Concerning Miss Steiners ca

achieved something no other wo-
man will be able to match at the

She began her service at the age
Of Is, working as relief opera
tor in Lancaster, going on to full

girl married, January 28, 1903"
Miss Steiner remembers many
things OF particular interest in
these days Of dial phones. For in
stance she stated that i'm the early
days of her career, in 1907 to be
exact, subscribers were called by
name and she knew 1900 numbers
1t was hard to convince people they
had to call by number instead of
name, and we kept a list OF sub
scribers we called to wake up in
the morning, she continued.
Continuing with her reminisc-
ing Miss Steiner recalled that
another job was to take the wea-
thcr report in the morning from
the Columbus office to give out to
farmers who called in, and she
said, "it had to be accurate, veri-
fled by post card sent back to
Columbus every day and one more
thing, we had to know where the
fire wass when people called in
to find out where the equipment
was going"
The Murtaughs will see their
aunt again before she leaves on
January 20 for Florida to visit
near Tampa for q time, going on
to visit a friend in TeXarkana

complishments in its educational
program and for the phenomenal
growth of this project, the Ma
tional Society, Daughters or the
