Does it work?
ai Dallas Post/Dotty Martin
Russell Parsons, of Haddonfield Hills, Dallas, utilizes the
Phone Test Center offered by Commonwealth Telephone Co.
The center allows customers to take their telephone
equipment to Commonwealth's Service Center and test it.
The customer can then determine whether a problem exists
in the telephone equipment or in the connection from his
home to the telephone network.

but also considers it a necessary
step in the progress of the telecom-
munication industry.
When Commonwealth instituted
its sales implementation program
and entered the retail phone busi-
ness, Stallone said the company
made a commitment to its custom-
ers.
‘‘We have made a commitment to
our customers and we are here to
help them,” she said. ‘We look at
ourselves as one-stop shopping
because whe help with everything,
not just the terminal equipment.”
The terminal equipment on dis-
play at Phones & More includes
such items as answering machines,
pagers, dialers, key systems, a’
working display on push button sys-
tems and a vast array of telephones
themselves.
The center will be open daily from
8 am. to 5 p.m. and until 8 p.m.
Thursday and Friday evenings
before Christmas. It will be staffed
by two full-time employees who will
be available to answer customers’
questions and explain the functions
of all equipment.
Commonwealth customers will
also be able to pay their monthly
phone bills at the new Phones &
More Store.
The new phone center will feature
a “Phone Test Center,” a computer-
ized machine that allows customers
to check their telphones themselves.
By plugging the telephone into the
modular jack in the machine, a
customer must only follow the
directions on the machine to find
out whether or not a problem exists
The United States Bureau of
Census will conduct a regular
survey of employment and unem-
ployment in the Back Mountain ara,
during this week (Dec. 12-17),
according to James F. Holmes,
Director of the Bureau's Regional
Office in Philadelphia.
In addition to the usual questions
ber survey will include others con-
cerning hired farm workers. Some
of the questions that will be asked
concern the number of days hired
farm workers did farm and non-
farm work, their wages for farm
and nonfarm work, an the number
of farm wage workers migrating to
other counties and states to do farm
Works.

“We could have discontinued the
service of offering telephones to our

Blood drive
big success
A recent blood collection at the
Gate of Heaven School gymnasium
in Dallas sponsored by the Back
Mountain Blood Council exceeded
its target goal of 210 units with 224
units of blood collected.
Paul Hodges, director of donor
resources at the American Red
“very successful in spite of the
inclement weather.”
“Qur collections,” said Hodges,
‘have consistently fallen below
target for the last five months. This
was one of the few collections to
exceed its goal.”
Hodges credits the success of the
drive to the hard work of the Back
Mountain Blood Council and the
assistance of the Gate of heaven
Altar and Rosary Society, students
of College Misericordia and the
Dallas Senior High School.
A team of about 50 callers from
these groups made approximately
1,250 phone calls to recruit donors.
About 40 of the donors from Offset
Paperback Company in Dallas were
transported by that firm to the site
of the drive while Dallas Senior
High School Key Club members
provided volunteers to work at the
bloodmobile.
Another plus for the drive were
the three television sets on the
premises that accommodated foot-
ball fans, compliments of Katyl’s
TV in Dallas.
This was the second collection in
the Back Mountain under the Deca
Donor Club system with 32 people
receiving pins in recognition of five
consecutive blood donations.
Hodges said a total of 132 people
have received Deca Donor pins to
date at that collection with 120
additional people signing up for the
club.
