Pathos And Comedy Found

Whole Range Of Human Emotions Are Record

gether a remarkable story of the part the telephone exchange plays in ren- dering help to distraught victims of fires, accidents, sickness or attempted burglaries. These services are common places in the night operators room, and rarely figure in the police reports. The identity of the principals is kept con fidential.
 One night recently a signal flashed from a Southside residence. The op- orator, receiving no response to her re- quest for the number, listened a mo- ment, and heard groans faintly making their way over the wire. Police were dispatched to the scene. A young wom- an lay on the floor suffering from the effects of poison. She was hurried to the hospital and recovered. It was later learned that the girl had attempted sui eide, and then, repenting, had sought the telephone to call assistance. After releasing, the receiver, she fell to the floor
 A story of how a collie dog helped to foil a robbery is related in the con else phraseology of the emergency book. The burglars, fearing the dogs howls would alarm the neighbors, chained it in an Ensley mercantile establishment while they proceeded to loot the store. In trying to break loose, the dog knock ed telephone receiver from it's place, and the telephone operator, answering the call, became suspicious of the dog s howls and notified the stores owner.
 His teeth chattering and his voice quavering with stark fear, a man called in from West End and asked a tele- phone operator to rush the police. Later inquiry developed that the caller was standing with the telephone in his hand while bullets from the revolver of a would-be assailant whizzed about him.
 Situations not untinged with humor

The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-09-14

While the greater part of Birming- ham slumbers, there is one agency that plays an important part in the various dramas, big and little, enacted through out the city during the dark hours of night. That agency is the telephone. Sometimes, it is bleak tragedy that unfOlds itself with lightning speed over the copper wires. In these instances, the local telephone exchange is called upon to assume an indispensable role fin furthering the movement of the play that of rushing help to the scene. Not infrequently, the humorous aspects of the little impromptu presentations quickly turn pathos into comedy.
 These happenings are recorded by Miss Myrtle Gilbert, night chief opera tor for the telephone company, and are preserved by Miss NJ. Goodwin, chief operator, in what is known as the emergency book" Written in con else, business-like English, this record nevertheless reflects the whole range of human emotions.
 Miss Gilbert can give expert testi- mony to the excitability of the huWan race under exceptional pressure. The mother, in cry that is half shriek, tells the operator that "Tommy is dying!" and hangs up the receiver. A list of physicians is con suited, and one nearby is rushed to the address. Fires are frequently re- ported in similar fashion. In the night operators room, these emergencies are handled with breathless rapidity. In instances where the frantic caller neg lects to give an address, these are hur- riedly sought from the records while the operator is calling an ambulance, the police station, the fire department, a neighboring physician, or relative.
