Although the ladies of Can

is a wire-like barriei’ whiicli

Maybe those cunning caps the
ladies wore in Gifandma’s day
were not so foolish after all.
They were certainly attractive

They tell me* that if a beard

after a. period of growth of

When a lady appear® in public

box —« usually black plastic 7-- tucked up on a basement
beam in your home.> It is placed quote close to the point
where our telephone wire comes into your home. We call '
this small box an inside station protector and we use it as a
safety device where, the inside wire and the outside wire '
are joined. It protects both our equipment and the tele
phone user from stray, electrical currents over 300 volts
and from lightning surges* The protector serves much the
same purpose ias the more familiar electrical fuse except
that instead of opening a line, as a fuse does, the protector ■
grounds it. If .this should happen — and it'very seldom-
does — your-phone immediately is put out of order. So
seldom do we have to change or repair these station pro
tectors, in fact, sthat discovered recently that many homes
still have those installed with their first telephone many
years ago, These are from the pre-plastic era and are of
white porcelain. Many, too, were placed in the days when
cellars were cellars and not beautiful recreation rooms,
family rooms or finished workshops; when panelling or
attractive tile did not conceal bare ceiling' beams. Many
.people today are converting basement space into wonder
fully liveable rooms. If this should be in yoiir’ home im
provement plans woihd you please locate,this protector?'
Under no circumstances should any Of the wires leading
from the protector be disconnected. They are vital to your
service. Then if you are installing a ceiling, perhaps'you )
could leave the small area unboxed or place, a removable
panel, to give easy access to the black box. It would also
be to your advantage to provide access to the ground wire
connection which usually runs from the protector to a near
by water pipe. Chances are our. Installers vor Repairmen
will seldom have to gain access to these connections. How-
'.ever* if that need should arise, it would take longer to re- .
‘store your service and perhaps mar a beautiful ceiling if
the (Protector or ground connections have been hidden by
the panelling or ceiling'.tiles.

I wonder how many of you remember back to the days
when the telephone was-still looked upon either as a toy or
the invention of the dievil? From our historical file comes
this' tale from51911 — only 56 years, ago." '"Recently on
