It. is the work which was done by the telephone operators. . Three hundred and ninety-five long distance calls were sent from New Bern i'riday. There is no way to estimate the number of calls that were received here. Telephone operators worked for twelve and fourteen hours at a stretch Friday without stopping for food or rest. "When one takes into consideration the strain of con tinuously endeavoring to put through long distance" calls for this length of time, the work which the girls did is little short' of remarkable. They deserve the entire thanks of the Community for their splendid "efforts. DID SPLENDID win the immediate foreground the .chimney. 'from ."which Jthe fire on the roof.
