Ask Public To Forego Christnas Phoning The great American custom of extending season's greetings by long distance telephone on Christmas and Christmas Eve must be sharply curtailed this year if the long lines are to be kept open for prompt transmission of war calls. The New Jersey Bell Telephone Company this week urged telephone users to forego adding to the burden of overloaded long distance lines the usual Christmas calls which, however pleasant, are not really important and may impede military and other calls vital to the war.-

Amy Issues Ban On Outdoor Yule Lights NEW YORK — Outdoor Christmas trees in the dim-out area of New York, New Jersey and Delaware will be hi darkness during the dim-out hours this holiday season in conformity with Army regulations recently issued by Major General T. A. Terry, commanding the Second Service Command. This was announced Friday by Army officials in reply to many inquiries from individuals and organizations who want to know what effect the new rules will have on holiday outdoor decorativq lighting.

Small outdoor Christmas trees will not contribute materially to sky-glow in many instances, the Army recognizes. However, the military authorities believe that their regulations .for dim-out should conform to the policy of the War Production Board, as recently announced, concerning outdoor Christmas lights. The request of WPB is understood to be based on the need to save critical materials used in Christmas lighting, manpower required to string up decorations and electricity. The elimination of outdoor Christmas lighting throughout the nation will, it is estimated, save 50,000,000 kilowatt hours of electricity, enough to meet lighting

and power requirements of a city of 50,000 for a year. In keeping with the new regulations, Army posts throughout the dim-out area in the Second Service Command where outdoor Christmas trees traditionally S eam with lights, this year will spense with the illumination.
