Show Hints on Phoning Fathers A telephone call is the "next best thing to being there" for special holidays such as Christmas and Mother's Day. There's one holiday that's quickly finding fin-ding its place among these two popular days-Father's Day. Mountain Bell figures show that calls made on Father's Day have been increasing during the past few years. And calls in Utah lead the Mountain Bell region, with only about 10 percent fewer operator-handled operator-handled calls made on Father's Day than on Mother's Day. "There were more than 700,000 direct-dialed calls placed this year on Mother's Day and it's anticipated that over 500,000 calls will be made to dads around the world this weekend," said Kenneth O. Hill, Utah Public Relations Manager. To handle the expected increase in calls on this day, additional operators will be working to get calls completed com-pleted without delay. To insure that you'll get to talk to dad before his special day is over, however, you may want to call on Saturday instead of Sunday. Remember that it's always less expensive to dial direct and that your calls will go through faster when you call earlier in the day. |
