ZION TELEPHONE
SERVICE EXPANSION

Nearly 5000 miles of wire
in telephone cable are now be-
ing built into the Zion and Win
throp Harbor communications
network to help meet the ire
mendous demand for service in
this area, it was announced by
0. H. Tegtmeyer, manager for
the Illinois Bell Telephone
Company.
The cable going in is chief
ly the exchange" type, which
is necessary to connect sub
scribers' telephones with dial
switching equipment in the
Zion exchange at 1855 Sheri-
dan Road, which also serves
Winthrop Harbor. The service
expansion project involves
nearly 3.4 miles of cable, with
the largest sections containing

1900 individually wrapped
wires.
Telephone crews have al
ready pulled more than a mile
of the cable through under
ground "ducts," or tubes, in
existing conduit, from the Zion
exchange north to 21st Street.
From this point more than a
mile and a half of new pole
line was built to carry the cable
by air to 9th Street in Win
throp Harbor, because under
ground conduit in this portion
of the route is already filled.
A third leg of the cable was
buried by trenching machines
alone 9th Street, from Sheri-
dan Road west to Gabriel Ave-
nue.. This section will not only
increase the number of wires
available, but will also elimi-
nate a pole line. From 9th
and Gabriel Streets, new cable
will travel on the existing
aerial route south to 10Th
Street.
"Work on the project will
continue through the WINTER"
Mr.. Tegtmeyer said, "and the
company expects to complete
the job next spring. By that
time we should be able to fur
nish new telephone service to
all persons in Zion and Win
throp Harbor whose orders are
now delayed because of the
cable shortage"
The various sections of cable
must be spliced together, and
in some places this means MAX
ing 2,400 ends meet, wire for
wire. Splicing work on cable
already placed is now under
way.

MRS. POTTER HEARS
FROM DAUGHTER AT
DURHAM, AFRICA

Mrs. Dessa Potter of Zion

news of the safety of her
daughter Elsie, her husband
Gerald Lee and family, who
are on missionary work in
southern Africa at Durham,
where the difficulty between
the natives and the Indians
broke out in riots some days
ago.
In a letter dated January 16,
1949, Elsie writes -
''For a long time the Native
folk have been chatting under
the black-market prices that
the Indians have been charg-
ing them. The Indians cater to
Native and Indian trade in
their stores. In nearly every
Native community there is an
Indian store.
"The Natives and Indians
have separate bus ramp from
the Europeans and last Thurs
day evening an Indian hit a
Native boy around twelve years
old and knocked his head
through the glass in front of
a store near this ramp. This
just started things! The Ma
tives broke loose with stones,
sticks, etc., hitting the Indians,
breaking windows, holding up
buses, and rioting in general,
in the downtown area. We did
not know anything about it un-
til we read about it in the pa

THIS WEEK AT ZION
GARDENS
Bv Fred Richards


First of all, this week, I
want to thank all our custom
ers for the wonderful business
we received on Valentines
Day. It is certainly the day to
"Say it with Flowers" and we
appreciate that you "Said it
with ours"!
Last week Zion Gardens ran
a Cash-and-Carry special on
Jonquil bouquets. The sale was
very successful and we are 60
ing to have more of them. The
sales will be run on Friday and
Saturday and will be Cash
and-Carry only. Watch our
window for this weeks Special,
especially the Ladies as we
have something extra special
for them.
Here is a note of interest to
people who telegraph flowers
If we can have your order
at least a week in advance, you
can save money on your tele-
gram as we can send the or
der by mail. A Night Letter to
California costs ninety-eight
cents. If you will order early
it will cost you six (6c) cents.
We don't care what you do
with the money you save; but
you certainly should save it.
We notice people standing
on our lawn everyday looking
into the greenhouse. To those
of you who would like to look
around come in anytime you
wish. There are a lot of plants
in bloom now and they are
guaranteed to give you spring
fever. It may be cold and bare
outside, but inside you see
growing plants, masses of col
or, and the scent of Spring.
Zion Dollar Day is schedul-
ed for Friday, March 4th. If
you want to stretch your Dol
lar bring it to Zion Gardens on
Dollar Day and you are guar
anteed to get a good bargain
in return.
