To instite proumt fandling of war calls we are obliged to ask long distance users to refrain from placing social or business calls that are not essential.
If you feel you must make a call that is not essential to the conduct of the war, and you cincounter delay, will you please consider cancelling the call? Delay means that war calls are walting!
Station-to-Station Calls
If you will talk with anyone wlio answers the number you are calling. it is, a station-to- station call .: Dial the Operator and tell her the city[ state and the telephone member. If you don't know the number, say "Et. Loilis, Missouri, Anyone
