HOW MANY CALLSG
Pastor of the Church
N. C..

How many calls do you suppose
Hendersonville operators answer in
one little hour composed of sixty
minutes or $500 seconds?
No, you guessed wrong. It's more.
Between the hours of nine and ten
of the morning of August 9Th last
they answered 1920 calls.
During the twenty-four hours of the
same day they answered just 1925
separate calls. Sure, that's goins
some, but it was about the average for
the busy days of the season, or al
most any season.
There are eighteen operators in the
exhange in the First Bank & Trust
building right now. There are 55O
telephones in the city. Since 1912 the
number shows a steady and substan-
tial increase. In August of 1912 there
were 484 telephones. In 1918 there
were 635. Manager A. S. Truck es'
Inmates that in August of this year
there will be 675. There are also
about eighty telephones connecting
the farmers with the exchange, not
reckoned in the above.
And, incidentally, under the very
efficient management of Mr.. Truck,
the service is fine, as you know. !

Two Influential Factors

Lord Birkenhead who was Sir Frrd-
erick Smith before his elevation to the
peerage. is q young man with much
influence among the younger Conserva
tives. Winston Churchill also a young
man, and Lord Birkcnhead's most in
innate personal friend, has similar in
fuence among the younger Liberals.
There has been much battling specula
tion among politicians why Lloyd
George made Churchill minister of war
and why he agreed to the selection of
Lord Birkenhead as lord chancellor. 1t
now seems apparent that he did 50
during the war with the object of at
tnching the young Conservatives and
Liberals to himself for the time when
Reorganization of political parties aud
policies would come after peace.
The new party has not yet reached
the stage of development where name
has been selected for it. but it is pos
sible that some such mixed title as
"I.iberal Conservative may be chosen
IL the name Progressive is passed
over. The policy Of the party will be
midway between the standpat attitude
of the official Conservatives and the
ultra radicalism of the laborltes. II
will favor domestic reforms along pro
gressive lines. including the nationalist
tion of basic industries.
