As the months passed George met some of
the dynamic leaders of reform movements, saw the
problems of dirt and ignorance out of which the’
country was trying to lift itself before the world
left it behind. The fight
of underdeveloped rural
areas to better their own lot became a preoccu-

out the time he spent in the Philippines.
George's last letter to the Post was at Christ-

following conclusions:
“Securing peace and freedom is not the job of a
government, but of individuals who are willing to
share their time and money with their less for-

LONG DISTANCE DIALING
A little. over a month later, on
November 18, Dallas exchange will
become part of the Direct Distance
Dialing network falling under Area
Code 717. At this time long dis-
tance calls coming into the Dallas |
area will employ the Area Code
number 717 plus the 7 digits of the
called party’s number.
Until now, 2-5 humbering was
employed to allow an exchange’s
participation in the nationwide toll
dialing network. Under this plan,
exchanges were given exchange
name designations such as ORchard
plus a five digit number. The num-
ber, when dialed, would call for
dialing OR and the five digits.
With the change in October, Dal-
las numbers will have seven digits.
The first three numbers [Landis
said, will be 674 or 675. For exam-
ple, a typical Dallas number will be
listed 675-1816. The new numbers |
will make the company’s Dallas ex- |

RUNNING OUT OF NUMBERS
of the matter is that the mation’s |
telephone system is doing away!
Peculiar as it |
may seem, the reason is that the |
telephone people are running out of |
— of all things, phone numbers,
Since 1950 nearly 25 million |
in this |
country. Each one needed a num- |
ber with a word prefix that people |
could understand, like ORchard, |
NEptune or EVergreen. The prob-
lem of finding such prefixes was
getting tougher all the time. After |
a lot of study, the experts concluded
that there was only one thing to do
to still give the folks the service
they want: Change the system.
So, eventually phone numbers |
won't be partly letters and partly
numbers, like 'ORchard 51816 but
all digits: 675-1816. ‘‘All numbers
can be remembered for a short-time |

Roaring Lions Challenge Meek Kiwanis Club To Baseball Game
By - WILL. WIMBLE
It is seldom that persons acquaint-
ed in these parts who are in their
right minds entrust us with any im-
portant assignment. Most people who
know us wouldn't expect mich from
us, and consequently wouldn't put
us in charge of anything they wanted
done properly.
So it was with some surprise that
we were asked by the Lion’s Club to
deliver a challenge to the Kiwanis
Club.
It seems that the Lions are spon-
soring a Donkey Ball Game at Dallas
High School Stadium on the after-
noon of August 11 and are looking
for a local organization to furnish
the opposition.
How they came to prefer the Kiwa-
nis Club is beyond us bécause we
wouldn’t dare to suggest that they
resemble ‘donkeys.
On occasion they have been known
to act like donkeys, but we would
rather not mention that and just
assume that this challenge is a mere
coincidence.
Anyhow, James C. Thomas and
Richard Myers, who are in charge
of this Donkey Baseball Fracas, seem
to feel that the Kiwanis boys would
fit the bill. perfectly.
“Every one of them has long
ears,” stated Mr. Thomas.
We were curious about what a
J
Donkey Baseball game is and in-
interested.
“Mr. "Thomas explained that the
game is played in the usual manner
except that the players are all
mounted on donkey-back and must
perform their chores in a mounted
position.
“No wonder you are challenging
the Kiwanians,” we ejected. “They
can’t bat 005 with both feet on the
ground.”
“Yeah,” agreed Mr. Thomad, * ‘we
think they'll be a real pushover.”
“Maybe they won't accept,” mused
we, “It's rumored that they're all
well up in years in that club, and
quired politely without seeming too

the exercise may finish them.”
“I'm not bothered about their

afraid they all have a foot-wide yel-

as we wended our way homeward.

lenges the Kiwanis Club of Dallas to

Although carrier delivery of mail
has curtailed to some extent what
might have been normal box, stamp

area has offset any advantages
gained in lessened post office traffic
by the advent of carrier delivery.
Shortly before his death, Post-
master Polacky advocated a new lo-
cation where there might be park-
ing space for at least fifty cars.
There is now no provision for em-
ployees’ cars and little or no plat-
form space or turning room for ar-
riving and departing Post Office |
Department trucks.
More than a year ago, representa-
tives of the Post Office Depart-
ment's Real Estate Section. were
here with completed plans for a
new Dallas Post Office Building. At i
that time a number of sites were
viewed but no publicity was given
either to their visit or the sites
favored. Since that time there have
been no further developments al-
though such visits, according to
veteran postal administrators, are
frequently followed by the con-
struction of a new building.
Just what the
Post Office Department will be -
under these circumstances remains
to be seen. Will
