Twenty.Five-Cent Fees.
The community fund offered to help
financially, but the "25-Cent Yacht
Club" was such a success from the be-
ginning that it hasn't been necessary to
use any of this money.
Walter (Jack) Wood, who started .
dinghy sailing program at NIT that
now has spread to half-hundred col
leges, was named commodore of the new
club.
He has established shore schools to
train young and old in the fundamentals
of sailing, and once passed in swimming
tests the recruits are allowed to try
hand-frst as green seaman, then red"
seamen and finally ordinary seaman.
Nearly half the 1000-odd members are
girls-and Wood says that while they're
bit timid at first, once they learn the
rudiments they've ranked among the
best sailors.
Servicemen are eligible for Junior
membership and Wood likes to tell the
story of the sailor from Texas who
brought two girl friends down for a sail.
He had been to sea on battleship but
that was the extent of his sailing
The girl friends were impressed, how
ever, and they set out.
A tricky shift of wind put our hero in
trouble Immediately and when he tried
to head the dinghy into the wind, the
little craft capsized.
A rescue boat brought the three to
shore and the Texan, bit sheepishly,
explained
How was to know these things don't
have keel to keep their topside up?"
Wood. who has been sailing since he
came to Tech in 1914 and brought his
boat along-the only sailboat in the
Charles Basin at the time-says:
If you can sail dinghy, you can sail
anything"

Unavoidable delay also occurs while
information asked for is being gathered
from files or elsewhere. Here it is
courteous to make an estimate, even If
inaccurate, on the amount of time re-
qu1red. The answer puts it up to the
caller whether or not he wants to wait
that long, or would prefer to hang up
and call back later.

Orlo put one and one together. chased

When another news service auered its

A few years ago Charles w. Morton,
jr, reporter on the Boston Transcript
had to wait little longer than usual
for his dinner at home one night, idly
turned on the radio, and happened to
catch financial commentator
The man had been giving talk at
that hour every night for several years
but that was the first time Morton
had happened to hear him. Something
about his spiel aroused Mortons suspi-
clons, and the next day, posing as
gulllble investor, he started snooping
around the commentators office His
findings led to the expose by the Tran
script of whole string of bucket shops
and financial charletans.
Japanese Invasion Scoop.
Victor Eubank, now on the A. F. S Wall
Street staff, will testify that you can't
even dodge a big story swimming in
the middle of an obscure lake in Japan

In 1927 Eubank, chief of. the A. P.
Toxic Bureau, played bridge all night
at the British Embassys summer annex
100 miles north of Toxic, and then de-
cided to take sunrise swim in Lake
ChuzenZi
He had padded far out from shore
when his natatorial serenity was ruff1ed
by the CRATE of oarlocks. A beaming
Jap rowed up, explained in precise Ok
ford English that he had thought per-

TIMES A-WASTIN'!"
Nowhere is the saying truer than IN
the use of the telephone. Any amount
of this precious commodity, time, which
is supposed to be on the side OF the
United Nations, has been squandered
over wires
Uncle Sam himself has been forced to
take steps to remedy the evil. They are
not drastic, so far. He has merely asked.
and obtained, the cooperation of the
Chesapeake e. Potomac Telephone Co.
in an educational campaign to teach
telephone users how to conserve time.
The response of the company was
prompt and willing. Even without a
war, it would still be good idea not to
have so many of it's lines and equipment
tied up for unnecessary calls and un-
necessarily long ones; and with war
on it becomes vital to keep the wires
open for important business. The COM
pany therefore conducted a training
class for selected members of its female
personnel, showing these girls how to
show others the right and the wrong
ways Of making telephone calls. Then,
when they got the idea, they were sent
out, and are being sent out, to various
Government departments and to private
industries, to put across their teachings.
They go out equipped with telephone
receivers fastened on a large table,
around which the audience sits; a NOV
able mouthpiece is passed around the
table for testing. and the mirrophone, a
recording device which talks back"
gives each chance to hear how his or
her voice sounds to Others
The mirrophone produces many sur
prises. Mr.. John Smith, who hitherto
considered that his phone voice was
satisfactory, may learn to his surprise
that 1t Is quite faulty. He may sound
like he is talking Czecho- -Slovakian
Even in the simple matter of pronounc-
ing his own name he may slip badly
enough to have it sound like Tom Pitts.
This Is bad enough if there is no Tom
Pitts in the organization and still worse
II there is. Plenty of time is wasted in
this manner.
But even If John Smith. answering the
telephone, gives his name clearly, that
Is not sufncient. In the frst place, was

he forced to give it, by inquiry from the
party at the other end, or did he volun-
teer it right off the bat? If he did the
latter, so much to the good.
However, suppose the call is over a
business phone during business hours.
Under those conditions he should do
more than just give his name. 1t isn't
likely that he is being called up by Jane
Jones to make fourth at bridge-and
If he is, Jane should be ashamed of her.
self for making such a call in business
hours No, the chances are that John is
wanted somehow in connection with his
duties. Perhaps the invisible caller at
the other end wants certain definite de-
partment, say bookkeeping, and may
never have heard of John Smith. So, If
John is good telephonist, he will say,
John Smith-bookkeeping" Quite a
few seconds are saved by this procedure;
especially if the caller really wants the
repair department or something else out
of Johns line.
John, the good telephonist, completes
this call and gets to work Ten seconds
later his phone rings again. Unlike the
previous one, this call is really important
much depends on it. It calls for imn1e-
dlate decision, and part of its fruits are
several letters to be sent and maybe a
wire or two.
Quick Action.
Two different calls-no relation be-
tween them. But they are connected
more vitality than one might suppose. Tho
important call would never have come
if the first one had not been handled
properly, for so much time would nave
been wasted that the line would have
been busy.
But would it not have come through
later in any event? Well, maybe. The
caller would perhaps, try again-but
what if the line were busy then? He
might well drop the whole thing for the
day, or maybe forever-quite a penalty
for bit of time wasting.
Some delays are unavoidable. A call
for Henry Jones is not of much use if he
is out Of the building, but even here
there is ample room for time saving tao
tics. Some one is going to have to report
to the caller that Jones Is away, and it
makes a lot of difference how that is
done. Just stating the fact badly = not
enough.
