Have you ever had a splinter in
your thumb? Or a rusty tack in your
foot in the old barefoot days? Worse
yet, maybe you've broken an arm at
some time or other.
If anything like that ever happens
again look around for a telephone
man, because the chances are that he
will be able to administer skilled first
aid treatment.
About ninety-fiye per cent of the
linemen, cable spiders, installers, etc.,
employed by the Bell Company are
capable of rendering efficient and eff
fective first-aid in almost any kind of
accident or sudden illness. It's a part
of their training and the enthusiasm
displayed by these men at the state
wide contests which are held yearly
is indicative of the spirit with which
they enter into Ii.
Groups of employees have organized
First-Aid teams in every telephone
district in Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Delaware and in the spring of
each year are held the elimination
contests to determine just which team
Is the best in its own particular ter
ritory. Medals and silver cups are
presented to the winners in these on
tests, and the leading medical authori-
ties In each community are asked to
serve as judges. Theirs is usually a
pretty hard task. For before arriving
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1922-08-23

at a decision, these judges must con.
slider the effectiveness of bandages or
treatment applied to the patient: the
degree of neatness attained by the
team In its work; the name in
which the patient is handled; which
team is quickest in administering
treatment (for very ofte~ life is hang
ing in the balance and speed is essen
tial) and many Their points must be
taken into consideration before award
ing the honors.
Each team is there to win and that
means that they have spent many
hours "boning" for the contest, as well
as considerable time spent in practice
for the occasion.
Many times have telephone men
been able to save lives by stopping the
flow of blood from severed arteries |;
by administering artificial respiration
In cases of near drowning; Oh by
knowing just how to treat cases Of
sun stroke or heat prostration. Ban
daging broken bones is another first
aid accomplishment at which they ex-
Gel.
So If you ever run a splinter in your
thumb Or break an ARM, just be sure
to have the accident occur in the
neighborhood where there are tele-
phone men working. Call to them and
you'll find them eager to be good
Samarltans.

MANY RECEIVERS
LEFT Off The HOOK
Over 100000 Phone Users in
Penna., N. J. and Del. Forgot
Them Last Year.

During the year 1921 more than
100000 telephone receivers were care
lessly left off the hook by telephone
users In Pennsylvania, Delaware and
New Jersey.
Some of them forgot to replace the
receiver after finishing a conversation /;
some left the telephone before finish
Ing and forgot to come back others
placed the telephone so that the re-
c%eiver, although on the hook, rested
upon a book or magazine and did not
fully depress the hook. There are
many others reasons why receivers
are left off the hook, but in each case
the result was the same. The opera
tor received a steady sigma. and get
ting no response to her Number,
please" she reported the line out of
to the telephone. The bowler is an
instrument which when connected to
a telephone having the receiver off the
hook causes a shrill, whistling sound
to come from the receiver. If some
body hears the noise and hangs up the
receiver, all Is well.
However, If the bowler fails to at
tract attention it Is necessary for a
repairman to make a trip to the Of
Tending telephone, which means that
the service from that telephone Is cut
off until he gets there. For 1t is me-
cessary to plug out" the line in order
TO put out the signal light before the
operator.
1t requires anywhere from five min
utes to five hours to correct each of
these cases. The average was twenty
minutes. That means that on the aver
age each one of those 100000 tele-
phones was out of service for twenty
minutes. Thus 100000 minutes of
telephone service a lost by these
subscribers last year because they for
got to hang up the receiver.

TELEPHONE SERVICE.
AT SUMMER RESORTS
Telephones, Idle in Winter, useO
Night and Day During inc
Summer Season.

Comparing the demands for tele-
phone service at summer resorts dur
ing the heighth of the season with the
same demands during the winter Is
like comparing an elephant with a
gnat.
II Is not an uncommon thing for the
telephone calls originating at a sum-
mer resort during the season to in
crease one thousand per cent over the
calls originating there during the win
ter months.
During the winter months there Is
practically no demand for telephone
service in most of the resorts in Penn
sylyania ard in n particular case
the exchange is closed down entirely
and the few subscribers who want SER
vice are switched over to a nearby eX-
change which Is operated during the
entire year.
Bat with the coming of June and
the summer residents there Is a change.
Additional operators must be assigned,
telephones installed in cottages, no.
tells and clubs. Oftentimes extension
of existing lines must be made in or
der 10 provide adequate facilities for
growth and expansion of the resort.
The influx of summer residents at
these resorts begins about June LIST,
and from then on until the clos1 of
the season, which is around October
list, the telephone exchanges are work
ing TO capacity, handling local and
long distance calls. In September the
telephone traffic gradually falls off I'M
til by October LIST there is very little
telephone activity. Indeed, a glance
at the deserted switchboard would
cause one to wonder just why all that
equipment is necessary for the few
calls handled, but the summer months
tell the tale.
In New Jersey and Delaware, how
ever, many of the coast resorts OBJ
serve an all year season and conse-
quently the winter months do not
mark the conclusion of telephone ac-
t~ivities, bu even in those cases, the
summer teleI hone traffic exceeds the
traffic for the winter months.

ENFORCING ORDINANCE.

The local police are enforcing the
ordinance which prevents the blocking
OF sidewalks by merchants making a

of their business places. Recently
Class & Souchal, at Main street and

Magistrate Brown by Sergeant Naylor
and fined $3.50. Warren Burroughs,
of South Main street. was also brought
before Magistrate Brown for the same
offense.
