They call their favourite stores to track down bargains. Many even shop by phone . . . clally on rainy days or when they are kept at : home because of small _ children. When they feel , lonely or just feel like having a little chat, they ’ call their friends or rela- tives. And we've heard of mothers who talk to teach- ": by phone concerning any problems they may be having with their young- sters rather than attract unnecessary attention by visiting the school. The Mrs. Hunt finds tho telephone anxious mother with slck- handy for tracking down less in the home keeps in bargains. touch with her doctor by phone. When the need arises. Just a few words over the phone can relieve anxiety or relay emergency instructions that will relieve the situa- tion until the doctor arrives. These are a few of the many ways the telephone work: for folks here. Remem- ber. the telephone is there for your convenience. Use it often and enjoy culer living. A Charming Phone Personality It seems that every girl wants to be popularâ€"at least that's what we read recently in one of those frank discussions with teenagers you see from time to time. What caught our eye, though, was the youthful com- mentator’s views on how to develop a charming telephone personality. “It pays to be polite and friendly on the phone," she said, “in that way boys will phone you more often. Be cheerful on the phone and when a boy calls always answer like ; you’re glad to hear from him. After all, he may not be calling for a date . . . maybe he just wants to ask you a question about the local swimming meet. Or. he might just want to chat with you." Then she advised young readers to be careful how they accept or refuse dates over the phone. If you want to accept don't play coy and be hard to get, give him a direct answer, “Why, yes, I'd like that very much." If you have to turn him down, however. this requires more tact so that you don’t hurt his feelings. You might say 'oomething like this, "Oh, thank you so much for the invitation, but I'm afraid I’ve already made plans for the evening." As a final word of advice she said, “Yakking :for hours on the phone shows lack of consideration and datesiéiot’ help your popularity at home or with your friends 0 s e.

Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Handri- gan and daughters Bette and Shirley of Idleswlft Drive left to-da-y for St. John's Newfound- land, where Bette will be mar- ried on August 28th to Kenneth Anderson, son of Mrs. and the late Mr. James Anderson. The Handrigans spent the years from 1951 to 1959 in St. John's and Bette and Kenneth attended Grades 10 and 11 in high school there. graduating together. They then went to Dalhousie University together, for two years. When Mr. Hand- riga-n was transferred back to Toronto, Bette attended Vic- toria College here and gradu- ated last year. The Handrigan’s ties with Newfoundland were never bro- ken however, as they had built a summer cottage there and had continued to spend three months of each year there. While attending Victoria Col- lege, Bette happily was employ- ed by the T.C.A. at St. John’s for the summer months. Arrangements for the wed- dingâ€"at Oochrane Street Unit- ed Ohurch, in St. John's, have been made rather hectic by the distance involved, but all seems in order at last. Bette will be attended by three flower girls, one being her 8 year old sister, Shirley, arid three bridesmaids. A reception will be held fol- lowing the ceremony, at the Old Colon-y Club in St. John’s. The young couple will honey- moon at Charlottetown, P.E.I. and plan to live in Halifax while Mr. Anderson continues his medical studies at Dal- housie University.
