in those days had a hard task and
usually they would receive the blame
when the subscriber could not hear.
In this respect things have not
changed. The operators of the pres
ent day are forced to handle the
"cranks," crabs" and others Of SIM
liar disposition.
The hours then were much long
er. The operators went to work at
Z o'clock in the morning and worked
until II o'clock and after an hour
for lunch they returned and worked
until I o'clock. They would be given
two hours off and at o'clock they
would return to duty and work un-
til . o'clock. Every other day they
would follow this schedule. On the
other days they began work at S

According to Miss Whiting the
lineman often went for a week at q

year . Danish postal clerk named
Einar Hoelbell. was cancelling the
stamps on the great flood Of Christi
mas mail going through the office
while he worked. As he struck the
numerous letters he was thinking
Of the fact that Copenhagen needed
4 hospital for children in tubetcular
condition. Suddenly came the far
reaching idea of combining the two
things In his mind-of having
stamps of which at least a part of
the purchase price should be used
for charity. He secured the endorse
ment of Danish royalty and in the
next pear the first labels were is
sued. The idea spread to other Eu-
ropean countries until now num-
bers of them issue labels every
Christmas for charitable purposes.
In Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg.
and Switzerland these are really
postage stamps, but are sold at a
premium over face value and are
good for postage only for face. the
excess going for tuberculosis relief
or other similar purpose. In other
countries the labels have no postal
value but are used as seals as in the
United States.
First Christmas Seals
An American social worker named
Jacob Riis received letter from his
old home in Denmark at Christmas
in 1906. and 1t bore one Of these
seals. He used it as the basis Of a
magazine article and a Miss Emily
Bissell Of Wilmington. Del. decided
that it was advisable and feasible o
have similar labels in this country.
Accordingly. she designed and had
printed some simple square stickers
with red cross holly leaves. and
merry Christfhas-Happy New
Year" on them. These were issued
under the aegis OF the Delaware
chapter of the American Red Cross,
and $4,000 worth of them were sold.
The national organization of the
American Red Cross was so encour-
aged by this response that the next
year 1t took over the work of the
Delaware group and spread the sales
all over the country. The sales that
first year totaled $1s5,000. Begin

night Phone CALLS
RARE BACK IN IS
Early Operator in This City Re
calls Pioneer Service

Hello"
About 1885 when the telephone
was in, its infancy this was the
method in which the operator call
ed attention to the fact that she was
ready to hear the number the sub
scriber wished to call. There were
only 200 telephones in thi: city and
only two operators to care for the
calls.
Today there are over 1900 tele-
phones in New Britain and with the
increase came many changes. In the
words of Miss Estelle A. Whiting OF
57l Stanley street. one Of the first
operators employed by the Southern
New England Telephone Co. prac-
tically everything is changed since
that time.
Miss Whiting went. into the en-
ploy of the New Haven branch was
the first in Connecticut and one or
the first established in New England.
After three months of work In that
city she came to New Britain. AL
though she did not 60 back to the
operators position for about five
years she did finally accept a place
with the company when 1t had
quarters in the Stanley building on
Main street. opposite Commercial
street.
There was one other operator EN-.
ployed at that time. Her name was
Miss Lulu Brownell. The personnel
of the company consisted Of four
employees, the manager, the lineman
and the two operators.
Times Change, Subscribers Never
Miss Whiting remembers the day
when the people Of New Britain
struggled with the phone. trying tc
New Britain herald., 1928-12-08

Previous to the time Miss Whiting
came to this city the telephone COM
pany was owned by one man. George
l., Reynolds having leased 4 few in
struments and sub leased them to
New Britain residents. 1t was not
until early this week that the COM
pany first learned the names of the
man who installed the first telephone
or the first subscriber. 1t was
brought cut in the death notice of
Charles w. Flagg of Short Beach,
that he installed the telephone in the
home of Elihu Burritt in the old
Burritt homestead in the rear of the
City National Bank.
A year later, in 1880. the company
was taken over by the Southern New
England Telephone Co. at time
when there were only 69 telephones
in service In the city.

continuing to print the seals, turned
them over to the National Tubercu-
losis association. which conducted
the sale and kept the net proceeds
for the study and prevention OF the
white plague Sales mounted an
nually and in 1916 topped the ST.
100000 mark for the first time. The
tuberculosis association took over the
entire work Of issuing and selling
the labels in 1920 and has continu-
ed to take care Of the whole pro-
gram since, then. In that year and
the next one sales we're slightly re-
tarded, but beginning in 1929 they
swept on again and last Christmas
they reached the total of $5.5000,00.
Always Bright and CHEEKY
The seals have all been CHEEKY az
fairs, beginning with the first crude
red squares and continuing through
to the present elaborate four-colcr
productions. Usually they have
shown Santa Claus. but in 1918 they
felt the war spirit and bore mill
tant female figure with shield and
torch. Then they resumed peaceful
ness in their subject matter. Many
of them are quite rare by now. and
the searcest. these issued in 1913 and
depicting st. Nicholas and his sleigh
and reindeer. are valued at from
$3.50 to $40.
The disposition Of the money re-
ceived from their sale is perhaps
not generally known. The local or
sanization which sponsors their sale
in town keeps SIS per cent Of the
proceeds for aiding Tuberculosis per.
sons in that town or city and for ed.
ucational anti-tuberculosis propa.
ganda there. The balance goes t.
the state and national organization!
and is used mainly TO defray the ex.
penses of printing the seals and CO.
ordinating nationally the work Of
the local and state societies.

Christmas Seal Descendant Of
Danish Project in 1908

Christmas seals. which are sold
annually for the relief of tubercu.o-
sis sufferers and the fight against
that disease. are usually considered
an innovation Of very recent times,
but not only have they been sold
each winter for Fl years but they
have grown from q seed sown 81
years ago, during the Civil war.
Hardly had the first shots OF that
conflict been fired when, in various
parts OF the country. women began
to form organizations to help wound.
ed soldiers. The government took
notice OF the movement and the war
department formed a sanitary COM
mission to collect money from the
public for use In relieving the SUI
ferings OF the wounded.
Human nature was no different
then from what 1t is now. and the
easiest way to raise money was In
connection with a good time, SO
sanitary fairs were held in many
cities, the nearest one to New Britain
being Springfield and Stamford. The
public flocked to these social events
rs 1t does to church socials today.
Special post Offices we're BET up at
the fairs and special delivery stick
ers were placed on sale at them.
These labels really had no postal
value. but the money which was OBJ
tanned from them was used in caring
for the afflicted soldiers OF the Union
armies.
Mail Clerks Idea
The idea was revived from time
to time In various countries of the
world. but 1t was not until 1908 that
1t received its real impetus. In that
