Plans to form a major
new telecommunications
holding company were an-
nounced Aug. 4 in St.
Louis.
To be called Southwest-
ern Bell Corporation, the
company initially will be
the parent organization of
four subsidiaries:, South-
western Bell Telephone
Company, a directory sub-
sidiary, a subsidiary that
will market complex tele-
communications systems
for businesses, and a cell-
ular mobile telephone sub-
sidiary.
The fromation of the
holding company and sub-
sidiaries is contingent on U.
S. District Court Judge
harold H. Greene’s final
approval of the Bell Sy-

By RON SALFEN
" ’ ‘Tis the season for vacations. And in memoriam to mine,'
I herewith posit the following truisms of this annual ritual:
1. The money always runs out before the time.
2. The sights are always prettier through the camera than
on the picture.
3. The tan always fades before you get back to show it off.
4. No sooner are you out-of-town than the kids are
whining, “How long ’til we get there?”
5. Your dog is never welcome.
6. Your in-laws are still weird.
Z. Growing a beard is more bothersome than shaving.
8. Part of the beach always winds up in your bed.
9. It always rains when you camp out.
10. You never have car trouble when you’re near a
mechanic. Or during business hours.
11. You always forget something.
12. You always bring more than you need.
13. you always feel slightly out-of-sorts because you’re
off your regular schedule.
14. McDonald’s is taking over the world.
15. You worry about stopping to help a stranger because
they might hurt you.
16. You feel guilty about passing up someone stalled by
the road because they could be nice people who just need
help.
17. You don’t really relax until you’re away for at least a
week.
18. Your kids start getting homesick inside a few days.
19. It was great to get away.
20. It’s even better to be back.
