Personal
Telephone Numbers
FOR your convenience in telephoning, and
to help reduce wasteful calls to "Information",
we have reprinted "Telephone Numbers", a book-
let for listing names, and addresses, and tele-
phone numbers that are frequently called.
You can have copies free for the asking!
There are two handy sizes, one for pocket or
handbag and one for home or office use. They
are alphabetically tabbed and indexed for quick
reference.
More than a thousand operating hours are
wasted each day by calls to "Information" for
numbers that are listed in theTelephone Directory.
Here is how you can help eliminate that waste of
switchboard and operators' time:
1. Call "Information"for a number only when
it is not listed.
2. If you must call "Information", write the
number down in your personal directory so
you will have it next time.
To obtain copies of the booklet, call, write or

Leonard Charles Russell
Funeral services were held Sat-
urday, February 12, at 2 p.m, at
the 'Schrader funeral home for
Leonard Charles Russell, who re-
sided at 15320 Woodring street,
Livonia, and who passed away
suddenly Wednesday morning,
February 9, at the age of 30 years.
Mr. Russell was born June 10,
1930, at Cairo, Michigan. He was
the son of Charles and Sadie Rus-
sell. His death resulted from a
fractured skull received when a
falling auto jack hit his head.
Mr. Russell is survived by his
widow, Mrs. Lenora M. Russali;
two daughters, Marlene and Caro-
lyn; his mother, Mrs. Sadie Rus-
sell of Plymouth; grandmother,
Mrs. Minnie Choate of Cairo; four
brothers and three sisters, Pvt.
Albert Russell of Iran, Persia;
Hugo of Plymouth; Virginia and
Florence, both of Ann Arbor; Pvt.
Elwood Russell of Fort Lewis,
Washington; Pfc. Junior J. Rus-
sell.. of Omaha, Nebraska, and
Merriem Russell of Plymouth, and
a host "of other relatives and
friends. Rev. Robert A. North of
the Church of the Nazarene offi-
ciated at the services. Two hymns
were rendered by Mrs. J. T. Chap-
man, accompanied at the organ
by Mrs. M. J. O'Conner. Interment
was in Riverside cemetery on
Sunday afternoon.
When Hirohito conferred the
Supreme Order of the Chrysan-
themum upon Mussolini last sum-
mer, the name of the decoration
was omitted in the Italian press
and in news releases to other
countries because, in Italy, the
chrysanthemum is symbolic of
death.

SAVE COAL
... don't leave
lights burning wastefully
It's so easy to turn on a light in an un-
occupied room or a clothes closet or the
attic of your home — then forget it. And
that light burning needlessly may go un-
noticed for hours.
Ordinarily this wouldn't be too impor-
tant . .. perhaps half -a -cent's worth of
electricity wasted. But that light in the
clothes closet burns COAL. Electricity
requires coal and manpower and trans-
portation and other critical resources for
its manufacture. And today ANY waste
of electricity is serious.
The Government asks everyone to con-
serve electricity, even though it is not
rationed and there is no shortage in this
area. Save VOLUNTARILY, whenever
and wherever you can — in home and
store and office.
