Ohio Has More
Phones Than Ever

COLUMBUS--Ohio people have
more telephones than ever before,

mission has investigated telephone
communication in revising its
book about the State, "Ohio, an
Empire Within an Empire"
At the beginning of l949 Ohio

Though any telephone in Ohio
can be connected with any other
telephone there are actually 1872
telephone companies in the State.
Largest is Ohio Bell, with a mil
lion and a half subscribers. Next
largest is the Cincinnati and Sub
urban Bell with 2S1,000. The
100 independent telephone com,
paries have nearly half a million
instruments in use.
A part of telephone service il
Ohio is mobile, to taxicabs, auto
mobiles and trucks. 1t extends t(
boats on Lake Erie and the Ohit
Rive.
Other parts Of the communica,
tion net in Ohio are teletype cir.
cults and the telegraph. The Wes
tern Union Telegraph Co. oper
ates 10000 miles of line in Ohio
and has Offices in several hun
dred communities in the State.

IF TOM GAUDERN does his
speciality dance with Marion
Goebel, on one leg, during the Min
strel Show next week, blame it on
a lack of liniment. Tom sprained
a ligament during practice and his
search for a cure-all has failed.
Marion Goebel, wife of Council
man Bill Goebel, will be making
her initial appearance in local
minstrel. She is not only an ac-
complished dancer but can play
anything on a piano from be-bop
through Boogie to Wagner's "Val-
kyrie." If Toms sprain doesn't
respond to treatment, Marion will
probably wear a wig as she'll be
bald from worry.
ONE of the city's most beloved
residents, Tom "Grandpa"
Darlison, will be featured in a
story to be published soon in the
State Mutual Insurance Company
magazine. Mr.. Darlison will be 81
IN July. He has, had two insur-
ance policies with this company
Tor many years. Due to his age
and prompt payments, Mutual has
offered to make an exception and
to give Mr.. Darlison the full cash

Barbara Feels It's
Time To Laugh

HOLLYWOOD-One of Hol-

Stanwyck, is in the market for
good comedy.
Barbara, who is currently
working in Hal Wallis "The
Furies," said recently on the set
that she is seeking a change of
pace from her recent series of
dramatic roles. The actress, who
last year was nominated for an
Academy Award for her bril-
liant portrayal of the neurotic
wife in Wallis Sorry, Wrong
Number" hasn't made a comedy
since 1945 when she starred in
'The Bride Wore Boots" at
Paramount.
Since then she has made one
dramatic film after another and
she thinks it's time to make a
change. By the end of the year,
for example, she will have COM
pleted four films, all straight
dramas. These include "The
Lie" "Thelma Jordon," East
Side, West Side" and "The
Furies."

the cause of dental disease.
Some feel it comes from with
out, through the attack of bac-
terra and the chemicals they
produce. Others think it is
something wrong inside the
tooth which causes breakdown
of tooth substance. And again
others feel that little can be
done about it because it is a
hereditary factor. So far we do
not know all the facts. But
dentists are working on these
problems every day. Until the
last word has been written, and
method is available for pre-
venting this expensive disease,
the rules that we have men,
toned before should be fol-
lowed. First, see your dentist
early are regularly. If you need
dental care and are not able to
have dental work done the Red
Feather Toledo Dental Dispens-
ary will help give the necessary
attention to your teeth. Second,
reduce decay by mouth hygiene,
which included tooth brushing
with appropriate tooth powders
or paste, being careful of your
intake of weets, and use of
such control measures as the ap-
plication of sodium fluoride.
And last but not least, have
your dentist correct defects as
soon as they occur. Remember,
early and frequent care saves
both teeth and money and we
would be a lot happier if we
had more of both.

Recently Phyllis Calvert, the
British screen favorite, current
ly co-starring with Alan Ladd in
UNITED States Mali at Para
mount took up the old Ameri-
can custom. In the suspense
drama of a mystery murder and
million-dollar mail robbery, the
auburn-haired beauty played a
nun. So it was especially i'm
perative that she not chew while
performing.
One day the worries of assis-
tant director Francisco Day in
the gum department, were no.
ticeably heightened when Miss
Calvert arrived on the set with
a half dozen packages of bubble
gum. Someone presented them
to her during lunch hour and
the English actress industriously
tried to master the trick of max
ing the gum pop the way she
saw kids do it. The property
man, an electrician and a couple
of grips, all with youngsters al
home, gathered around her and
offered free technical advice.
In the midst of Operation
Bubble Gum Day called her to
the set for her next scene with
Ladd.
"How about your gum?" the
assistant asked. "What did
you do with. it?"
ooh, / parked it-under a
chair" she answered blithely.
isn't that what you are sup
posed to do with gum?"
And she pointed back to Di-
rector Lewis Aliens tall set
chair on which she was sitting
while conducting her gum ex-
periments.
