Here's What You Do Leola Starling of Ribrock, Tenn., had a serious telephone problem. But unlike most people she did something about it. The brand-new $10 million Ribrock Plaza Motel opened nearby and had acquired almost the same telephone number as Leola. From the moment the motel opened, Leola was besieged by calls not for her.

"All of our rooms are taken," the clerk said. "But I can't send a nice couple like you out in the
rain at one o'clock in the morning. Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room? It's not
exactly a suite, but it will be good enough to make you folks comfortable for the night."
