Re searchers have come forth with interesting accounts. Mickey In Indianapolis, the problem Is comparatively simple because Indiana Bell no longer collects them, accord log to John W. Kingsbury, Vice-president in charge of public relations. The chances are many of the old direc-tories find themselves in grade school paper tale collections. Coded' however, in other places, old tele- phone directories have served as code books for spies, references 1 for robbers, hiding places for money and armor-plating for trucks.

"Money, pressed butterflies and tree leaves, wills, music manuscripts and a letter from Mahatma Gandhi have turned up in old New York telephone books. A Bronx man interlarded a directory with his entire month's salary, then forgetfully exchanged it for a new one.

Arctic Book: The Bell Telephone Co; of Canada publishes a slim volume to cover northern Quebec, the coast of Labrador, and Baffin and Cornwallis Islands in the Canadian Arctic. Instructions are printed in Eskimo syllables as well as English and French because 10 per cent of the customers are Eskimos. There's no separate section for products and services such as Labrador Motors or- Polar Cabs.

In the United States alone more than 100 million copies of the section known as the "yellow pages" are printed annually. They list about everything from abdominal supports to zippers.
