DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1926.

Elderly Lady In Little English Town Hailed As Perfect ’Phone Operator Harlestoa, Eudland.— (United Press) —Here in this little Norfolk town, lhe chief ilaim to fame of which is | that it is only three miles from the , Pulham airship station, has been found the ideal telephone operator. She lb Mary Anne Petty, aged slxtyiivc. She has had the job for twelve years and not for one minute during ail that service has she been beyond the hearing of the bell of her exchange. Mrs. Petty, who lives to the postoffice, had a room to rent ou the ground floor about the lime that the telephone people wanted to put an exchange in Harleston. They pursuaded her to bouse the exchange and operatn ft herself. Mr. Petty had passed away and the little work was just what she needed. Also, she suffered from tfsthma, which rendered her incapable of sleeping while lying down, so she slept in a chair. At night she moved the chair into the telephone room and gave twenty-four service in a most efficient manner. Mrs. Petty was content witp her interests over the phone and had no wish to move about town. Next door is a general store. She can stand at the door of the store and order her provisions without being out of hearing of her telephone bell. In recent years the Harleston exchange has become very important with the growth of the Pulman aerodrome. Many great navigators of the air have appreciated Mrs. Petty’s service, but to newspaper men who at times flock into her territory she is a darling because her service functions at all hours of the day and night. With the growth of the service and the importance of the exchange at. Harleston Mrs. Petty hired an assistant. Hut it is during the small hours of the night, when the assistant and most of the rest of the town sleeps, that Mrs. Petty always on the job, gives service that lets the world know the movement of great airships.

More Than 3 Years To (’over All American Roads Washington D. C.. July 22. — (United ed Press) Motorists in the. United States have more than 400.000 mile > of roads, suitable for automobiles, on which to tour this summer, according to the National Geographic Society. When the “lior-e-less carriages” first appeared 30 years ago the problem was to find roads qu which they could run. Now the problem of tourists is which road to take, there as so many of them. A tourist, diiving 12 hours a day at an average speed of 30 miles an hour, could cover all the tourable highways of the United States and nearby Canada by extending his journey three yeans and 16 days. America is now riding up the crest of its third renaissance of road building. according to tire society. Moundbuilders, the mysterious vanished tiibe in the Mississippi Valley, had the first roads built in North America. The second high point in highway history came when the nation expended westward and trucking roads were constructed. The automobUe brough* forth the third, and most notable era of turnpike construction every seen in any nation of the world o ...
