TELLING THE PUBLIC
ABOUT TELEPHONE
William c. Bamburgh of New England
Company Gave Talk at Bailey Hall,
Montpelier, Last Evening.

| At Bailey hall, Montpelier, last night
William c. Bamburgh of the publicity de
partment of the New England Telephon,
| & Telegraph company talked to the EN-
ployes Of the Montpelier and Barre ex.
change district about Telling the Pub
lie The purpose Of this talk was to in.
form the employees concerning the efforts
now being made by the company in de.
veloping better understanding between
them and the telephone using public
Such an understanding is probably more
necessary in the use of the telephone
service than in the relationship Of the
public to any other public utility which
is used so literally in daily life.
THE illustrated lectures which Mr..
Bamhurgh will talk about are the best
means of telling the public about the eff.
forts we have to make in establishing
and maintaining telephone service. and
the things which they must also do so
that our efforts may not be wasted, said
Manager Gowdey in introducing the
speaker. "We feel that better under
standing of our problems by telephone
users results in better and pleasanter re
lations in our everyday life, and it is to
further these relations that we are max
ing arrangements for these lectures.
In describing his work and the prep.
arations which are necessary to equip
any manager in the New England terri
tory TO make such an address before a
women's club, or high school class. or
a mems club, or board of trade, or as an
at a fraternal meeting,
Mr.. Bamburgh said:
Zone thing about the opportunity and
the manner of telling the people about
the service must be carefully defined"
said Mr.. Bamburgh. you must not
think that there is any advertising in
these lectures for we are not advertising
telephone service nor toll service. nor any
kind of equipment at all. The story
which we are telling in our lectures is
'ul of simple and understandable de /
ieriptions of the telephone plant and the
equipment of the central offices, and the /
wonderfully intricate construction of UNI |
lerground cables and overhead circuits.
AT the present time the necessity for I
he justifable conservation of all forms

city had raised $1,000 for helping out in
the various war activities. 1t had $4,000

100 gallons of fruit and vegetables had
been canned, to be sold during the win

"Sabethas plan is unique in that it
was originated by the citizens of the
town themselves. They decided to have
one big, all-inelusive organization. Be-
fore the Kansas council of defense had
its plans under way. the townspeople
were busy with the activities ehampioned
by themselves.
The first money, amounting to over
5000, was raised on a tag day early in
the season. Then the women were regis

The team work of the seminarans was

Grana and Lance played the strong
