Dial PhOning Places
Girls in New Light

From the Des Moines Tribune-CapitaI.
Don't we owe the telephone girls an
apology? We used to denounce them
for wrong numbers. But who doesn't
give himself wrong numbers now when
dialing a phone?
When we reflect how often memory
slips, even between looking at the book
and twirling~ the dial, how can we
blame the girls for their errors at the
switchboard in earlier days?
If all the telephone users for the
last so years who condemned the
girls were to pass in review, 1t would
take SO more years for them to apollo
gize enough for their unjust crankfness
Let us hope they damn themselves now
for the same mistakes.
