PLAN AHEAD! This is the time of year I like to get out
and look over the summer's crop of new homes. They re
all mighty niee—so pretty and modern. Of course, as a
telephone man. I especially like to see the ones that are
‘'telephone planned.” This means telephone outlets are
prearranged so a new home owner can have as many as
he wants just where he wants them. Then, if there’s only
vne phone to begin with, others can be installed later
without any trouble. The wiring is concealed, and there’*
no need to run wires around doors and woodwork. Look
for the Telephone Planned Home symbol when you go new
house hunting. If you're building your own new home (or
even just remodeling your old one), call us and we’ll be
happy to help you with your telephone planning.

PHONE AHEAD: Just as
July is a heavy building
month, it’s also vacation
month—probably the most
popular of the summer. So.
remember, when you’re
traveling on the highway,
take it easy! No reason to
hurry! If you’re going to
be late or if you’re worried about reservations, just call
ahead. You’ll find convenient outdoor telephone booth*
ready to serve you most everywhere you go.

IS THIS TAX FAIR? Somewhere recently I came across
this little view of the past. It seems that in ancient Egypt
the life of a tax collector was no cinch. Many were often
attacked by the taxpayers, smeared with honey, and left
tied to ant-hills. Em certainly glad times have changed
because the phone company a tax collector of sorts. The
tax we are required v, coiled* from you for the government
is the excise tax—the extra i 0% added monthly to every
one’s telephone bills Origo'jaiiy, this tax was a war-emerg
ency measure, but you ».t:i! pay it today. No other house
hold utility is subject to such a tax, so in fairness to all
it’s high time the Federal excise tax was abolished.
the whole world. Attractive end
papers for the book are by A. Or
baan.
Beautifully drawn end-papers al
so appear in the new book, “'The
Small Woman,” a fascinating- story
of an English maid who became
a legend in her own life-time be
cause of the extraordinary mission
work she carried on during the
war in China. She dreamed of go
ing to China—and go she did, de
spite her lack of training, lack of
the language and lack of funds.
In 1930, equipped with railroad
tickets, a Bible and two pounds,
nine pence, she travelled alone
across Siberia to a remote moun
tain town in China. Her life be
came a series of adventures: She
quelled a prison riot, rescued a
child from a child-dealer, convert
ed a mandarin to Christianity, was
beaten by Communist invaders, led
100 homeless children to safety
across a mountain wilderness. She
is now in England and continues
her career by preaching in that
country.
In “The Hidden Persuaders,”
Mr. and Mrs. American Reader are
given opportunity to gain a great
deal of insight into the large-scale
efforts made to channel habits,
thoughts and purchasing power in
to directions coveted by manufac
turers and advertisers. Illustra
tions are given by the author,
Vance Packard, of insights gained
through psychological and social
sciences into the most effective
ways of separating the purchaser
from his—or perhaps more often,
her—dollars.
These are only a few of the num
erous new titles offered at the li
brary. There are a number of
new novels, among them Roark’s
“Lady and the Deep Blue Sea”;
Harwood’s “So Merciful a Queen.
So Cruel a Woman,” a story re
volving about Queen Elizabeth;
and "Day of Battle,” Van De Wat
er. Ten new Westerns, most of
them at the top of the list of “the
best of the year,” also are now
available to the reading public.
One of the most enchanting new
stories of the season is the true
adventure book, “Face to Face,”
presenting the autobiography of
.Mehta, a blind Hindu youth who
comes to America to study.
A recent gift of the Tea and
Topic club is the attractive book,
“The Book of the Seven Seas” by
Fretichen. Another gift book is a
memorial to the late Dr. S. S. Cool
ey. This is the newest volume
in Winston Churchill’s -'History of
the English Speaking Peoples” and
tells of "The Great Demagogues.”
Edwin Way Teale’s beautifully il
lustrated "Autumn Across Amer
ica” is also available at the li
brary this season, as is Jean Kerr’s
hilarious collection of essays on
antics of her family. “Please Don’t
Eat the Daisies.”
