Wonderful World of Sound
A chartered trip into the world of sound is scheduled for
the Jacksboro High School on October 1st, 1959.
Glenn Scott, public information supervisor of Southwest-
ern Bell Telephone Company, will appear before the group with
a program on the scientific miracles of sound reproduction
entitled “This World of Sound.”
Scott, who has brought his program to more than 1,000
Texas audiences in the past five years, will demonstrate re-
productions of the first long distance telephone call and early
phonograph records.
Using special high fidelity and stereophonic sound equip-
ment, Scott will bring the roar of a jet plane, the chug of a
locomotive, and the sound of a ping pong game into the same
room with his audience.
In a demonstration of the latest recording techniques,
Scott’s audience will discover how it feels to be sitting in the
midst of a 60-piece symphonic orchestra.
The program includes demonstrations of the various char-
acteristics of sound and explains how improved transmission
and reproduction methods are benefiting telephone users and
radio and TV fans.
Pick The Room — Then The Color
The other day, I was reading over a study made by the
telephone company which showed that the kitchen and bedroom
were the most papular locations for extension telephones.
It doesn’t surprise me because a good number of our cus-
tomers here in Jacksboro have ordered telephones for those
particular rooms in their homes.
But perhaps you’d like additional phones in other rooms —
the workshop, maybe, or the family room. All you have to do
is pick the room where you want an extension, and then call
the business office.
We’ll be happy to help you select the color that fits the
room — and within a few days you’ll have a color extension
to brighten your home and help you get more out of life.
The Old *College Try”
In the coming months, Saturday afternoons on college
campuses will mean lively football games with teams giving
it the old “college try.”
But Sunday afternoon — minus the excitement of the
winning touchdown — can be lonely for sons or daughters away
at college.
There’s an easy remedy for this, however. Just ask them
to make the old "college try” at remembering to call you
collect every other Sunday.
Who knows? They may even surprise you some Sunday by
paying for the call themselves with the dollar or two, they’ve
saved from allowance or an extra job they’ve picked up at col-
lege.
