War Importance of Telephone Emphasized at Operators Meeting

"Our commodity is talk and our operator is the saleslady," stated William M. Bailey Tuesday morning at the Central Indiana Independent Telephone Owners' association convention held Tuesday at the Commercial club rooms. Over a hundred members and employes from all over the state of Indiana, western Ohio and Chicago, attended. Mr. Bailey continued that the real purpose of. the convention waa to get before the telephone workers of this state the main questions to be considered in giving the best service and In

helping to win the war. "It does not

make any .difference whether our

switchboard is gold or sawdust, we

and the people we serve are Interested

in talk, for that is what we sell."

Miss Katherine Kirby, traveling

chief operator of the Ohio State Telephone company, conducted the operators' school which began at 10:30 lasting two hours in the morning and continuing after lunch for a three hour session in the afternoon. Attendance at this examination is not compulsory but Miss Kirby pointed out that the operators seem to take an interest in making very good averages Just for the sake of the work. The examination -will include questions about long distance and local telephone work. Most of the questions are purely technical. While the examinations were being held in the morning a business meeting and general discussion was in session. Following was the program: Welcome address A. C. Lindemuth acting judge of Wayne county circuit court. Response C. M. Martz, president of the Aradia Telephone company, Tipton, Ind. Accounting Bookkeeping and governmental reports L. C. Griffith, president Seymour Mu. Telephone

company, Seymour, Ind. How to secure additional revenue for maintenance and operation Sam Tomilson, president of Winona Telephone company, Plymouth. Ind.

Lontz's place Lontz having been detained in New York. The judge emphasized especially the relations of the telephone to ,

present war conditions. "As a constructive enterprise," he said, "It is indespensible, being the first thing installed for assistance on building sites. It is essential to both architect and contractor. It is a pub

lic utility and even outweighs the Importance of airplanes In rush matters. The telephone Is - supremely a conservation agent. -Imagine sending on horseback, by train or automobile the 30,000 or more messages that pass out of Richmond dally." He also spoke of the wonderful connections the telephones are making between the front, line trenches and the rear lines in the present war.
