For the convenience of the men at the Camp, telephone operators are on duty at the public telephones in both Service Clubs, to make change, put through calls, and give information or assistance regarding telephone service. At these operator-attended telephones, calls should be given directly to the attendant who will assign the booth to be used, and accept payment following the completion of the call. With the postpayment-type box, no deposit is required to reach the operator and no coin should be deposited until the operator requests it. Don't lose your nickel. If you are in doubt as to the type of coin box telephone you are using, be sure to read the instruction card mounted on the instrument.
Charges begin when the called telephone or switchboard answers.
Upon request, charges to most points can be billed to the called party, if he is willing to accept them. If you wish to have the charges made collect, please make this request at the time you place your call. Charges to various cities in the United States are shown on the next page. For initial periods of 3 minutes, except as designated. At operator-attended telephones, these charges may vary one or two cents, due to different tax requirements.
