(Feature article in the London
Free Press by their
Clinton reporter.)
Mrs. Mary L. Jordon, a
Bell Telephone operator here
for the past 30 years, mourns
most the passing of the person-
al touch from her profession.
Automation with its extrem-
ely efficient equipment has
robbed most operators of the
closeness they used' to feel to
subscribers, she thinks.
Recalls Early Days
Although Mrs. Jordon is the
first to admit the new system
is faster and more efficient
she does look back a little
sadly to 1917, her first year
as an operator, when there
were only 175 subscribers in
Clinton and she knew every-
one.
But Mrs. Jordon, who enjoys
her work so much she trained
her daughter to follow in her
footsteps, has not unplugged
her last plug yet. She expects
to spend ten more years on
the board before retirement to
chalk up a resounding total
of 40 Years service.
Recently the local Bell staff
thought 30 years 'was an im-
pressive total so they gave a
party for Mrs. Jordon and pre-
sented her with an engraved
silver tray as a memento.
Exciting Moments
Recalling exciting moments
at the board, Mrs. Jordon
vividly remembers the d ay
Armistice was declared in 1918,
when a long distance call came
through to tell the mayor of
Clinton the good news.
"Those were busy days." she
said, "Shortly after the war
the flu epidemic hit and we
were driven crazy trying to
keep track of doctors and nur-
ses who were run off their
feet."
When Mrs. Jordon started
operating here there was a
small three-position switch-
board with eight operators on
call. Today there 'are 23 op..
erators who man 12 long dist-
ance switchboards in the mod-
ern telephone exchange build-
ing built in 1956.
Mrs. Jordon, who is known
to scores of Clinton residents
as a warm helpful voice on' the
other end of their telephone,
was married in 1928 to Morley
Jordon of Belgrave. After her
marriage she worked as a re-.
lief operator and helped her
husband run a grocery store
in Clinton. When her husband
died in 1945, Mrs. Jordon went
back to full time work. She
works now as night operator.
Her only daughter Joan was
an operator too, until her mar-
riage to Donald O'Donnell of
'the RCAF, led to a new home
in Germany.

D. L. Stephenson
Service was conducted from
the Beattie funeral home, 55
Rattenbury Street East, Clin-
ton, on Monday afternoon, No-
vember 14, for David Laurence
Stephenson, Varna, who died in
Clinton Public Hospital on Sat-
urday, November 12, in his
70th year. Rev. T. J. Pitt of-
ficiated and interment was in

vin Hanly, Alvin Keys, Alex

,Mr.. Stephenson was born"in
Stanley Township on June 3,
1891, only son of the late Arthur
Stephenson and Jane Rathwell.
He was married on November
22, 1916, to Ethel Bradshaw.
Most of his life was spent in
farming, although he kept a
general store in Bayfield for a
short time. He lived at Hyde
Park for seven years, and had

BACKACHE
May be Warning
Backache is often caused by lazy
kidney action. When kidneys get out of
order, excess acids and wastes remain
in the system. Then backache, dis-
turbed rest or that tired-out and heavy-
headed feeling may soon follow. That's
the time to take Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Dodd's stimulate the kidneys to normal
action. Then you feel better-sleep
better-work better. Get Dodd's
Kidney Pills now. 59
