recommending changes.
The members of the board, after

No, Edison. But Henry Hiden.

1t is not generally known, but to Orange
belongs the credit OF originating the tele-
phone, though the idea was never followed
up to any remunerative degree. During
the war, when boys had but few amuse-
ments in this bartle-tossed town, Henry
Hiden and Jim Robinson who lived in
the west end, constructed a string ilne
between their respective residences, the
string being attached to a tin can at each
house, over which conversations We're
crudely carried on merely for fun and
with no thought of its wonderful possible
ties. Little dreamed those youngsters that
their idea would be utilized by Edison
and expand into the wonderful telephone
system Of to-day.-OranSe observer
