CLASSIFIED TELEPHONE DIRECTORY Members of the Society have received within the past month or so a circular issued by Golden Pages Classified Telephone Directory, Saint Martin's House, Waterloo Road, Dublin 4, offering free listing in a classified telephone directory under various professions and businesses. This is un doubtedly a convenience both to solicitors and the business community and the Council have advised members that there is no objection to having their names listed in ordinary type. The proprietors offer additional facilities at a charge of £10 per annum including the insertion of the subscriber's name in bold type. In the opinion of the Council members should not have their names listed in bold type in this directory. The inclusion of cer tain names in bold type in a classified directory (as distinct from the ordinary telephone directory) \vould in the opinion of the Council amount to advertising and unfair attraction of business, un less adopted by the whole profession. The needs of the profession and their clients will be ade quately served if all members and firms use the ordinary small type.
