Here these hard-riding, -hard-fighting Indians hunted buffalo and battled intruders. Sitting Bull -and Crazy Horse were among their great war chiefs; Custer’s Massacre is -their best known victory over the white men. - -Sioux Falls was first settled in 1857, but after the Sioux Massacre in -southern Minnesota in 1862, it was abandoned until 1865 when Fort Dakota -was established at this site.

In these centers, skilled -telephone operators are on duty during rush hours to help you with your -calls. These operators will take your calls, make change, and help you -in looking up telephone numbers. This assistance will be of special -advantage to you in making calls to faraway places. The same service is -also offered at the Main Avenue USO. - - [Illustration: {Telephone Operator}] - -At all three centers, a file of telephone directories is maintained for -reference. Lounge facilities are provided and information is furnished -regarding bus and railroad schedules, sports, shows, dances and other -like events. - - [Illustration: PUBLIC TELEPHONE] - -LOOK FOR THE BLUE BELL SIGN—Other public telephones are in day rooms, -mailrooms, orderly rooms and other convenient locations ... marked by -the familiar Blue Bell sign. - - - - - TO MAKE A LONG DISTANCE CALL - - - [Illustration: {public telephone}] - -Every effort is being made to provide the best possible service on your -calls but many long distance lines are so heavily loaded with calls that -we may not be able to get them through promptly, especially during the -busiest hours. Moreover, more lines to meet increased needs can’t be -added now because the materials it would take must go to make war -weapons and munitions. - -The following information is furnished to help you place your calls and -get them through as quickly as possible. Whenever you call, you can be -sure that we will do everything we can to get your call through. - -STATION-TO-STATION CALLS—When you will talk with anyone available at the -telephone you call, please give the operator the desired place and -number (if you have it), for example. “Acton, Illinois, Main 2324.” - -You can find telephone numbers of persons in many cities and towns in -the out-of-town directories in the Telephone Centers. If the directory -you want is not there and you do not have the number, give the operator -the name and address and tell her you will talk with anyone at the -telephone there. - -PERSON-TO-PERSON CALLS—When you want to reach a certain person, please -give the operator the desired place, the number if you have it, or can -obtain it from out-of-town directories available, and the name of the -person wanted, as “Acton, Illinois, Main 2324, Mrs. E. R. White.” - -MAKE SURE OF RATE BEFORE CALLING—When making a long distance call from a -public telephone, it helps to know what the rate is and to have the -necessary change ready. Attendants at the telephone centers will give -you information about long distance rates, assist you in placing calls, -and collect charges. From other public telephones, you can get the rate -by asking the long distance operator. Also, there’s a list of rates to -representative cities in the United States on the inside back cover of -this handbook. - -COLLECT CALLS—If you wish to make a call collect, tell the operator when -you place the call and she will determine whether the charges will be -accepted at the called telephone. - -REDUCED NIGHT AND SUNDAY RATES—Every night from 6 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. and -all day every Sunday, rates on long distance calls over distances of -about 50 miles or more are lower than regular week-day rates. - -PLAN YOUR CALLS AHEAD—To make sure you remember all the things you wish -to talk about—and to save time and money—jot down the items you intend -to mention. If you wish to spend only a certain amount on a call, ask in -advance how many minutes it will pay for and limit your conversation to -that time. - -REMAIN NEAR TELEPHONE—After you have placed your call, if it cannot be -completed at once, please stay nearby so you can be located quickly. - -PLEASE BE BRIEF—Give the other fellow a break. All over the country, men -in service are placing long distance calls. If conversations are brief, -more men can get their calls through. - -DON’T LOSE YOUR NICKEL—Public telephones here are operated on a -“post-payment” basis; that is, the coin is not deposited until after the -operator completes the connection for you. Give the operator the number -first, and do not insert the coin until she asks you to. - -CALLS TO ORDERLY ROOMS—To call a squadron orderly room from off the -Post, ask the Sioux Falls information operator for the number of the -public telephone there and call that number, as use of Post telephones -in orderly rooms is restricted. - -TELEPHONE CALLS FOR YOU—If you expect relatives or friends to call you, -please make sure that they have your complete mailing address, including -your barracks building number, the telephone number at which you can be -reached, and any other information which will be helpful in reaching -you. Generally, however, it works best if you place the call instead of -having them call you because changes in the schedules of camp life often -make it difficult to get in touch with you promptly when attempting to -complete a call to you. - -TELEGRAMS—To send a telegram over a telephone, just call “Western -Union”, give the message to be sent and deposit the telegraph charges in -the coin box as requested. - - - - - ADDRESSES - - - Name - Address - Tel.

If possible, the soldier and -visitor must be present at the Pass House when the pass is issued. -However, if it is impossible for the soldier to be present he can make -arrangements with one of the Service Club hostesses to get a pass for -his visitor. The pass must be retained by the visitor and returned to -the Pass House at the completion of his visit, after being signed by one -of the Service Club hostesses. - -Persons desiring to stay at the Guest House are issued a three-day pass -upon request of a Service Club Hostess. This pass is also returned to -Pass House upon completion of visit. - - [Illustration: Logo] - -The following charges are for three minutes, including tax, on -Station-to-Station calls from Sioux Falls between 6 p.m. and 4:30 a.m. -or on Sunday.
