Thus hia anniverury on that ^te gives to the year 1947 special interest to all Uiose who use the tele phone. , It if hard to realize that today’s vast tdephone business springs from the genius of one born only a century ago. The world must have been waiting for the telephone, so quickly did it become an integral part of nio<k:ii life. Bell, born in Edinbiugh, Scotland, came to Canada in 1870 and to t'le IJniJed'>States two years later, locat ing in Boston. He taught at Boston University dur ing the days, was busy niglits with endless telegraphic experiments. While working on these in June of 1875 with l^homas .A Watson, young mechanic j einployed at the electrical shop where I Bell conducted his studies, the "in ventor discovered quite accidentally a | fundamental principle that almost im- ■ ■ pre e pn following if arch. icipic I mediately produced a workable telo- { thohe. He patented his invention the I or JJf ' w ■■ Commonwealth bank of Australia has bought a plane for business purposei. nnoimcement The School of Nursing of the / ICamdeo Hospital announces that it is now re ceiving applications for a nurses class to begin April 1st. * % If you are a high school graduate 17 years of age or more * i and are interested in nursing , as a career ,. .. \Write to the— Director of Nurses CAMDEN HOSPITAL CAMDEN, S. a In July of 1877 the Bell Telephone Company was fonned and the first commereial exchange followed in 187811 St New Haven, Connecticut, serving 8 lines and 21 telephones. First Five Years Difflenk It wasn’t really that simple. The first five years of tho telephone’s life were difficult ones. 'The story of how the telephone pioneers solved their problems and went on to build a great communications system is a dramatie one. If the world was waiting for the telephone, then it must have been waiting for Bell, too. - The whole of his .early life might have been just preparation for the day when he could say of his telephone; “It works!" Speech and hearing enthralled the boy Bell. His grandfather, Alexander Bell of London, made • science of speech. He sought cures for speech defects and learned much about the human vocal mechanism. He passed on his lore to Alexander Melville Bell, the inventor’s father. Melville’s appli cation of it was teaching the deaf to apeak. He devised a system of symbols to depict actions of the vocal organs in making sounds. The boy aided hia father in public lectures on this “visible speech." While young Bell was out of the room, his father would invite members of the audience to utter any sorts of sounds. Symbols were drawn quickly and from these the boy could repro duce the sound—be it a saw cutting wood or a word in Sanskrit, a lan guage of which he knew nothing. BeB taught this “visible speech" system later at Boston. Young Alexander and his brother made a “talking automaton,” using bellows, rubber bands, and miscellane- oni equipment to pr^uce functional substitutes for the human almll. teeth, lips, and larynx. It said “mama” con vincingly enough to tend a neighbor In the dMNt apsMe of 70 years the telephone haa grown fr<^ a erode instnusicnt, throngh which aoands were barely aadible, to today’s modem telephone system whidi Hnks together more than 30 million tde^ones fat tho United Stataa alane.

Prepared Aa Youth His childhood and youth had helped pepare him to invent the telephone, but Bell’s work was not finished when he invented it. He applied his inven* tive skills in many ways, even to pro ducing an instrument that could lo cate bullets or other metallic objects in the human body. The whole field of science absorbed him. He did much, for example, to promote geographical and aeronautical investigations. Thus, althoi'sh the telephone in vention was hit mreat achievement, he continued a lively interest in things scientifio until the day of hk death in 1922 when he wee 75 years old. Since he died the telephone system besting hk name baa grown ever more vital to the everyday living ef everyone. It k e piece of work for nearly half a miluon people. Nearly 700,000 share its ownendilp. It serves 224)00,000 ef the nation’s 30,0004)00 telephones. Its whet carry the netion’e network radio programs.
