Show I FRANCE TO REVTSE i THEIR TELEPHONE BOOK j Tt is reported that France is to ! have a new telephone directory this j year to replace the present one, (which is dated 1917. The fact that ! about half the names and numbers In t'he 1917 directory are no longer j correct Is a considerable handicap to . French telephone users and although there are supplements designed to bring it up to date, it requires a good ; deal of patience to look through the supplements as well as the book itself, it-self, before calling the number. It ! has been suggested that the French government publish a new telephone I directory every year hereafter, and j the proposition :has found considerable consider-able support in the press, but it is ! said that the authorities consider it j would be too expensive. |
