SOUTH CAROLINA4 :9 to the parents of playful children The frolicsome juvenile displays a marked preference for the telephone as a plaything. Mischievous hands delight in dismembering this useful instrument. ’Chubby’faces grow pink with exertion as these small rascals pound the telephone merrily against the wall or whack it vigorously on the floor. In spite of their sturdy appearance, tele phones are delicate- instruments, and hence the mortality rate among them at the hands of children is alarmingly, high. In the interest of good service, which is always essential, we ask that parents discourage thei^ youngsters from using the tele phone as a celluloid rattle —or the cord as a .teething ring.
