A FINDER OF PEOPLE

Emergencies are constant
ly arising which make 1t nee
essary to communicate with
persons whose exact loca-
tions are not known. In
view of this fact Bell opera
tors everywhere give the
most scrupulous care to To-
eating people and bringing
them together in emergencies
when probably no other
means of communication
would be available.
Bell operators are trained
to follow any reasonable clue.
They have complete infor-
nation concerning residents
in every district. and can often
find parties wanted by street
addresses. occupation. busi-
ness or other indications in
the absence Of names. Their
facilities for locating tran
sients are good. Messengers
are on duty at railway sta
tions, and are frequently able
to intercept travellers by des-
cription, and bring them to
telephone.
Night service is Particu-
larly thorough and sympa..
thetic, for it is recognized
that calls then, when the
community is asleep, are
likely to be Of the utmost
urgency.
Toll charges in emergency
messages are no higher than
ordinary rate, and in most
cases the results cannot be
weighed on a money basis.
