THE TELEPHONE NUISANCE

In the May American Magazine ar
indignant writer objects to supplying
free telephone facilities to the entire
countryside. This letter gives a good
example of the outrageous demands
that thousands of country people
make upon their neighbors every day.
I'VE don't object to paying for our
neighbor's telephone convenience. It's
being reused out of our first sound
sleep at night-or, worse yet, the last
delicious snooze in the morning-that
we seriously object to.
It's putting on our goloshes and
raincoat and wading a quarter of a
mile through slush, just to ask Mrs.
X to please step to the phone. It's
coming back and finding Jack, Jr.,
stuffing Baby Betty with popcorn, to
tell Mrs. Y. that Mrs. X. is not at
home.
briefly, then, to cut short a tragic
story, never put Baby in her tub, pie
in the oven, or lather my scalp with
tar soap that | do not have to enter
tain a neighbor who just ran in to
phone, and who remained hours to
gossip.
But the proverbial last straw was
added when a newcomer, compara-
tive stranger to us, asked If l would
mind putting the key under the mat
when we went out so she could tele-
phone her husband. The part that
rankles is that | did
MATTERS have come to a crisis and
but one Of two courses is open to us.
The first is to sell our home, since a
telephone is a business necessity with
us, and move to a telephone equipped
neighborhood. The second and prac-
tically decided upon course of action
is to enclose with glass a small square
porch opening off the dining-room,
and turn it into telephone booth for
the use Of our neighbors.'
