TELEPHONE CALL
CAN SAVE YOU
TIME AND MONEY

Today's tip from an ex-
pert:
Don't waste time and
money writing a lot Of let
tiers for hotel reservations
when you can usually make
them all with a telephone
call. That's the advice Of
Herbert c. Blunck, general
manager Of the Statler
Hilton here.
Many travellers are not
aware Of the valuable res
ervation service offered by
a large number Of hotels"
Mr.. Blunck said.
This out-of-town reser-
walton system, which is
maintained by such corpo-
rations as Hilton, Sheraton
and Intercontinental, as
well as such resort opera
tons as White Sulphur
Springs and The Green
brier, enables a person to
make immediate hotel res
ervations for practically
any city in the world by
means Of just one tele-
phone call.
I'm the Hilton Hotels
Corporation, for example,
each of the 80 hotels
around the world operates
an out of town reserva-
tons department.
This is also true Of the
other hotel corporations.
The service saves travellers
valuable time, money and
effort and is available to
anyone by means Of a sin
gle telephone call"

TIL E P A S T
By CAROLYN LLOYD

In a gathering which included
teachers as well as parents, some
of them both, the conversation
turned to the imminent opening of
school. Someone asked the newt
able question, "Are children any
worse than they used to be?"
The answer from most of the
teachers was, "Not worse, just diff
ferent."
From the reminiscing that fol-
lowed, it is obvious that the beha-
vior of students, as far as Adde'S
cent horseplay is concerned, is far
better than it used to be. The
story was told of the two boys
(now both perfectly respectable
grown men, who climbed up into
the belfry of the old school build
ing here, pulled the ladder up
after them, and sat there alter
nately ringing the bell and waving
at passers-by. Imagine the frus-
tration of the teachers and the
principal who couldn't reach them.
Then there were the boys who
one day gathered up all the Latin
books and threw them out the
widow, having dropped the books,
they We're advised forthwith to
drop the course, which was prob
ably what they wanted all the
time.
Such cut-ups in the old days
were often bundled off to board
ing school by desperate parents;
though sometimes the parents or
the principal found the proper dis
ciplinary measures to save the
school from destruction. Somehow
most of these boys turned into
solid citizens who would be horri-
fled at the idea of their sons do
ing the same things.
Misbehavior among students to-
day usually takes a more subtle
form, and sometimes the subtle is
more difficult to deal with. There
is always the comforting thought,
however, that every generation
eventually grows up.
There was humorous reminiscing
about teachers, too, of course. One
whose petticoat always showed
may have been bit puzzled when
she received a Christmas present
from some of the most mischiev-
Gus boys in her class. 1t was a
purple petticoat. Purple lingerie
was stylish in those days; and /,
too, had a teacher who always
showed a touch of purple when
she sat-only it wasn't her petit
coat.
Now it is about time for a new
year. Before it is over, some pupil
will do something that he thinks
is very daring and original. II
won't be though. Some teacher will
probably remember having done
the same thing himself and be
ready to cope with the situation.
