USE OF LONG DISTANCE
I was talking to Myrt Boehl, Chief Operator, this morning
about the volume of long distance calls over the holidays.
One thing she told me came as quite a surprise, mainly
because I was sure most of you folks were aware of when
our reduced rates on long distance calls are effective.
But now I wonder, for she said on Christmas Day and the
Sunday following we had a very heavy deluge of calls right
after 6 PM.
Well, of course we want to handle your call when you
want us to, and as quickly as possible, but I feel sure quite
a lot were waiting for 6 o’clock to take advantage of the re-
duced rate.
(Read carefully now) It is not necessary to wait ’till 6 PM
on Sundays and Holidays, because the reduced rate is in ef-
fect all day.
So from now on you can go ahead and make your calls on
Sundays and Holidays any time you want to and still receive
the benefits of the reduced rate.
HOW WE MANAGE THE TELEPHONE BUSINESS
With the beginning of a new year, many folks take stock
of their old resolutions and make any changes that are need-
ed.
Here at the telephone company there’s one resolution that
never changes, no matter how many times we review it. It
is to manage the business in the best interest of the public,
employees and shareowners.
The telephone company exists for one purpose: to furnish
you the best possible telephone service at reasonable cost—
a cost consistent with financial safety and fair treatment of
employees.
Good service, of course, is our first objective. But since
the only good service is that which continually improves, a
planned program of service improvements is called for.
Improvement of telephone service is a big job, but probably
the biggest of all is expanding the telephone network.
Providing good service takes good people. That’s why fair
treatment of the company’s employees is a major manage-
ment responsibility.
Good service also takes willing owners, folks who’ve in-
vested savings in the business and depend on management to
run it in a sound, profitable manner. If their money can’t
earn a reasonable profit in the telephone business, who can
expect them to continue investing it with us?
With good earnings, we can plan ahead with confidence
and build for the future, striving always to give you the
best telephone service we can.
Call by number. It's twice as fast.

paying dues immediately.
Deadline for dues has been set
as March 1. Dues may be left
at the First National Bank. Un-
paid dues by deadline, will be-
come vacancies and these cou-
ples will find it necessary to re-
apply for membership. These
rules have become necessary

ficient operation of the club.
Dance ads will appear in the
Gazette prior to each dance.
Dance dates will also appear on
the back side of membership
cards.
A review of several of the
important rules are listed be-
low. Each member is asked to
read them and keep them in
mind throughout the year. As
any other successful organiza-
tion the dance club has operat-
ed twelve years by members
that abide by the rules. •

ing March 1.

cepted.

of 21 for single men and
20 for girls will also be
enforced. This applies to
any young man desiring
membership and also to
guests. , The membership
rulings also state that
married couples have pre-
ference to any single boy
regarding application.
5. Each couple is expected to
serve at least once during
the year on a committee
at the door or decorating
for the Christmas dance.

Diboll, Texas, Jan. 4. —
Woodward Manufacturing
Company of Austin, Texas, to
be known henceforth as Wood-
ward, Inc., has been taken into
the family of Temple Indus-
tries, according to an announce-
ment today by Arthur Temple,
Jr., President of Southern Pine
Lumber Company of Diboll,
Texas.
Woodward, Inc. is one of the
leading manufacturers of bed-
room furniture in the South-
west. Founded in the early
thirties, it manufactures a qua-
lity line of moderate priced fur-
niture in Contemporary and
French Provincial designs.
The move is the latest in
Southern Pine Lumber Com-
pany’s policy to carry forward
the manufacture of forest pro-
ducts to consumer form wher-
ever possible. Woodward is a
long time customer of the
Temple Wood Parts Division of
the Southern Pine Lumber
Company which produces fur-
niture parts for the furniture
industry.
The new Temple Industry has
approximately $1,500,000.00 per
year in sales, according to Ar-
thur Temple, Jr. It becomes the
most recent in a complex of in-
7. The club would also like
to stress the fact that
members are asked to be
considerate about the fact
that the decorations at the
Christmas dances are pos-
sessions of the club and
individuals. Please refrain
from taking any of these
decorations home as sou-
venirs. Many of these have
taken a considerable
amount of time and effort
on the part of some en-
thusiastic member, there-
for, please show your ap-
preciation of their efforts
by leaving them alone.
Out-of-town guests in the
Herbert Discher home during
the past week were Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Emshoff of Robstown
and Mrs. Owen D. Martindale of
Corpus Christi. Mrs. Clarence
Hagens and Mrs. Richard Lash-
er of Lake Charles, Louisiana
also visited in the Discher home

ning Session at Luther Hill. On

TENTH ANNUAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OBSERVANCE PROCLAIMED
TEXAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS WEEK has been proclaimed by Governor Price
Daniel for February 28-March 5. Receiving the proclamation for
the tenth annual statewide observance is John McKee (right), who
has served as State Chairman of the Texas Citizens’ Committee for
Public Schools Week since the week was inaugurated in 1950. Chief
purpose of the observance is to induce more citizens — not only par-
ents but all others — to visit the schools and see for themselves the
functioning of our democratic system of education.
PROCLAMATION.....
Austin, Texas
GREETINGS:
For each of the past ten years Public Schools Week in Texas
has been, set aside as a special time to place increased emphasis
on our educational system.
During this period, parents are encouraged to visit the public
schools, and all citizens are urged through special programs to
recognize the tremendous importance of our system of education.
Our goal is to make Texas public schools the finest in the Nation,
and to achieve this our citizens are urged to take an active in-
terest in the school systems and to cooperate with their school
boards, superintendents, principals and teachers.
Never before in our history has there been a greater need for
educated leadership. As we rush to train young people in science
and technology to keep pace with world events, it is also import-
ant to remember that our public schools will furnish our leaders
of tomorrow with the basic human, moral and spiritual founda-
tions necessary for more advanced training and knowledge.
THEREFORE, I, as Governor of Texas, do hereby designate
the week of February 27—March 4, 1960, as
PUBLIC SCHOOLS WEEK
in Texas.
In official recognition whereof, I hereby affix my signature
this 5th day of January, 1960.
