PHONE GIRLS
WORK FRIDAY
Some of Girls Worked ; More
Than 12 Hours At Stretch
Without Stopping
There is'ohe'branch of work during
tSe course , of ' last "week's terrible
fire of which very little has been
said , thus far. 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.

New Bern has just suffered a tremendous loss by
fire. Probably you escaped the ravages of the Demon of
!Flames, if so, now is an excellent time to look over your
policies and see if you ar,e fully covered by insurance.
FIRE MAY BREAR OUT AT ANY MOMENT.
YOUR HOME OR YOUR BUSINESS HOUSE, ALONG
WITH ITS CONTENTS, MAY BE DESTROYED.
COVER THEM WITH INSURANCE WHILE THERE
IS TIME TO DO SO.
. 'If you are carrying no insurance at all, you should
by all means give this matter your attention. Don't let
yourself and your family be left in the same condition
which now confronts hundreds of New Bern's people
homeless and penniless.
We will be glad to give you any information that you desire in
upon us.
