FACTS EST A HI. ISH ED
It was contended that the new road
from Conway to Georgetown could he
put through the new road, as it has
been called, by the Scarborough and
Lewis places, for less money than it
could any other way. The boards in
charge of the location and building
of the road said that this was not so.
If they did not say this in so many
words, they said this by their actions,
for they claimed to have just enough
money to do the work the cheapest
way.
Tlv.it the boards were wrong and
that all of the engineers who agreed
with them were wrong is now proven
by the facts themselves and to the
satisfaction of anybody who will go
and look at the work they have done
and will have to do to place this new
^.^>..<-1 ...?
J Weill do dfti CAICIIMUU ill ruui III civt'nue.
They have had to cut through
hills and nvike extensive fills and it
is easy to see that the work has cost
more, or will cost more, when finished
than it would have taken the old road
through the cutoff by the Scarborough
place and by the H. H. Woodward
place, where recently, according
to a local paper, some men got stuck
while tlie recent water was up.
Let us not forget to say that one
of the engineers agreed with the Herald
that the rejected route was the
cheapest way through. This was McQueen
Quattlebaum, by the way, one
of the most skillful and well informed
engineers ever employed on any part
of this work. He did not hesitate to
say that the lower route through the
low land was the cheapest way for
the road to go. What he said has
been borne out by the actual facts as
they have developed in the case.
With funds as short as they are it
is deplored that the work must be
hung up all of this time trying to
make an outlet from the end of Fourth
avenue when the forces, if they had
gone the other way, could have been
well on the way to Toddville even by
this time. With the money and time
they have used on the route selected
by them, the forces could have gone
almost to Bucksport and have had
the road finished almost to that point
by this time. And the end is not yet.
They are still spending thousands of
dollars where they could have gotten
through with hundreds. It may be
that the money will give out, if it is
as short as they claimed it was, before
the new road is done, and then
wlmt will t.hov do ?
The road will be one of the most
costly ever built so far as the keeping
of it in repair is concerned. The reason
is that it is built along the slope
of the hills, where the high land and
low land meet. They are making with
earth that will tend to wash down the
hill as time goes along and it will take
much money to keep it replaced It'
they had used the hard level surface
which the other route would have provided
this frequent repairing would
never have been needed.
As we have said many times before,
somebody made a big mistake
and it becomes more and more apparent
as time goes on and the facts are
being made plain by actual experience.
IT IS GROWING
We do not realize how rapidly our
town is glowing until we s on and
cast up the things that are going on
all in a bunch together. It was this
kind of thing that Mayor I.. I). Magrath
did recently and made a speech
before the Conway Civic League, giving
facts and figures to prove what
the town has done and is doing. The
substance of what he said before that
body appears in another article in
last week's issue.
o
News received liom Florence recently
was to the effect that the Horry
Tobacco Warehouse here had been
tendered to the tobacco marketing association
for its use during the coming
tobacco season. What the others
an'i 11 do has not boon stated, hut it is
supposed that they will he run as
usual.
o
Knv.v and i!l will are the things
which, too often, split the men of a
community and keep them from doing
the things that ought to he done for
the benefit of all. Let's try to make
Conway one place where the business
men will do what they know is the
best for their town regardless of their
own petty likes and dislikes.
o
Every county seat needs a good

.soon as they have to do without one.
While they have one they forget that
it must be supported or else it cannot
tfive the service it should give to be
of much benefitj
o
The juries did the best they could
in the trials coming in the court recently.
They rendered some verdicts
that were rather curious, but they
doubtless tried to do the best they
could under the circumstances of each
case.

RADIO ACTIVITY.
The tremendous possibilities o*'

that nearly everybody is

method of communication. Even

of considerable power in man'
sections, and the movement bids fair
to become as fixed and practicable a
the telegraph and the telephone.
In line with its general plan of expansion,
the Weather Bureau has
further increased its activities- ir
the way of disseminating genera
weather information. Recently a co
operative broadcast service was established
in connection with the Naval
radio station at San Francisco for
distribution to Pacific Coast points.
On April 15, broadcast service of
general weather information will begin
from the great Lakes Nava'
Radio station at Chicago, by cooperation
with the War and ^Javy departments
and the Bureau of Communications.
The morning bulletin will be is
sued at 12 noon, 75th Meridian Time
and the evening bulletin will bo
broadcast at 11:30 p. m. with wavp
lengths of 19.c8 meters. The ra'l
letters will be N-A-J. These reports
may be intercented by any
radio station of sufficient power
within range, and instructions con

