few days after the change.
In addition, waiting for the sec
ond dial tone on calls from Green

Bridgeville subscribers will also
be able to dial directly to both
Greenwood and Seaford, by dialing
IS" and 80" respectively and then
the called numbers, without wait
ing for a second dial tone.
Harrington subscribers calling
Greenwood, however, will continue
to dial "81" and then wait for the
second dial tone before dialing the
desired number.
Mr.. Collins said the company is
spending another $4,000 in build
ing new cable and wire lines this

deeper and deeper
until nothing was visible.
1t was so cold over the whole
world that nothing could grow. Then
Old Man Winter cried out, "Now I
am truly king of the universe.
Everywhere I look, I see nothing
but my own handiwork!"
And Jack Frost answered, eyes,
Master"
Then Old Man Winter puckered
up his lips and blew a fearful blast
just to show how strong he was. 1t
was by far the worst storm that had
ever happened on earth, and when
it was over, Old Man Winter was
tired.
"Ho, hum" said Old Man Winter.
II believe l deserve a rest. l haven't
slept in years. But there is enough
snow on the ground to last many
many years. l think 1 can sleep safe
ly now"
Jack Frost answered, eyes, Mas
ter" for he was also tired.
So Old Man Winter and Jack
Frost went to sleep. They slept and
slept and slept, because it had been
so long since they had had any
kleep.
Now it happened that this was
just the chance the Spring Fairy
had been waiting for. Many years
before, a wicked witch had cast a
spell on the Spring Fairy.
She said, Until Old Man Winter
sleeps, you, Spring Fairy, will be
banished from the earth, and Old
Man Winter will be king!
So for all the years of Old Man
Winters reign, the Spring Fairy had
floated around in the air waiting
and hoping that Old Man Winter
would get so tired he would have
to sleep. Which, of course, is just
what happened.
Then the Spring Fairy laughed
merrily. Very gently she blew the
clouds away from Jolly Mr.. Suns
face, and he beamed forth.
"Thank you, Spring Fairy" he
cried. my, it's good to be able to
shine again! And he shone so hard
that the snow began to melt and
run into little brooks, and into rivers
and finally into the sea.
Before long the snow was nearly
all gone. 1t was then that Old Man
Winter, feeling rather warm, awoke.
He looked around in dismay. What
had happened to his beautiful snow?
"Jack Frost" he roared, "Come
here! But Jack Frost was still
asleep and didn't hear him.
Old Man Winter tried to blow a
wintry blast, but he had lost his
power. ooh DEAR" he moaned. Now
I am no longer king"
'~That is true" said the Spring
Fairy gently. "But I won't always
have my power. In a few months,
you can come back and make it
snow again. 1t is much better for
us to share the world"
"Yeu are right" answered Old
Man Winter, t~houghtfully. $50 I
guess I will take another nap
And he did.
And that, boys and girls, is why
we have spring coming after winter.
