New ef-Answering Telephone
Cheers Woman in iron Luna

When her telephone rang today
Mrs. Robert Averill didn't even
bother to lift it from a hook
But after two rings she said
Hello" and struck up as lively
a conversation as you please.
Mrs. Averill was talking from
her iron lung home-within-a-
home at 3511 Idaho avenue NV
It's been her second home for six
lyears-ever since she contracted
bulbar polio.
A couple of weeks ago. science
gave the alert. 35-year -old mother
of three, a new freedom she never
dreamed was possible. It was a
self answering telephone attached
to the iron lung-a means of keep
ing in closer touch with the world
about her.
CHEEKY Voice Responds.
A reporter for The Star, calling
her today, heard the CHEEKY voice
as it came through a mouthpiece
fastened to the respirator. about
two inches above eye level.
Eyes, it has meant much to me, %
said Mrs. Averill. ''Now my
friends can call, and I can answer,
Evening star., 1952-12-18

even when my husband or the
children are not here to help"
The telephone was installed by
wv. H. Shaw. an engineer of
Shawnee Research Laboratory,
Northf1eld, N. j., which perfected
the device. known as Semavox.
Outside her room, the telephone
bell rings twice and cuts in au-
tomatically for Mrs. Averill to
speak. The voice she hears comes
through a speaker placed on a.
table beside her pillow.
You say you are a reporter
Tor The Star?" Mrs. Averill took
over the interrogation. "You
folks must be proud of your Tooth
anniversary. I saw the edition
and thought it was excellent. And
I saw the two television shows
about the centennial Tuesday
night"
Looks to Dialing.
Mrs. Averill is even happier
ABOUT the possibility that, before
long she will be dialing the tele-
phone over a special device.
I can move my fingers" she
said, "and I think Mr.. Shaw is
working on dial that will work
by touch. like those used by blind
persons. I shouldn't have much
trouble learning to feel out the
letters and figures"
When that happens, Mrs.
Averill will be able to do more
than ever for the March Of Dimes
program.
Directions by Phone.
Last year. she served as cap
tain of the Mothers March on
Polio. directing other workers by
telephone. Soon she may be able
to make such calls unaided.
II want to help any way I can
during the drive" she said, "just
as my husband is helping"
Mr.. Averill, administrative as
sistant to the president of Cap
ital Airlines, speaks publicly for
the March Of Dimes as many as
three times a week.
Now with her new gift, the self
answering telephone, Mrs. Averill
will be as busy as he is.

Florida Citrus
Sees
Banner Year

LAKELAND R-Florida's grow
ing citrus industry is all set for
another big season.
The crop is ripening a little later
than last season, when grapefruit
moved the first week in Septem-
Der. 1t is expected to be another
two weeks before fresh fruit be-
GINS shutting north to market.
But buyers are in the field al
ready-Some openly lining up
fruit, others ''just looking around
so far.
Some groves are reported to
nave grapefruit that could pass
maturity tests now, but owners
are heSitating to cloud their repu-
tation by shipping fruit that just
gets by, although the lure of the
nigh prices always paid for early
fruit is inviting.
AS a matter of fact there is still
little grapefruit being marketed
from last seasons crop, but most
citrus men by now have their eyes
turned to the budding season.
From all reports, prospects are
bright.
The quality of fruit hanging on
the trees is reported good to ex-
cellent.
Surveys by Florida citrus groups
indicate the following with regard
to size of the crop: oranges up
slightly over last seasons record
1890, 900 boxes; grapefruit slight
ly less than the So million boxes
for 1852; and tangerineS about
the same as last seasons 412 mil
lion boxes.
The first official estimate of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
won't be out until Oct. 10.
One of the brightest notes is the
small carryover of processed cit
rus compared to last season. Not
only will this help move citrus
canned in the coming season, but
it also will mean a boost to fresh
fruit sales.
The Florida Citrus Commission
is planning its biggest advertising
outlay, with a budget of more than
two million dollars and an expand
ed merchandising staff of Al men.
Florida Citrus Mutual, the super
cooperative which embraces most
of the states growers, packers
and professors, has reorganized
along lines it hopes will straighten
out the kinks in its operations last
season.

Political
Notes
BY The Associated Press

Republican presidential nominee
Dwight Eisenhower, armed with an
experimental technique, rolled in
to the Midwest today while his
Democratic opponent took a
breather between campaign tours.
Eisenhower's plan, according to
one of his top advisers, is to re-
cite the campaign issues for his
listeners, then ask them: Are these
laughing matters?
AZ Gov. Sherman Adams of New
Hampshire put it: "The campaign
to elect the next President of the
United States is no laughing mat
ter, to be handled lightly with
quipS and puns."
This, then, would be Eisenhow-
er's first answer to the jabs thrust
his way by Illinois Gov. Adlai Ste
venSon, the Democratic presiden-
Nal nominee, during Stevenson's
campaign tour of the West.
How the crowds respond might
determine whether this technique
would be continued. The Eisenhow.
er train, after its first scheduled
stop at Fl. Wayne, Ind, heads for
StevenSon's home state, Illinois .
At the Springfield State Capitol
Stevenson was catching up on his
gubernatorial duties and. on the
basis of his experience in the West,
girding for an assault on the At
lantic Seaboard.
Stevenson's second major drive,
opening Thursday, will take him
through Connecticut, into Massa-
chusetts, New York, Maryland and
Virginia. His managers consider
New York reasonably SAFE" but
expect a grim fight in the four
other states.
The Eisenhower special will hit
a dozen states in as many days.
the generals talks are expected
to attack the Democrats on the is
sues of Korea, corruption and COM
munism.
Of the IL states, nine went for
President Truman in 1948 - ILL
nois, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri,
Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia,
North Carolina and Virginia - and
three for New York'S Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey Indiana, Nebraska
and Maryland.
