with some, all over the country A
prominent Washingtonian gets this
disease about once a month. He
really goes on a telephone spree
the greater the distance the longer
he talks.
Telephone subscribers are ap-
preciative of good service. Every
day brought letters Of commenda-
tion-a husband, brother, sister or
other relative located in, time OF
need; a doctor or ambulance rushed
to a sick one. Firemen are especially
ardent in their praise of telephone
operators. Telephone girls have re-
ceived medals for deeds of heroism
during disasters such as fires and
floods.
Nothing impressed me more dur
ing my special operator experience
than the service rendered the
physically handicapped. Telephone
operators, anonymous to the public
and, presumably, more or less
automatic in the service they
render, are understanding and
sympathetic. They go out of their
way to do everything possible to
help the blind, the deaf. and the
crippled. They say these people
are more cheerful, appreciative ano
considerate of others than those
who have all their faculties.
