where your mouth is.
A lot of people have
been shootingatthe telephone
companies these days.
And, in truth, we've had our hands
full keeping up with the zooming demand
for increased phone service.
But General Telephoneand, inall fairness,
the other phone companies haven't been
sitting around counting dimes.
For some time now. we've been payinga healthy
phone bill” ourselves trying to make our service do everything
you expect of it. And a few things you don't expect.
During the next five years we’ll be spending millions of dollars
in the areas we serve upgrading and expanding every
phase of our phone operation. From laying underground
cables (an important, if invisiblearea) tocustomer
contact service (an equally important, but highly visible area).
But no matter how much we spend on equipment and
expansion, it’s what we do for you i n your home or business that counts.
Ladies and gentlemen, we’re working as fast as brains, manpower
and money can combine to make our service as efficient as possible.
The people you can talk to One-to-One.

PROGRESS in the fight against heart and blood vessel diseases
since 1950 is reflected in this chart. Based on the latest vital*
statistics, about 253,000 Americans below 65 now die of these
diseases in a single year. Had the 1950 death rate persisted, the
toll would have been about 302,000. This would indicate that
about 49,000 lives are being prolonged yearly.

Do you really want
your brother-in-law to
know how much
you earned last year?
nr
Of course not. It’s nobody’s business
but your own.
However, annually millions of tax-
payers bear this kind of per-
sonal information to people
who really shouldn’t
know. For what? Just
so they can save a
few dollars doing
their income tax.
That’s some price
to pay.
You see, for only
a few dollars more
than it costs to do it
with any amateur who
might not know that
work clothes in some in-
stances are deductible, or that
income averaging might save tax
dollars, you can have your tax return
done by a specially trained member
of the H&R Block team with com-
plete confidentiality. There are thou-
sands of them in over 6,000 conveni-
ently located offices. H & R Block’s
fees start at $5 and the average cost
was under $12.50 for the 7 million
families we served last year.
9 A.M. — e P.M. WEEKDAYS
a A.M. ~ 5 P.M. SATURDAYS
PHONE 884-241«
NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY
Furthermore, if your return is
audited we will accompany you, at
no extra cost, to the Internal Reve-
nue Service and explain how
your return was prepared,
even though we will not
act as your legal rep-
resentative.
This means that
H & R Block is
ready to offer you
year ’round tax
? service for just one
low fee a year, with
no extra charge for
audits and estimates.
Yes, we cost a little bit
more than your relatives
or friends or neighbors but
when you think of what we deliver,
you can’t afford anything less than
H & R Block.
DON’T LET AN AMATEUR DO

Now it’s just an antique, a relic of a bygone era. Formerly it served a practical purpose, a
special need. Today, Grandfather’s horseless carriage is completely outmoded.
Some philosophies are also out of date. New ideas grip our minds and challenge the intellect
We would not want a “horse and buggy” philosophy in thiB modern world of growth and change.
Some things do not change, for they are eternal. For example, man’s soul and his need of God.
No modern invention can ever make God and the Church obsolete. Society is different today thaw
it was in Grandfather’s day, but man’s spiritual needs are the same.
Discover the value of the timeless in the midst of time. Worship God in your church this week
n and find the eternal truth which spans the ages.
