Friday, January 14, 1949 This, That and the Other (Continued from Page 1) called some one, who answered promptly. They exchanged a few sentences and my caller left, in sisting that I let them know at orce, if I had any further trouble. I walked a block that same morning to call; for the phone was k dead again in thirty minutes after J the fixer left. He came back as immaculate as before, and was sadder than the first time over the way I was having to suffer. Again he found what was wrong. Again he left urging me to ask for service if any should be need ed. I did, in a few hours. Coming back from down town, I found a big truck in the side yard and men busy about the place, climbing ladders, tapping on walls, looking up at wires. Pretty soon they were through and one man came into the house to make sure the phone was all right. From the kitchen I heard him. “Smitty,” he called briskly. Then again, “Smitty,” a bit doubtfully. Next he intoned pleadingly, “Smi-i-t-t-y.” Then he came into the kitchen and ask ed me, “You say folks could get you on your phone, but you couldn’t get anybody?” I said that was right, and may have used a few gestures showing how it would seemingly be in good order, then all of a sudden would go dead. “That’s just what it’s done now,” he said gloomily, taking his depart ure. But they hadn’t quit Back they came the next day with determi nation plain on their faces, with coils of wire, ladders and all NYLON HOSE in all popular shades Warner’s Brassiers, Panties, Girles, Corsettes New Assortment of Skylon Straight Cut Cepe Slips v MISS PAULINE KANNON Call 2451 Kannon’s Case Zebulon ZEBULON AIRPORT 2 Miles North on Hiway 264 J.

They were going to re pair that phone, if it had to be done with a new one. It was not long before my in terrogator of the day before was back in the kitchen telling me I could talk to whom I pleased.” “It’s all yours,” he said with a flourish as he left. Anyway, it is working—yet. But not as hard as the Bell men did. An amusing sidelight on primary school work was when a mother ; who thinks it necessary to help her child with lessons said she is not proud of the good reports brought home. “In fact,” she added, “hard as I work over those lessons, it does seem I might do better than the grades show.” When this column first came into existence the first editor to take notice of it to the extent of RADIO SALES AND SERVICE Expert Repair Service JAMES CREECH Next Door to Carolina Powe' & Light Co.

Only a short time before his death last week he wrote my husband a letter which contains words of praise and cheer for the family.
