r PAGE EIGHT THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER Telephone Co. Needs Equipment (Continued from page 1 ) 302 to 409. Expect Busy Summer There has been a steady in crease in telephone usage since the end of the war. Since the summer months usually are the busiest, July and August are ex pected "to be hot in more ways than one" at the exchange, Mrs. Reardon remarked. Twenty-two operators are em ployed by the local office, with Mrs. Hester Davis serving as traf fic supervisor and Mrs. Sibyl Hall as her assistant. Seven girls re main on duty during the day and one at the switchboard at night. Administratively Way nesvil It comes under Southern Hell's Ashe ville office in regards to the traf fic handled, but the local office supervises the Murphy branch's business records. Historical Station Southen Bell bought the Waynos ville Telephone company from John Swift on March Hi, 191b'. At that time there was a pay station in the Waynesvillt- Pharmacy an nex that took all coins including silver dollars. This receiver was such an unusual one that it was taken down and placed in the tele phone company's museum. The exchange office moved to its present location on Henderson's Corner in 1911!. It is being al tered now so that additional equip ment may be moved in. Kvenlually it is hoped to bring a dial system to Waynesville. Heavy cables to the Dayton Rubber plant area and to Lake Junaluska also will be laid and other lines improved. The busiest hours of the day are from 10:00 to 1:00 o'clock and from 4:00 until 5:00 p. in. Monday mornings arc always congested, and it is never possible to antici pate all times when there will be a heavy load of traffic. Some ot their busiest times were in emergency situations such as when the oil tanks exploded and on victory day. During the war and afterwards many long-distance calls to service men were placed, and the operators made special ef forts to get these through, for eign service is getting better, and connections have been made with Cuna, France, England, Switzer land, Hawaii, and other countries.
