YOUR TELEPHONE SERVICE

TELEPHONE CENTERS—Camp telephone centers are located off the balcony of the Service Club and in Building No. 845. In these centers, skilled telephone operators are on duty during rush hours to help you with your calls. These operators will take your calls, make change, and help you in looking up telephone numbers. This assistance will be of special advantage to you in making calls to faraway places. The same service is also offered at the Main Avenue USO.

At all three centers, a file of telephone directories is maintained for reference. Lounge facilities are provided and information is furnished regarding bus and railroad schedules, sports, shows, dances and other like events.

LOOK FOR THE BLUE BELL SIGN—Other public telephones are in day rooms, mailrooms, orderly rooms and other convenient locations ... marked by the familiar Blue Bell sign.

TO MAKE A LONG DISTANCE CALL

Every effort is being made to provide the best possible service on your calls but many long distance lines are so heavily loaded with calls that we may not be able to get them through promptly, especially during the busiest hours. Moreover, more lines to meet increased needs can’t be added now because the materials it would take must go to make war weapons and munitions.

The following information is furnished to help you place your calls and get them through as quickly as possible. Whenever you call, you can be sure that we will do everything we can to get your call through.

STATION-TO-STATION CALLS—When you will talk with anyone available at the telephone you call, please give the operator the desired place and number (if you have it), for example. “Acton, Illinois, Main 2324.”

You can find telephone numbers of persons in many cities and towns in the out-of-town directories in the Telephone Centers. If the directory you want is not there and you do not have the number, give the operator the name and address and tell her you will talk with anyone at the telephone there.

PERSON-TO-PERSON CALLS—When you want to reach a certain person, please give the operator the desired place, the number if you have it, or can obtain it from out-of-town directories available, and the name of the person wanted, as “Acton, Illinois, Main 2324, Mrs. E. R. White.”

MAKE SURE OF RATE BEFORE CALLING—When making a long distance call from a public telephone, it helps to know what the rate is and to have the necessary change ready. Attendants at the telephone centers will give you information about long distance rates, assist you in placing calls, and collect charges. From other public telephones, you can get the rate by asking the long distance operator. Also, there’s a list of rates to representative cities in the United States on the inside back cover of this handbook.

COLLECT CALLS—If you wish to make a call collect, tell the operator when you place the call and she will determine whether the charges will be accepted at the called telephone.

REDUCED NIGHT AND SUNDAY RATES—Every night from 6 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. and all day every Sunday, rates on long distance calls over distances of about 50 miles or more are lower than regular week-day rates.

PLAN YOUR CALLS AHEAD—To make sure you remember all the things you wish to talk about—and to save time and money—jot down the items you intend to mention. If you wish to spend only a certain amount on a call, ask in advance how many minutes it will pay for and limit your conversation to that time.
