Show Telephone Father on Sunday Andrews says he anticipates no unusual calling problems this Father's Day (Sunday, June 20). Extra telephone operators have been scheduled to handle the slightly higher calling volumes. If you plan to call your father, direct dialing a long distance call is still recommended as the best way to save time and money on Father's Day. . . or any other day. Every year just before Mother's Day, Mountain Bell gears up to handle the millions of telephone calls placed on that special day. Not so on Father's Day according to the phone company. "Over the past years, figures show that twice as many calls are made on Mother's Day than on Father's Day," explained Mountain Bell exchange manager Mike W. Andrews. He said he didn't really know why fathers aren't called as much as mother. One reason may be that Mother's Day is a . more established tradition than is Father's Day. |
