Juniors Pushing
'Cents Off' Week
In Warren County
With the skyrocketing
figures on the Consumer Price
Index, the members of the
Warrenton Junior Woman's
Club have been searching for a
way to curtail the cost of living
on a level whereby we. the
average homemaker, can relate.
Recognizing the grocery
store to be the most common
marketplace among homemak
ers, the Juniors are sponsoring
"Cents Off' Week to provide
some relief from the rising cost
of food and grocery items.
"Cents Off" Week is intended
to encourage the consumer to
take advantage of the savings
offered them by food distributors
through the cents off
coupons found in the vast
majority of magazines and
newspapers.
The week of March 27
through April 2 has been
designated as "Cents Off"
Week. Citizens of Warren
County are urged to clip
coupons on items normally
purchased and present them tc
the grocer check-out during
this time.
The savings received during
i he week can total a sizeabW
sum if the consumer wil
continue to use the cents of
coupons even after th<
designated week has ended.

Phone Off Hook
Causes Problems
Replacing the telephone
receiver on the hook when
you're through talking may
seem like a "little" thing to do.
But it can be a "big" thing if you
don't.
R. B. Hardister, manager for
Carolina Telephone & Telegraph
Company, pointed out
today that many persons
unknowingly are putting their
own and perhaps other
telephones out of service
everyday by not replacing the
receiver properly when
through talking.
For all practical purposes,
Hardister said, a telephone
receiver off the hook is the
same as a telephone out of
order. And on a party line, this
means every telephone on the
line is out of service.
In an emergency, this could
cause hardship.
Also, a receiver off the hook
ties up central office equipment,
thereby prohibiting
other persons from using their
telephones.
"A common cause of
disruption of telephone service
is failure to replace the
telephone on the hook when
someone is told to answer the
phone on another extension,"
Hardister said.
When a person continues to
get a busy signal because the
party he is trying to reach has
his phone off the receiver, the
caller usually notifies the
telephone company that the
phone is out of order. The
phone company may then send
a repairman out on a service
call, only to discover the phone
is off the hook.
Such service calls have beer
increasing in Warrenton and
Norlina, Hardister said. That's
why he appealed to telephone
users to make a special effort tt
replace receivers after complet
ing calls.

A Few Words From Talking Watch
The day is coming when you
won't have to look at your
watch to find out what time it
is.
At the press of a button, a
new wristwatch will say
clearly, "Five-oh-three." or
whatever time it happens to be.
The manufacturer of the
talking timepiece, who expects
to market it by next Christmas,
assumes no responsibility for
the reactions of passersbv who
eavesdrop on the watch.
But if you're embarrassed at
letting all within earshot share
your watch's knowledge, a
digital readout on its face will
continue to give the time
silently.
The battery-operated watch,
called Sonatime. combines a
liquid crystal display with a
miniature speaker and a solid
state memory.
Multilingual Timepiece
A patent for the vocal watch
was granted last December to
Intersonics Corporation of New
York. Robert W. Lester,
president of the research firm,
says the watch's voice can be
composed of information bits
that will reasonably reproduce
any selected person's voice in
any language customers want.
Watchmaking has made
dramatic advances in recent
years bv adapting space-age
technology and miniaturization.
It's a far cry from the
Nuremburg Egg. considered
the forerunner of modern
watches, says the National
Geographic Society.
A technological marvel in
1505. the egg-sized timepiece
was meant to be worn on a neck
chain. It featured a coiled
mainspring, its single hand told
only the hours, and it was
"accurate" to within two or
three hours a day.
Most early watches were
made by locksmiths, who
produced them in various
shapes. including ovals,
squares and octagons. With
development of the spiral
balance spring in 1675, another
hand was added to measure
minutes and the portable toys
became true timekeepers.
Watchmakers became spec
ialists and watch movements
were reduced and refined to fit
into flat cases that could be
carried in the pocket.
War Promoted Wri«tw»teh
Wristwatches at first were
considered effeminate, though
some were worn by British
cavalry officers in the Boer
War. The heavily laden-troops
of World War I found them
practical, and they soon became
more popular than the bulkier
pocket watches.
Over the years, wristwatches
shrank in size and became
self-winding, shock-resistant,
and waterproof. They took on
added duties as stopwatches,
calendars, and wrist alarms.
The greatest change came in
1970 when traditional mainsprings
and balance wheels
were replaced by tiny quartz
crystals in a new type of
wristwatch.
Watches became computers,
with liquid crystal displays
flashing the time at the push of
a button or flick or the wrist.
Light emitting diodes that
produce constantly visible
numbers eliminated even that
much effort.
Now if someone invents a
voice-activated timepiece, its
wearer can just ask the watch
what time it is.
