Phone System
Is Undersoins q
Great Expansion


The issuance of the new tele-
phone directory this week gives
evidence of the great expansion
of Chapel Hills telephone sys-
tenn.
There are AZ pages Of sub
scribers' names in this years
book as against 36 in last years,
an increase of Is per cent.
In the last year, 42O tele-
phones have been added in the
homes and business places of
Chapel Hill and Carrboro. This
means 420 telephone instru-
ments, not subscribers, but the
lengthening of the list in the
book shows that there has been
an increase of between $50 and
400 in the number of subscrib-
ers.
The increase would have been
much larger if the Chapel Hill
Telephone Company (Which is
owned by the University could
have got the equipment it
needed.
I'VE put in an order Ia months
ago for enough switchboard
equipment for 800 new tele-
phones," said ]. S. Bennett, the
University's supervisor Of utili-
ties yesterday. 1T cannot be de-
livered to us till August. We hope
the installation will be complet-
ed by October. That will be
nearly two years after the plac-
ing Of the order.
Meanwhile, we have been
adding to our outside facilities
that is, stringing new cables and
putting up more poles where
they are needed, so that when
the installation at the central
exchange IL 1one thee ..ilI .bl

ments."
Since the middle of 1946 the
number of telephone instruments

Emily
Post

The following is a very modern
problem: MY husband just had
a television set installed and it is
creating a disagreement in the
family. When friend telephones
me while I'm looking at a pro-
gram that is especially interest
ing to me must 7 be interrupted
or can the person calling be told
to call back after the program?
Could this be considered rude?"
To say. s'Mrs. Jones is looking
at television" would seem discour-
teous. But to say, Mrs. Jones is
unable to come to the telephone
at the moment but asks if she
may call you in 10 Cor 20) min
utes" would be quite all right.
Wedding Invitation TO soIesmen
Dear Mrs. Post: My husband is
a salesman who hasn't an "ex-

OF his business connections he
receives unceasing invitations to
the weddings of his customers
daughters. He feels, and am in
clined to agree. that they call for
presents, but at the same time I
would like to ask you If sending
such presents to these completely
unknown brides is an obligation.
Answer: In my opinion such
presents not only are unnecessary
but quite uncalled for.
Eoting Watermelon
Dear Mrs. Post: Please tell us
the correct way to eat a slice of
watermelon at the dining table.
What about the seeds?
Answer: If a knife is supplied
you eat 1t with a knife and fork
just as you do a piece Of meat.
II a knife is not supplied, you
break into 1t, a mouthful at a
time, with the tines of the fork:
remove the seeds-also with fork
