Telephone Lines Buzz 10 ENGLAND

It was about two o'clock in the
morning in England, and John had
sat up all night waiting for Mil
dred's call. It had been arranged
by letter that she was to call Sum
day.
Il was thought one reason the
call took 50 long was that % many
lines were tied up with the Jap
anese peace negotiations.
This was the Longest call ever
placed through the Kennewick
Valley Telephone Company Of
flee. They have placed calls all
over the United States, Canada
and to Mexico, but this was their
first Trans Oceanic call.
Later in the week, Mrs. J. D.
Beinhart was told that her daugh-
ter Ruth, was trying to call her
from Switzerland, but by the
time Mrs. Beinhart got on the
line and Switzerland was called
back, Ruth wasn't there. Mrs.
Beinhart thought that Ruth, who ID
an army nurse, probably had to
report back to duty and couldn't
wait the long hours needed 10 get
q call through. She hopes they
will be more successful next time.

The office of the KCR was still
q bubble Of excitement Monday
morning. The reason being that
its Girl Friday" had called her
husband in England and actually
talked to him for five whole min
utes on Sunday afternoon.
The cold facts of the story are:
Mrs. Mildred Egger, the dauRh-
ter Of Mr., and Mrs. Walter Bowen,
and our "Girl Friday, called Eng
land to talk with her husband
Pfc. John Egger. John Is with
the Base Air Depot, stationed near
Blachpool, England.
Mildred placed the call at 1885
am. and then started her long
vigil. The call was routed through
New York. About one hour after
the call was placed here, the over
seas operator in New York &C
cepted it. Then another long wait.
Finally at SOS pm, the call came
through.
Mildred said that those five
minutes were about the most
thrilling Of her whole life. Johns
voice came through very clear,
making it hard to realize that q
whole ocean and a continent sepa-
rated them.

Properly Owners
Construct Sewer

An example Of community en-
terprise was carried to successful
completion during the past weeks
by the residents Of North Kent
Street in the construction OF their
sewer line.
Ten property owners Joined for
ceS to construct the sewer without
recourse to the usual local i'm
provement district plan. Due to
the manner in which the land lay
it was necessary to excavate to
maximum depth of 1874 feet. Cost
was approximately $l.30 per front
foot which was pro-rated on q
frontage basis.
The property owners prepared
their own plans and survey. They
reported that the city was highly
cooperative on the job and sup
piled material for the manhole
at the juncture Of the Kent sewer
with the trunk sewer on Kenne-
wick avenue. Most Of the hand
labor was done by some OF the
owners.
Twin City Construction Co. did
the excavating with their drag
line and sewer pipe was furnished
and layed by the Reese Concrete
Pipe CO.
Property owners involved were
William Britton, Melvin GLASGOW,
z. L. Morse, Dick Rector, n. E.
Oliver, F. Spitzeri Mrs. William
Blair, J. L. dip, Mrs. M. Bjerk-
ness and Clement Cejka.

Someone who carefully took
pains to remain anonymous has
taken us to task for our comments
about Pasco getting the publicity
in connection with the release
of information about the atomic
bomb. The post card was date
lined Pasco and painstakingly
printed, without signature. #
Mr.. Anonymous will re-read the
material published in the copies Of
the KCR which he has no doubt
carefully saved for posterity, he
will find that we were not sour

lamenting the shortcomings Of our
colleagues of the Fourth Estate
