• RADIO STATION NEEDS TO HEAR MORE VOICES: The American For-
ces Radio Station here is searching for people. Especially needed
are those not "designated" for a particular military job who could
be trained for full-time radio work, but part-timers are needed,
also. You don’t have to have a voice like Roger Carroll's, but it
should be easily understandable. Any type of experience in acting
is often helpful, as is a strong interest in music. If in-
terested, contact J02 Tom Wiecks at 4193 during normal working
hours.
• HOLIDAY TELEPHONE CALLS OVERSEAS: Every year during the
Christmas holidays the use of the telephone system for placing
calls to the states increases. In order to provide the best pos-

must be made in advance through the overseas operator in order to
place these calls. If you desire to call the states on Dec. 24,
25, 26, 31 or on Jan. 1, please call the Chief Telephone Operator
at Ext. 3200 during normal working hours. The final date for mak-
ing reservations will be Dec. 15. After you have made your reser-
vation you must reconfirm it the day before you make the call.
• RADIO ON AFTV?: When is a television station not a televi-
sion station? When it's a radio station. American Forces Televi-
