Ask Buyers to Watch Weighings “Cooperation of the buying public is absolutely necessary if the foul practice of short-weighing is to be stamped out,” Leo F. Martin, director of the city Weights & Measures department, declared Wednesday. Already 10 merchants have been convicted on charges of shortweighing food articles, Mr. Martin said, and drew fines ranging from $25 to $50. The drive, “cracking down” on the public-

INDIANA BELL TELLS

SOME TIME BACK when Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Hix ordered a telephone installed in their farm home near Marion—tlicy little realized what would happen. The phone they eventually got turned out to he the *500,090th in Indiana Bell Territory. Photographers and reporters who joined telephone people on the eventful day for a liole celebration of the occa sion agreed it couldn’t ha\ e happened to nicer folks. It s hard to say who was the most thrilled—Mr. and Mrs. Hix or their three children. We’ll admit to being excited, too. ^\fter all, 500,000 telephones is more than you'll find in the whole of Brazil—or Belgium—or China, to mention but a few big countries. We'll also admit that w'e’ve gained more telephones since the end of World War II than we did in all the 20 years preceding. From your viewpoint, that means you can now call more people—and more people can call you—than ever before!

RECENTLYw e got to wiui- ;

dering how many people have missed winning some radio program prize only

because they didn’t answer the telephone in time. Could happen! Particularly now, when people are out-of-doors so much. Of course, radio MC’s — like everybody else — shouldn’t hang up so quickly in the summer. Let ’cr ring longer. Naturally, if it’s your phone that’s ringing — try to answer c.\/ra fast. Aftcf all, it might mean a new

car, a trip to Hawaii or”$10,000!

LETTERS NEAR AND DEAR to our hearts arc those that come from satisfied customers praising our employees. For instance a Linton construction man writes: "Never have I experienced such splendid, efficient service.” And another from a Martinsville customer who praises our employees because they "always seem to want to be helpful.” Our employees take a wonderful pride in their work— and the service they give. So forgive us for bustin’ out with smiles when we get such fan mail . . . we’re only human.

EVERYBODY, IT SEEMS, has his own pet recipe f< r getting along with party line neighbors. Mrs. F. M. Taylor of Muncie, for example, recently stated hers this way: ". .. Don't try to do your cooking and canning on the phone.” We’ll admit we’ve a party line recipe, too. Only we can’t express it as graphically as Mrs. Taylor did. Ours simply says: "Everybody benefits when each party uses the service courteously and with consideration towards the others on the line.”

TO MOST PEOPLE —a second isn’t very important. Not so, with us. If, for example, we could chop a second off every one of the 3,000,000 calls wc handle daily— the time saved each day would equal more than a month. We’re making progress on this problem—especially on Long Distance. Today, 9 out of 10 calls go through w - hile you’re on the line. And this holds true across the state or across the nation. Try it and see!

drive originated with Marcus C. ! Stewart, editor of The Indianapolis Recorder, when figures were presented him revealing that approximately two-thirds of the students of public school!* through ! high school ages did not attend any Sunday school and were obviously being deprived of religious instruction as a potent factor in the building of their characters, j In contrast was the striking fact that juvenile delinquency remains at an all-time high rate. Edward C. Bailey director of the campaign, and circulation manager of The Recorder undertook the task of organizing the [ churches and Sunday schools for | the gigantic effort and supervis- i ing the tabulation of statistics ably assisted by Miss Mary Ellen Henderson. Sunday schools were divided in- ] to three divisions—large, medium | and small—without regard to de-! nomination and awards will be ! made on the basis of the highest percentage of increase in enrollment during the campaign which extended from the first Sunday in last May to the last Sunday in July. Three silver cups, with names engraved thereon, will be awarded in each division as follows: one to the winning Sunday school, one to the superintendent of that school and one to the church member of that Sunday school responsible for the highest number of new enrollments during the campaign. Certificates with names engraved thereon also will be awarded persons adjudged to have rendered the most meritorious service as “Sunday School Builders” during the drive. Awards will be presented on behalf of The Recorder and the cooperating pastors by Mrs. Joyce S. Thompson, The Recorder business manager. The entire cost of the campaign, approximately $2.000 including the expensive silver cups was borne by The Recorder as a contribution to elevation of the religious and moral standards of the community. The entire Indianapolis public is invited to attend as evidence of its support of this unique community effort in character building.

cheating merchants, instituted several weeks ago will continue, Mr. Martin assured the press. In pointing out ways in which buyers may be of help, he urged that they buy by the pound and insist on knowing how much per pound the article is offered for and how much it weighs, “In this way,” he said, “buyers could more easily figure the costs to themselves.” The city weights and measures director urged that merchants suspected of short-weighing or other defrauding practices, be reported to his office.
