Your telephone--a whole world of fun at your fingertips. Mr. Bell's black box has a number and message to suit every mood and fancy.

Depressed? Try 491-9935 for a bright sonic lift.

Lonely? The Voice of Audubon is always on call at KE 6-4050 to carry on a lively conversation about the wildlife of our fair state.

Playful? Make your own phone ring. Dial 911, wait for the tone, twirl a seven, and hang up.

Stomach queasy? Dial a non-existent exchange and let New England Telephone soothe you. We recommend 492; you needn't bother with the next four numbers.

Contemplating murder? Helpful scientific advice is available from the Poison Information Center: 232-2120.

Sporting? Try your hand at the Direct Distance Sweepstakes. Dial any ten numbers with a zero or one as the second digit and guess where you'll end up It could be any place in the United States or Canada. And don't worry about the cost; chances are you won't hit a working number.

Adventurous? Play Person-to-Person with headliners and celebrities the world over. Richard Nixon (213 MAdison 0-1249) is usually out, but you may have better luck with movie stars. Just call 213-555-1212 (Los Angeles information) for the number of your favorite. No charge for information calls, of course.

Unimaginative? Call the old standbys: the weather report at 936-1234 or the correct time at 637-1234.

Inquisitive? Try our mystery number: EL 4-5150--the key to a world you never dreamed of.

"Telephones," the good book tells us, "now come in many beautiful decorator colors to blend with or accent the color scheme of your home furnishings." "If you have any communication need...there is a telephone service to meet it."
