Heavy Holiday Calling Expected by B.C. Tel

The B.C. Telephone Co. expects more than 545,000 attempts by subscribers to place long distance and over- seas calls during the Christmas Day holiday period.

Vice-president of opera- tions for B.C, Tel, T. F. Heenan, urges those planning Christmas calls to space them over a day or’ two prior to Dec. 25 or within a day or two after the holiday rush. ‘

Mr. Heenan said Canadian telephone companies no longer take reservations for overseas long distance calls to be made at a specific time. “Additional circuits put into service over the past few years, should help to ease the load, however, there may still be some delays

Local Men Total Cars In Accident.

Two vehicles were totalled following an accident last Saturday one mile north of China-Creek Shell on Highway

jo. 3, . Driver.of the vehicles were identified as Walter Leiten- berger, 23, and Johnbridge, 43, both of Castlegar.

The Leitenberger vehicle was north bound and the Mansbridge vehicle — south bound when the Leitenberger vehcile skidded on a curve hitting head on with the Mansbridge vehicle.

No injuries were reported.

Total damages have been estimated at $1,200.

getting through” he said.

A total of about 393,000 calls were handled by the company on Christmas Day last year—while another 81,000 calls were attempted but not completed. “But many of those were repeat trys on calls attempted earlier," he added.

B.C. Tel’s interior division manager, Gordon Stenner, said that in Nelson, an estimated 28,000 direct dialed calls and 3,900 operator-handled calls will be attempted during the 24-hour period of Christmas Day this year. Mr. Stenner said that this will be a i

Tomorrow is Christmas

A Child's View

Tomorrow it is Christmas Day,

A time when children play all day With brand new games and toys and such; The day that we all love so much.

I wish I could stay up all night

And watch for Santa...What a sight ‘Twould be to see him and his sleigh Sliding down from the Milky Way Right on to our roof, and watch him Squeeze into our chimney, as slim As a boy! How does he manage?

By a wriggle and a scrimmage,

Or becoming invisible? It all seems so impossible!

To sce it happen would be nice!

To watch him slide down slick as ice

Right onto our living room rug,

Without a speck of soot to shrug

From of his red and white fur, And without a sound or a stir

To trim our tree, the stockings fill...

It would be such a lovely thrill!

But I must stay in bed until

Mr. Sun peeks up above the hill, Then Mom says I can run to.see What Santa Claus has left for me.

Former Resident Receives Top Marks in Accountants’ Exam

A Grand Forks man, formerly a student of both Stanley Humphries Secondary School and Selkirk College, has been named: top student in British Columbia among those who wrote final uniform exam- inations ducted by the

increase over 1972 attempted Christmas calls,

“We are suggesting this year that. persons planning holiday calls act now to obtain telephone numbers and area code numbers, thus cutting down on possible delays during the Yuletide rush hours,” said Mr.. Heenan.

He also pointed out that many long distance calls cost less if they are dialed directly— and many cost even less if they are placed after 6 p.m. on weekdays or any time on a Sunday.

Mr. Heenan noted that because Christmas Day falls on a’ Tuesday this year, the preceding weekend—Dec. 22 and 23—might be a good time for subscribers to place some planned holiday calls.

“This would ease. the pressure on the Vancouver toll

centre,” he explained, “which, .

in addition to handling calls throughout the province, also takes care of calls to Pacific rim countries such as Japan, Aus- tralia and New Zealand—and calls to and from other parts of Canada.”

Christmas tree has an interest- ing origin according to the latest research as put forward by local resident Jim Chapman of Kinnaird. :

It seems that Santa Claus had the flu, his wife had been nagging him, Donner and Blitzen had had an argument and were not pulling together and the elves were threatening to strike and refused to fix a loose runner on the sleigh.

And then, right after he learned that Mrs. Claus’ mother was coming to visit them, there came a knock at the door.

When the old gent opened it, he saw a little angel standing outside.

“Hi Santa,” piped the visitor cheerfully, “I've brought your Christmas tree, C.0.D.— where should I put it?”

Members of New Denver Women's Institute Enjoy Annual Christmas Dinner and Party

“New Denver Women's Institute held their annual meeting and dinner party on Wednesday of last week in the Legion. The hall was beauti- fully decorated with a shining Christmas tree in silver and rose,

The thought for the day was “Grudges”, with everyone enjoying the home cooked meal provided by members.

Reports under agriculture, citizenship, cultural, home ec- onomics, -social welfare .and United Nations were given by

each convener, showing the effort put forward in making New Denver a better place in which to live.

The WI supported finan- cially grades & and 6 ‘travel fund; the arena fund; New Denver-Silverton bursary; Luc- erne annual and the Legion poppy fund.

Members worked in the Victoria Day celebration booths with the cemetery and Bigelow Bay receiving quite a lot of work. The local library is staffed and run by members, New Books . have been added to the shelves. The Conquer Cancer Campaign and

the. CNIB drive for funds are...

also WI sponsored.

The group studied food, had speakers, saw slides on local wild flowers and had singing.and games.

Following the annual meet- ing reports, WI members sang carols and had some lively contests with prizes going to several ladies,

A march past the Christ- mas tree for an exchange of gifts followed by coffee brought the very.pleasant evening to a close.
