is one of five annual holidays when discount rate apply, customers may want to avoid calling at peak times. Carolina Telephone has found that the heaviest calling periods on Christmas Day arc from early mor ning until 1 p.m. and from 6 p.m. until late night, according to J.L. Holmes, district commercial & marketing manager. Long distance is also heavy from 6 p.m. until late night on Christmas Eve. Holmes said, "The heavy calling places an unusual load on circuits which sometimes leads to delays in completing calls. People can ease telephone traffic and perhaps get their calls through faster by avoiding the heavy calling times; and by placing the calls themselves, customers can avoid the operator service charge. "When Christmas falls on a weekday, customers can call dur ing the Weekend and Night (11 p.m. to 8 a.m.) Rate Period, avoiding the busy periods, and can get rates which are even lower than the holiday rates. When Christmas falls on a weekend, customers will pay the lower discount Weekend and Night Rate (except usual dis count Sundays from 5 to 1 1 p.m.) Even when Christmas tails on a weekend, callers can avoid the heavy calling times and still get the lower rates by calling between 1 1 p.m. and 8 a.m. If Christmas falls on a weekend, and Friday and Monday are designated as a legal holiday, the holiday rate applies for in-state calls on the legal holi day. The weekend rate for calls plac ed within North Carolina is 50 per cent off the full rate while the weekend rate for calls placed out side the state is at a 25 percent dis count tor in-state calls and at a 40 percent discount for out-of-state calls. An explanation of reduced long distance rate periods can be found in Call Guide 5 in each Carolina Telephone directory. ? v ~ v m The Puhllxhor at)d Staff of The NcwH-Journul Cordiallv I p v lie You To A K ChrlHin?aH Drop-lp 1 Tburadav Afternoon I Dcccmhcr 28, 11*82 <7 i "* w. r.imooJ Ave. $ ?
