Some of you might be afraid to use the telephone, because you fear rejection or don't know how to go about it. Just shrug it off and make the next call. If you could call 500 persons each day, it would take you 40 years just to reach the population in Los Angeles county. Telemarketers get hundredths of rejections every day, yet they keep on making those calls. If you are worried about the phone bill, don't.
Local calls cost nothing.
To reach a city of 50,000 would take you 200 calls per day in one year. Also in some areas calls to neighboring cities are considered local. From where I live I can reach 20 cities without spending a penny. Even if you could reach every one in your local area, which I doubt it, you could start over again or ask a friend or relative, who lives in another area, to let you use their telephone. Don't let the regular phone book fool you.
