Show PAGE FOUR SUGAR HOUSE. UTAH THURSDAY DECEMBER 10, 1959 INDEPENDENT during this busy time is to place it Christmas Eve before 6:00 o'clock even though it costs a little more." A call on reduced rates Sunday, December 20th, might be given consideration Mr. Richmond said. Phone Home This Season Telephone Bells will sound like Christmas Bells in many Salt Lake homes as they announce a happy greeting of "Hello, Mother! Hello Grandpa! Merry Christ-mas..." from loved ones far away. ' Over seven million people will be placing long distance calls oh Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to Mother or Aunt Mary, Sisters or Brothers," H. K. Richmond, District Manager here for the Mountain States Telephone Com-pany, said today. Long distance telephone lines are always busy on Christmas, not because of the large number of calls placed, but rather because of the places called. More than seven million calls are completed without delay almost every business day throughout the Bell System, but most of these are from one metropolitan area to another. On Christmas, however, most calls go to small communities through-out the nation. While there are hundreds of lines from Salt Lake, Ogden, and Provo to larger cities of the country, there are relatively few from there to the small rural communities, where Dad and Mother still live. There' may be many unused circuits between the larger cities, but the few lines out to the small towns become overloaded and calls must wait their turn. It would be impractical for the Telephone Companies to install hundreds of new lines to be used only one or two days of each year, " Mr. Richmond said. So we do the best we can by temporary rearrangements of circuits to complete as many calls as possible without a delay. Holiday calls can be completed more quickly if the persons plac-ing them would call by number and call station-to-statio- n. It takes extra time for the in-formation operator in a distant city to look up the number or complete a person-to-perso- n call. "Reduced long distance rates will go into effect at 6:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve and last through-out Christmas Day and until 4:30 p.m. on December 26th.

Quest for Miss Utah Utah's citizen soldiers will be paying more than average attention to attractive youngladies between now and February as they search for Utah's loveliest girl. Major General Maxwell E. Rich adjutant general, says the Utah National Guard is conducting its annual search for the Miss Utah National Guard of 1960. That means Guardsmen in 27 cities will choose a queen to participate in a statewide hunt for talent and beauty. The reigning Miss Utah National Guard, Marcia Wilson of Salt Lake City, was queen of the Air Guard's 130th AC and W Squadron. Miss Utah National Guard will represent her state in the annual Cherry Blossom Festival in Wash-ington D. C, later next spring. She also will be a candidate for Miss Utah, who competes in the Miss America Pageant. The queen of each unit will reign over the hometown Guardsmen's military ball on Muster Day in February. |
