Progress in Telephone Service Related

Of the telephone, on March 3, 1847.
Although born in Edinburgh, Scot
land, Bell was. an American by
choice, coming to Boston at the age
of "a to teach the use of visible
Speech" developed by his father
for training the deaf to speak.
A deep and scientific interest in
the mechanics Of speech, an inven-
tive streak and the challenge Of
making the telegraph talk" led to
his experiments which produced the
telephone. On June 2, 1875, he first
succeeded in transmitting sound
over wire and one of his expert
mental telephones transmitted the
first complete sentence on March 10,
1876, just a week after his 29th
birthday anniversary.
In addition to being a great sci
enlist, Bell was a man of remark
able vision, which led him only two
years after the telephone was in
vented to foresee the day when a
man in one part of the country may
communicate by word of mouth with
another in distant place."
The fulfllment of that prediction
has revolutionized communications
in the United States and throughout
the world. Progress has continued
uninterruptedly ever since Bell cre-
ated the telephone. In the United
States alone, there are now more
than 80 million telephones in use,
more than double the number in 1910.
Since VI Day four and a half mil
lion instruments have been installed.
A major phase Of the telephone
company's postwar program is to
extend and improve farm telephone
service. The telephone, it is point
ed out, always has been the farm
er's "good friend and loyal assist
ant''-in business, in time Of sick
ness or emergency, or as means
of keeping in touch with relatives
and friends.
These benefits will be extended to
more rural families under the lsO
million dollar rural expansion pro.
gram with its objective of million
more farm telephones.

Cores summit, are expert trails
which intermediate skiers can
use in the springs corn snow.
North Creek villagers assert that
nowhere else can one ski on such
jeweled trail with changing
'vistas of high mountain peaks.
Skiers have been flocking to North
Creek for years for the simple rea-
son that snow lies deep on the slopes
and especially on Gore mountain,
which rises from the village to an
elevation of 3,595 feet. Everything
the winter sports fan desires is at
North Creek.
Children Get Lessons.
Firm believers in controlled ski
ing and upholding Otto Schnieb's
famous statement that skiing is a
way of life," instruction is offered
to children from to 18, who gather
on the slopes every Friday afternoon
to take lessons. Annually there is
a children's ski race when the Top
ping trophy is in competition.
Special awards are made to
winners but North Creek enter
prise believes skiing should be
encouraged and as result all
contestants win prize for par
ticipatiOn.
The Barton trophy race, sane
toned by USEASA, is held annually
on the Garnet trail, mile long and
with a drop of approximately 1000
feet.
Eighty-six members make up

affiliated with the national ski patrol
system, and the ages range from the

BETTER Than PILLS
FOR CONSTIPATION
Finds Famous Breakfast
Cereal Most Helpful of All

Have you given up hope of be-
ing regular" again? Then read
this sincere, unsolicited letter:
Il am a registered nurse and ! know
what a problem constipation is. especially
with patients deprived of their usual physi-
cal activities. Where pills brought tenn
porary relief. eating KELLOGG'S ALL
BRAN regularly actually prevented irregu-
larity in more cases than can mention.
Your product is great boon to our mod
ern age" Miss Katherine z. Walsh. Town
Hall. Newington. Conn.
Yes, eating ALL-BRAN regu-
larly often brings lasting relief
from constipation due to lack of
bulk in the diet. For best results,
eat it for breakfast every day
and drink plenty of water. Try
KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN for 10
days! If by that time you are not
completely satisfied, send the
empty carton to the Kellogg Com
pany, Battle Creek, Michigan, and
get double your money back!
ALL-BRAN is not a purgative
but q wholesome food made from
the vital outer layers Of whole
wheat. Eat daily either as a cereal,
or in mullins. Ask your grocer for

Tiny Adirondack Village Leads
In Winter Sport Development
Garnets Glitter
Along Ski Trails
At North Creek
WNU Features.

NORTH CREEK, N. Y. -
Determined to improve the
opportunities nature gave 1t
when it placed a 5000 foot
mountain right in it's back
yard, this tiny Adirondack vii
lage, long known as a pioneer
in NewYork state winter sport
DEVELOPMENT, has entered an
other bid for fame this sea-
son. It has installed what the
village fathers describe as
the first electrically operated
Constam Thar lift in the east
ern United States.
The lift pulls skiers up the entire
5000 foot slope Of Gore mountain-a
labor saving device that adds I'M
measurably to enjoyment Of the
sport and vast popularity to North
Creek as a ski center.
The new electric lift is an ex-
cellent example of community spirit
in operation. Skiing is a community
enterprise in the little town Of 703
inhabitants, whose pattern Of life is
tied up with it. When it was decided
to put in the new Alpine lift, the
money as on previous occasions was
raised by the townsfolk.
Form First Patrol.
Back of this venture was the rec
objection of North Creeks record as
a winter sports specialist. 1t was
at this little Adirondack town that
the first ski patrol in the United
Stateswas organized. On Gore noun
tain's slopes the first down-mountain
ski trail in New York state was
laid out and this small skiing center
was the destination of the first snow
train in the state on March 2, 1884.
That train, as the villagers recall,
came from Schenectady and was
planned to handle crowd of 500-
but 700 took the trip.
North Creek also pioneered
the famous "Ride Up - Slide
Down" slogan, when buses were
provided to. carry skiers from
the bottom of the trails up the
winding mountain road, which
leads to the noted garnet mines
and to the beginning of five we'll
known trails.
1t was this highway that made
North Creek the original "down hill''
ski center in the East, for it is from
the top of the highway that the
Gore mountain network Of downhill
trails radiates:

slopes, hut and other facilities pro-
