Our three local telephone operators
are quite sick with Spanish inf1uenz4
and they have requested US to ask the
public to make only absolutely neces
sary calls. They further request that
no calls be made after 10 P. M. except
in cases of sickness. At present the
exchange is being operated by Misses
Marguerite and Loretta Ridgely, small
sisters OF the operators, and they are
working heroically. However, the task
is very heavy and at night these little
girls threats are completely exhaust
e4. The public should be willing to
relieve them as much as possible.
