Telephone Co, Add to Toll p Line Service The first step by The Lincoln Tel phone and Tclcgraoh com pany toward integrating its long distance facilities in the nation wide toll dialing program was initiated recently with the order ing of special inter-toll dialing equipment for installation at Te cuseh. C. C. Donley, general traf fic superintendent, in making the announcement explained that the purpose of inter-toll dialing is to permit long distance oper ators to dial subscribers at other towns direct without routing calls through operators at those points. The benefit to the public is in faster and more efficient service. The procedure, however, will involve no change in the customer's method of placing long distance calls. Customers will dial and ask for "Long- Dis tance" just as' they always have. The company's plan in its first phase is expected to be complet ed late next year, Donley said. It will permit long distance op- crators at Lincoln, Beatrice. Ne braska City, Falls City and Au burn to dial subscribers direct at Tecumseh. Adams', Sterling. Burr. Cook, Crab Orchard, Elk Creek, Johnson, Burchard and Table Rock. It also will permit Tecumseh operators to dial sub scribers direct at Lincoln and other dial exchanges reached via Lincoln and such as Plattsmouth, Seward. Elm wood and others. Progress toward nation-wide toll dialing is' being made in many sections of the country at the present time. For example, operators in 13 eastern cities, in cluding Chicago, can now dial subscribers at New York City direct. The Lincoln Company is looking forward to the consum mation of the plan by making provision for the installation later on of inter-toll dialing equipment at its dial exchanges as' well as those being- converted to dial operation. A major in stallation will be made at Hast ings where a new telephone building is being erected for the installation of dial service. Fifty three of the Company's 121 ex changes are now dial operated. Name Korn Karnival Countesses $'4Ti?ZL1&'2& 4s Vft- v?

The woman's division of the Chamber of Commerce is taking an unofficial check of the resi dents and when the results are tabulated it will be possible to find just how the population stands. Not only are they counting noses' as to population but also are checking the population for school purposes and taking a '"religious census" for the serv ices cf the churches. This is an excellent idea and might be employed here where there is' little doubt that the city has frown greatly in population since the 1940 census. At that time there was 4,268 persons list ed as residents of Plattsmouth, living in the ordinary residential Thomas Wallmg ;Cub Scouts Prepare ! Visits on Coast For Fall Season ! Thomas J.

Mr. j Tucker is a student at Amherst, ; Mass., and will resume his col- lege work on his arrival home. The Tucker's have just returned from an outing at the Minne- ' sota lakes. j LEAVING FOR CALIFORNIA Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Petet left today (Thursday) for a two weeks' outing to be spent on the Pacific coast with friends. They are stooping- for ashort time at Los Angeles and Santa Anna, s'eason and getting their plans outlined for the coming- year with a great deal of interest shown in the work by the young members and their leaders. The dens held their picnic party for August the past week and a fine group of the Cubs and their parents were on hand to join in the festive occasion. There was plenty of good things to eat and the members of the group had all the ice cream that they might desire, afforded them by the Tasftee shop and this was the climax of a very fine time. Wayne Feldhousen was gradu ated from the Cubs to the regu lar advanced Scouts and was re ceived into troop 365, of which Gene Lingford is the scoutmaster. Wayne was welcomed into the Scouts by John Bergmann, Jr., in an appropriate way and will now be ready for his advance ment work. The Cub leaders are preparing to have the dens filled to full strength for the coming year that promises to be a very suc cessful one in every way.

"Yes dear you always were right the other fellow always wrong. That's why we're here." You know the kind, you've met him on the road and ducked. He always barges through traffic when it's a question of split-second judgment. Never anticipates other drivers' actions just assumes that traffc will give way. Owns the road. Drives with his horn. He may get away with it for a time plus a few tickets because other drivers are more careful, more conscientious. But his kind eventually steps on the gas once too often and for the last time he is "right dead right!" 4,000 people died last year because "know-it-all" drivers violated rules of the road and the courtesies of driving. Good drivers never need to hold ceme tery post-mortems. They drive carefully and live longer. THIS LABOR DAY SAFETY AD SPONSORED BY Al Huebner's "66" Station Plattsmouth Motor Parts Co.
