Deputy Undersecretary of

Telephones
The telephone was invented in
1875 by Alexander Graham Bell,
and was put into use in 1876. 1t is
now one of our most important
means of communication. You can
talk to anyone anywhere in the
world by telephone. One of the
newest telephones is called the
Princess.
Some of the police cars have
telephones in them. Many boats
have ship-to-shore telephones. Out
at sea people can communicate
with persons on shore.

RECORDS
There are two kinds of records.
One kind we can play on a phono-
graph. The other records are writ

cords are forms of communication.

Communication
Letters, telephones, or radios are
mostly used for learning news and
other things. In big cities letters
come to peoples homes by a mail
car or a mail truck. In little towns
mailmen bring the mail. kilograms
and Air Mail are much like letters.
kilograms are letters that must
go to some one fast Air Mail costs
more money than regular mail be-
cause Air Mail goes a greater dis
tance in shorter length of time.

There are different ways of

their way of reading.

.. Signals
Signals are a way of passing in
formation from one place to an
other. The meaning of the signals
must be learned in advance, and
must be known by the sender and
the receiver. Smoke signals were
used by the Indians. Drum signals
were used by savages in Africa.
Blinker lights can flash messages
night and day. Whistles and horns
prevent collisions during foggy
weather.
Flares and rockets are shot from
ships when in distress. Flags and
pennants have long been used to
send messages. Hand signals are
used in many sports.

Newspapers
Newspapers tell the news. In the
news you learn about a lot of
things such as sports. movies, fash
ions, food, comics, and crossword
puzzles. The most important news
Is on the very first page. There are
different kinds of newspapers sold
Milford chronicle., 1960-04-08

in Milford. They are the Bulletin,
Inquirer, Chronicle, Wilmington
Morning News and Journal Every
Evening.
Most families have the paper de-
livered on their doorsteps. The
paper is usually divided, father will
take the financial and editorial
sections, Mother likes the women's
page, the sons like to read the
sports page, and daughters read
the movie news and work the cross
word puzzles. The little children
like to read the ''funnies".
On Thursday, April z, our class
will visit 'The Milford Chronicle"
newspaper and see all our news
stories being printed. We can
hardly wait until then.

Air Mail
Lieutenant Russell Maughan's s
greatest ambition was to beat the
sun westward across the United
States. AS a result of his great am
bition Air Mail was first put into
use in June 1924.
Air Mail is used when we want to
send mail to far away place in a
hurry. An Air Mail envelope is diff
ferent from other envelopes be-
cause it has red and blue stripes
around the edge, and Via Air
Mail" is printed on the envelope.
An Air Mail stamp costs seven
cents.
We have received an Air Mail
letter from Florida. It was sent to
us from Donna Chaney's grandpar-
ents.

to the pOstOffice. There the mail is
sorted. Then the letters are put
through cancelling machine that
prints on the letters the date, time,
city, and state. This machine also
marks the stamps so no one can
use them again.
Next the postman gets his own

Out of town mail must be taken

Magazines
The word magazine is used for a
periodical which is issued weekly,
monthly, or at longer intervals,
chiefly for entertainment. The mag
azines are one way of communicate
ing the news of the world to their
readers.

Conversation
When two or more people talk
with each other it is called CONVEX
sation. We tell our parents what we
do in school and at play. We talk
with our friends and neighbors.
When we talk we learn new words.
We should be quiet and listen
when someone is talking. We can
learn a lot if we will only listen.
We should talk with a friendly
voice, know what we are talking
about, and say what is true. People
who can't read must learn from
listening and looking.

Books
There are many kinds of books.
There are books for information,
and for enjoyment. Many years ago
they did not have printing presses.
Books had to be printed by hand.
1t took many days to print one
book. This made books very expen-
siVe.
Our books today have many pref
ty pictures, which help to tell the
story and make it more enjoyable.

Motion Pictures
Many stories are written for mo-
ton pictures. The story is then
acted out by persons, and the act
ing is recorded on film by NOV
lie producer. Then this story can be
shown to the children by using a
movie protector.
We have seen and enjoyed many
movies in our class this year.

TelegramS
The telegram is way to send
messages across the country. It
reaches it's destination in few
hours. 1t is good thing to use
when time is limited.
On the sending end the tele-
graph office uses machine that
sends out dots and dashes. On the
receiving end it comes out on a
tape with typewriter words. This
tape is then pasted on a telegram
blank.

Radio can send messages across
