The author foresees a decade hence when dialing ten digits instantly connects any caller to any telephone nationwide. The piece warns of a price: universal anonymity behind numbers, erasing individual distinction across society and even diminishing identity from president to pizza parlor.
A nostalgic lament for changing telephone numbering from homely three or four digit calls to anonymous 3164314101 style 10 digit strings. The piece recalls wooden-wall telephones, named voices like Gertie and Mamie, and a sense of community before numbers erased personal identity.
The item notes Khrushchev reorganizing the Soviet apparatus, Macmillan losing by elections, Adenauer shaky, Nehru’s firing of a aide, and De Gaulle’s weakened hold. It asks if people tire of government and jokes about a pocketpiece that fuses hearing aid with a transistor radio for Christmas in Dallas.
A mash of notes hints at normal life in era media quirks with references to a junk sale in Fort Worth and a stray typographic error tied to Newsweek. It mentions snow poems arriving in print and a local letter from Ohio as well as parents worrying over daughters delayed by late hours.
The Chamber of Commerce calls for broken or unwanted toys for the annual Christmas toy drive at the Municipal building. WPA workers will repair and repaint items. Also noted: a SeKan area circus drew nearly 800 Boy Scouts for a well-planned show, and Opal Jones of Kansas City visits the Deays.
In Nashville a government case against James Riddle Hoffa unfolds with over 200 documents as evidence in a case seen as costly and politically charged. The piece notes investigations by grand juries in multiple cities and questions the trial's pace and spectacle.
