N C. HANG UP Sooner or later, if it hasn’t already happened, you’ll get w obscene call on the telephone. Approximately a million nuisance calls were reported in the nation last year, and probably as many went unreported. Don’t give these senseless characters the audience they crave. Simply hang up the receiver, unless because of previous pestering you’ve made arrangements with the telephone company to have a detecting device placed on your line. For what it may be worth, one large phone com pany that made a study of such calls discovered that the majority of them are placed by persons between the ages of 16 and 30. Not all of them are males. However, don’t dismiss the possibility ttiat you’re being annoyed by someone considerably older. Here in New Bern, for example, we know personally of an instance where the guilty party proved to be an elderly man. TTiere was an occasion here, also, when the housewife managed to keep an obscene caller engaged in conversation until her husband traced the call to a pay phone several blocks away. The husband hastily drove to the scene, caught the man in the act, and promptly beat him up. This was a most unlikely culmination, but rest assured it ended the nuisance. Threatening or obscene calls, in the event of arrest and conviction, can result in a fine or imprisonment, or both. The law takes a dim view too toward those v*o i^one in false fire alarms, or fake ambulance calls. Of course, many nuisance calls are not of an ob scene nature. In fact, among the more frequent types, often made late at night, are those where silence prevails at the other end of the line. Usually repeated, they are easier to trace. Almost ^ways they can be tracked down, and are apt to originate with an unfriendly neighbor, a business enemy, an estranged mate, or a jilted lover. Chances are you’ll have a pretty good idea who it is. A new detection device has been developed to trace the source of a call. Locked into a customer’s line, it involves the use of a punch tape on which the calling number is recorded in perforations of that tape. It also records the time of the call. Tilings were simpler in days gone by, when there were fewer telephones and dialing hadn’t come along. To place a local call, you had to speak to the operator, and she probably recognized your voice. That was a great deterent, reflected by the limited number of nuisance calls. However, in these complex times you aren’t beyond help. Complain to the business office of your telephone company, and notify the police. They’ll do something about it. THE BEST THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES, AND YOUR CHILD IS DELIGHTFUL PROOF.

You’ll never have to wring your hands At smudges on the wall; You’ll never stumble over toys And get a nasty fall. Your bedroom slippers you won’t flndl In quite the strangest places; Those prised tomes on your book shelves Will bear no penciled faces. And when you crave a movie You won’t have to tend some Inrat Who sprinkles talcum powder In your one and only hat. That lovely vase, or is it vazz. Can rest on any table; You won’t invest in diapers While you long for mink and sable. Tliere won’t be night-long vi^. Kept because a curly neaif Is burning up with fever In its little trundle bed. You’ll live without restrictions. Doing everything that’s nice; Never knowing that a baby Is cheap at any price. -^GMcD. Daw, Dixon's deed. Commissioners: Joseph Green, Charles W.