be obtained by interested parties bv

"UN JO'S BUSY" S.Am
THE OIM1RATOK
"Saw what's the matter with your
operators, anvwav?" askorl (ho reporter
heatedly of the telephone kuim,
"Is there any reason why I shouldn't
he allowed to talk to my wife when
I call for my house on the telephone,
instead of heintv told every other time
that the line's busy? Is it that the
telephone company thinks, mayhe,
that I talk to my wife too much?or
are the jrirls trying to j?et out of
work ? Now?"
"Keep cool, Hill." soherlv advised
the telephone man. "Let's inquire
into this tiling. Now, how of ton do
you really got the 'busy' signal when
you call up your house? Every other
time, you say?"
"Wo'l, pretty often, anyway," temporized
the reporter.
"Just so," admitted the telephone
man. "And don't you suppose your
telephone maybe could ho busy, sure
enough, every now and then? That's
what you've got it at home for; isn't
it?so your wife can call up folks?"
"Well?yes?but she doesn't call
that often?"
"But maybe somebody is calling
her."
"W-e-l-l, that might happen."
"Yes, it might, of course. But then
you say the operators may just be
trying to get out of work by tolling
you your line is busy when it isn't,
huh? Let's figure that out, too."
"When you ca'l central a signal
shows on the switchboard and ".he op*
&Y, S. 0., APRIL 20, 1922
erator pulls a long. flexible cord, full
of tiny wires and with a plug- on the
end of it, up out of the keyboard,
and she puts that plug in little hole
in the face of the switchboard?we
call it a 'jack'?and that connects her
transmitter and receiver with the telephone
you called from. Then sho
pulls back a key on the switchboard
so she can hear you, and she asks you
what number you want. When you
te'l her she picks up .another cord?
the mate to the first one?and puts
it in the 'jack' which connects up with
t'ip telephone you are calling for?if
she can."
"But there may be another plug in
that number already, which shows
that someone else is talking to or
calling for that telephone; or, even
if there is not, there may be one con
npcion wiui it (mi some oukt pan or <
the switchboard, where she can't see <
it. So. before she connects you. she *
takes the plus: on the second cord and <
! t/ins the little metal rim ot* the 'jack' <
twice with it. When she /does tint. {
if sho hears a certain kind of a click. <
she knows that line is in u<o, because *
it has current on it, so she reports <
to you that the line is busy." <
"Now that busy line may mean <
that someone else is actually talking <
over the line you are c,ailing for. or *
it may only be that someone else has <
just called it and has been connected <
up. or again it may mean that some- <
one at that telephone is calling eon- <
tral at that moment?hut in either }
case it is in use. Now, when you cal* 4
another telephone .and get the busy <
signal, what do you do?" ^
"Why, 1 hang up and wait a min- <
ut'' '>f course?and then 1 call again." ^
"Exactly?and'every time you call ^
and don't get your number you have 4
made just as much work for the op- j
erator as if you had got it. Well. 4
she knows, when she gives you the 4
first busy report that you are going ^
to call again and again, until you do 4
get it, and she'll have to give you the 4
connection sometime during the next 4
few minutes?so why shouldn't she be 4
glad to connect you up the first time. ^
if she could, and save the work of 4
answering you overd time-; more? J
Don't you see, Bill, that to report a 4
line busy simply makes more work 4
for the operator instead or irorting 1
her out of work. That being the c.nse. 4
why in goodness do you --appose she 1
would tell you that the line i-; bury, 4
when it isn't?" r 1
"Uh, huh," said the reported, "Well, 1
I just thought I'd ask?" j
"The trouble with you, "cut n the 1
telephone man solicitously, "is that 4
you're just nervous?what you need 4
is a rest. Now, 1 know a place where ^
the bass are so vicious itluit they 4
come right out on the bank and steal ^
your bait, and if you can get away 4
this afternoon?" ^
And the reporter and the telephane 4
man drifted away, heads together 4
and arm in arm. 4
