WE’VE COME A LONG WAY since the days when
grandmothers operated switchboards in their kitchens
between batches of bread. Now that friendly, smiling
voice is a well-trained young lady who knows how to
help you in any emergency. Southern Bell is proud of
its lovely and efficient team of operators, and we’d like
to have more of them. We’re also looking for cable
splicers, installers, service representatives, etc. If you
are interested in this exciting business, we’d like for
you to come in and talk with us.
SOME OF OUR FAVORITE VISITORS are grade-
school children. One elementary school class visited
both the Western Electric plant where Bell telephones
lure made and their local telephone company, where they
watched in awe as switchboards were wired and Bell’s
computerized equipment handled calls. They were
amazed at the thousands of parts that wait into the
equipment After
the tour, many
of them wrote
thank you notes
to the telephone
company. From
one youngster:
M I bet Alexan
der Bell did not
think it waa go
ing to be so
complicated.”
Mrs. Azalee Williams has re
turned to her position at Bailey
Memorial Hospital after some
weeks of illness and a hospi
