DEAR MR. BOYETT: In regard to your article in the Globe-Timer Notebook Nov. 11, 1955, your anger is misplaced; Blame the boss not his secretary. personally -doesn't care who calls, but her boss needs to know.

For two years I worked in an office where the question, "May I say calling?" was standard procedure the bosses' calls, and woe be to the girl who forgot; When I occasion-ally had to answer the phone, I shuddered at having to ask what I considered to be an impertinent question, but I swallowed my pride and forced a smile, hoping to a my voice sound pleasant enough that the query. wouldn't be too offensive. A few men were rude about it, but, of course, they' didn't I was only complying with instructions. I soon learned that this was a valuable time-saver and, in a way, a. forced courtesy.

We all know a telephone can be a wonderful or a terrible nuisance. There are calls from a a clients, good friends and VIPs, but there are also calls from insist erit' salesmen and bores. Shouldn't a chattering busy man have the privilege of choosing to whom to talk or, at the very least, to whom Advert! semen I to talk Notice Is hereby given that on November ot 10:00 a.m., ct tiia Court House in the City of Amarillo, Potter County, Texas, the Commissioners' Court of said County Mil receive stcltd bids for: ROLLER SHELF STORAGE UMTS Two boys of roller shelf steel shelving mode up with.12 sections, two rows of 6 sections wch, placed back to back, with two pair of end partsls covering ex- ends, In Olive Green color with brushed bronza rollers.

20th first if there are two or more calls for him -at the same time? A telephone call can sometimes gain.admittance where the caller would fear to trod in person. When you go to a man's office, you do not barge directly into his presence without regard for what he's doing or whom he is with. Almost always there is a secretary or a receptionist to take- your name and advise you if he's free, in conference, or on. the telephone. This is her job.

Please don't reply to this unwelcome question with a snappy comeback. You a avoid the question entirely, simply by initiating the courtesy yourself. May I suggest you begin your calls with "This is Don Boyett. May I speak to-----?" Forgive my verbosity. Your article, which was really very clever, touched a sensitive subject with, me, and I seized the opportunity (or perhaps it was an obligation) to defend thV working girl and her boss.

B.R. MR. BOYETT: In my opinion, you stand corrected on the little snide article you wrote about "nosey secretaries" and "would-be executives!" Apparently are not enough of an executive to know courteous office procedure iii a large office or firm of offices, -whether it be banking, attorneys, brokers, etc. Maybe you are just plain stupid, or could it be that you are just plain-egotistical. My employer, or boss, has always said that if a man is not "man" enough to identify himself over the phone yes, to the secretary then he doesn't want to talk to him.

Also, did you know (apparently you don't) that any secretary who asks "may I tell him who is calling" does so under strict instruction from her boss, and if she doesn't will more than likely find herself looking for another job? My boss is not in a position to talk to every "Don, Dick and Harry" who might feel called upon to call him on the telephone. As a matter of fact, we "nosey" secretaries and -would-be executives have become pretty adept in professional lying, which goes against the grain for most of us. Apparently you are real executives and say your little piece. You just might be put hi your place. You might be a so-called newspaper executive but, in my opinion, you are just a little man.

You can be sure that if the "president" does call that I'll check with my boss first. It could be that he might not want to talk to him. DEAR MR. BOYETT: In -answer to your "beef" in last night's paper about a secretary asking "Who is calling." She is oiily doing what she has been instructed to do by her boss. Take it out on the boss, and not the secretary, as she is only following orders.

She personally does not give a hoot who is calling except as it pertains to office matters. More important men than you have been asked "Who calling" and they do not seem to mind. "A SECRETARY" DEAR DON: Thank you for your article on telephoning, a for the SOWBE organization. a times I have made a telephone call, and received the same reaction. If the secretary answers rather curtly; we get the impression that if we are important enough, she will connect us.

Good telephone a teaches us that it is just as important to say at the outset who we are. For example, if I were to call you and get your secretary or operator, I would be aiding myself if I were to say: "This is Mel Rruse. May I speak to Mr. Don Boyett?" This would prevent her having to ask, and it would speed up the conversation.

When a caller has nothing to hide, he doesn't object giving up his name immediately, so perhaps it is a two- way street. Granted, there is a better way of asking such as: "Certainly, sir, may I give Mr. Eoy- ett your name?" If you or I called on someone in person, we would expect to announce name to the receptionist before entering, or give our card, and this telephone procedure is designed to do the same thing. It is probably the technique and tone that needs improvement, rather than the system.

He said that when more than one call comes in for a person at the same time, the PBX operator is instructed to ask who is calling in order that most important call may be answered first. Bob Ashworth, superinendent of the Amarillo Public schools, said, "I don't like my secretary to ask who's calling unless I'm expecting a long-distance phone call or two and I need to know which one it is so I can have the proper files ready." "We are always willing to talk to anyone, whether it be a business associate or someone said John Wright, manager of Blackburn's.

"That's a pet peeve of mine, too," said Dave Dillard, Southwestern Bell Telephone Company manager, "and I have another.

Dillard presented a set of rules for secretaries in telephone courtesy, printed by the Telephone Company. One important rule listed in the pamphlet is never to ask a caller's a before advising i whether the "boss" is available.

Call, 73, grew tried of people and life in the big city and headed back to the woods and hills he knew as a child to get away from it all. The place he selected is 120 acres of heavily wooded Ozark country between Rogers and Eureka Springs i the northwest corner of Arkansas. Call purchased the land in the 1920s.

DALLAS (AP) Texas Farm Bureau members took a stand Wednesday, for sales of surplus U. S. wheat to any other nation in the world, including Russia. They phrased the policy statement to recommend "that U.S.

wheat be treated as other commodities of a non-strategic nature by being offered for sale to any nation in the world for cash or its equivalent, with no restrictions on whenever it will advance the best interest and security of the United States." A majority of the nearly 800 voting delegates at the bureau's 32nd annual meeting rejected proposals to provide for impeachment of their officers or directors taking public stands against policies of the organization, and to make bureau districts the same as congressional or legislative districts. High Plains members failed in an effort to get a formal stand taken for requiring that coops pay the going rate of interest on government loans. C. H. Devaney of Coahoma was re-elected president of the Texas Farm Bureau, which has 95,000 members.

Webb said that Canyon people and university stud'ents who were unaware of the true nature of the picketing hi front of the president's residence, disapproved highly of the action.

"Some groups here were just about ready to clean our plows," he said. Following the day-long demonstrations Dr. Cornette-went to the WTSU Student Union Building cafeteria to discuss the "complaints" of the students. He was greeted with shouting which soon subsided to the tune of "Happy Birthday to 900 students gathered in the cafeteria and helped President Cornette eat a large birthday cake and drink punch.
