LEAVE PHONE BEHIND Colored telephones are convenient and handy in all areas of the home, and they’re decorative too. Like other telephone equipment, colored phones remain the property of the telephone com pany. That’s so we can repair them if they should ever fail or replace them when they reach retire ment age. We urge you to use them, enjoy them, but leave them behind when moving. Your Bell System busi ness office will not make a second color charge for colored sets and Princess telephones at your new location when moving within the Bell System. RESEARCH FROM BELL TEL LABS HELPS SAVE LIVES! In the Optical Device Department at Bell Tele phone Laboratories, scientists have developed a type of continuously operating argon laser which promises to have important medical benefits. The laser, a concentrated and highly powerful beam of light, has already been tned soc- cessfully as a “light” knife in performing bloodless surgery on cancerous tumors. Telephone people don’t just work on improving our telephone service; they wock on improving many areas of our lives. IF THERE’S SOMEBODY IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD— an aunt, a grandmother, or whoever—whose last name is different from yours, friends may have difficulty in locat ing her in the phone book.
