To Retire After 56 I Years At Phone Co. By HORTENSE MYERS United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — When Mary Gould Inman went to work 56 years ago for the Rochester Telephone Co., the chief operator mentioned she had been employed by the utility for 13 years. “I said then that I'd never be here that long,” Mrs. Inman laughed. "Belle Bernetaha, the chief operator, went on to stay for 44 years, and how I am retiring after 56 years.” The 56th anniversary date comes Aug. 17 and formal retirement, Aug. 31. Then Mrs. Inman will begin a new career as a housewife. She was married about four months ago to John Inman, a Rochester barber. “I suppose I will get one of those Kennedy rocking chairs and take it easy,” Mrs. Inman predict ed of her coming retirement, but in the next breath said " couldn't stand taking it easy for long. It would get tiresome.” 4 to 25 Operators Mrs. Inman is a native of Rochester and has watched it and the telephone industry grow during the more than half a century she has had her finger on the city's communications pulse. The day she went to work the utility had only four operators who used a magneto-type board in an upstairs room over a drug store. Today, there are some 25 operators and the company occupies a sizable building. During the years, she has served in several capacities with the company but the job of personal bill-collecting is one she hasn't had for some time. Part of her job in the early years was to go to the homes of telephone customers and collect door-to-door because that was the casual way things were done. Rode Bike on Rounds “I pedaled a bicycle on my collection rounds,” she recalled. Her beginning salary was $2.50 a week. ‘"There arc times when I think $2.50 went further then than my present pay,” Mrs. Inman commented. “There wasn't very much to pay out then.” Mrs. Inman and her new husband are longtime friends so she does not Anticipate too many adjustments in her new career as a homemaker. "I've had a house of my own for a long time and do my own cooking" she explained. “I won’t say I am a very good cook, but at least I won't need to take lessons.” Terms Tipping An Outrageous Practice By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor NEW YORK (UPD—Tipping is an outrageous practice, getting .more so in this country, and completely demoralizing the basic structure on which our nation grew and prospered. Now it seems, the motto is, ask not what the country can do for you, but how much it will tip you for doing something for it. I wonder, did the pioneers tip when one family enjoying a good harvest shared largesse with another not quite so fortunate? Did one tip another for portage? Did repair of the canvas on the covered wagon mean a tip always for the repair man? Did the blacksmith get a tip as well as pay for shoeing a horse? Did the housewife tip at the drop of a calico bonnet? Origin of the tip I haven't investigated, except Webtiter defines it as a fee or present to the servants. Then there is a plenitude of servitude in this land, spread far beyond a tolerable state. It is evil clinging like the wistaria tree (sorry to compare the ugly with the beautiful), and the something for nothing attitude it now so often represents can be as dangerous as communism. Most of us tip the hairdresser, the manicurist, the maid who tends the beauty shop dressing room; the bartender; the bell boy in the hotel; the restaurant waiter, plus a sizable addition for the headwaiter who still places us right there near the service counter anyway; the doorman every time he whistles for a taxi; the grocery delivery boy when the store is seeking your patronage in this highly competitive business world and still brazenly charges an extra 25 cents for delivery—this not including the delivery boy's take; the liquor store deliveryman; the taxi driver, who in New York and most other cities does not even open the cab door for you for this extra percentage; tip the. ... Well, I can go on, and on. Those who defend tipping say that tips are part of the salary of those being tipped. Unadulterated nonsense. In these times when more people have more money than ever before, why isn’t the employer paying that tip in salary comensurate? Why is it the public be damned always with a handout of coin or bill! Tipping should be outlawed; there should be pride, not simpering servitude in work. This country will survive on the doers, with the hands and mind busy producing and thinking, not on the takers with the hands always out.
