THE HELLO GIRLS

Monday There We're 374O Local
Calls at the Grants Pass
Telephone Office.

Very few Of the Grants Pass people
who step up to the telephone and give
two short turns to the little lever at
the side Of the box have any idea Of
the number Of other people who are
doing the same thing and how many
times during the day they do it. The
Sunset Telephone Company has a
"count day" the 10Th Of each month,
on which all the offices in their sys-
tenn keep a record Of all local calls
made that day. Monday of this week
was count day" and in Grants Pass
the record showed 3740 calls for the
day. As the local business is handled
by two girls you can see that there
is some good reason for the occasional
delay in receiving response to the
ring. Think OF two girls, saying
number" 3740 times in one day be-
sides the numerous questions that
must be answered and the irate phone
holders that must be appeased when
their call is not answered before the
bell has ceased its jingle.
There are six girls in the Grants
Pass office, two on the local boards
and two on the long distance and two
book keepers. When the new central
energy system is installed there will
be three local boards and the local
business can be handled with more
satisfaction to the resident phone
holders. In the meantime the
Hello" girls will answer the 5000
and more calls daily aud make the
