Sometimes the newspaper editors
>#rite n better editorial for our magazine
than we can. One of these appeared
in the Hamlet, N. C., NewsMessenger
not long ago. In a matter-of-fact
way it tells how our
I people keep the lines open:
I . "One night some weeks ago a
blacksmith shop at Lilesville burned.
IWhether it buried 'down' or 'pp' we
fon't know; but at.least the flames
Blunt, up. iNot^much to a blacksmith
B burning. New York and lots
Bdtar places did not even know
about it But there was more to it
than ifiows on its1 face. The up
Ming flames burned through the
distance telephone wires. Thai
would have made a difference to New
I York and other places that didn't
fire a whoop about all the blacksmith
shops in the country burning.
Trouble shooters', at Hamlet and
Rockingham were notified at bed time
of the fire. As fast as cars would
carry them they hprriscf to the scene.
Before the fire died down the wires
had been spliced and communication
restored; long before the Jtock
oarket opened next morning all the
jjifcuits were working'.
Last week high water in the Pee
Bee River again endangered the toll
kaes. Ed Arthur's crew of linemen

Tangled lines were straightened out
propped up, and two or three of
Ike fellows, stayed by all night long
etching the rising water and keapta?
the lines clear. <3ommnnioatiozl

Working over the ^smouldering
heat of a building or wading through
the told water of a swollen river is
just an incident of the day's work for
these fellows. Thus Are
town boys maintaining the traditions
of the telephone service.
"The world must have its news.
That is why men end women in the
telephone service, in the mail service
and in newspaper work must carry
on. Ideals of the three are the same.
Loyalty to these ideals is the absolute
essential for employment. Personal
feelings must be ignored; obstacles
must be overcome; the lines must be
kept clear.
"The consciousness of high ideals
maintained, of a job well done, is reward
enough for anyone who has the
stuff to make a telephone man or a
newspaper man."?Southern Telephone

of Cleveland, a telephone operator at I

to warn everybody in the clinic' tfj
'their danger, and to rally police, lire- I
then and ambulances.
Faster than ever before in her life I
She worked, plugging in socket after J
socket in the Switchboard as she set
ail telephones in the clinic to ringing
madly their alarm of death.
Finally the heroic girl collapsed.
Somebody carried her out, and she
soon died in. a hospital.
"Greater love hath no man," s^id a I
priest with tears in his eyes, as he
saw Gladys die. *V3he was a brave 1
and noble girl."
Gladys died as bravely as she had

New Hampshire Man Has Instrument
Built in 1763
! i
j Charles W. Gray of Portsmouth, N

Sarah E. Robert, daughter of the late
Edward E. Robert of Hartford, believes
that his piano built in London
in 1763 by Johann Zampe is the old
est'one'In the United Stales. Twenty-one
years later it was brought to
this country for John Jacob Astor.
It was with difficulty that the strings
were kept from rusting during the
long passage across the ocean and after
its arrival in New York the much
drier atmosphere caused the woodwork
to crack, says the Hatford
Cou rant.

For nearly 40 years the piund remained
