Phone frustration and fun
usually understanding about
that.
Two personal telephone ex-
periences stand Out in my mind.
The first happened a few years
ago, when the lady I was talking
to went to answer her doorbell.
Soon I heard excited voices. They
became loud; then they faded
into the distance. She apparently
had surprise visitors.
Five minutes passed: ten
minutes passed and still I waited.
How insignificant I felt realizing
she had forgotten me. Every time
the voices sounded close to the
phone. I shouted and whistled
into the mouthpiece, but no one
heard me. Finally. in frustration,
I liur:
Two hours later my phone
rang, and the embarrassed lady
apologized for keeping me
waiting so long. Someone just
noticed the receiver lying on the
tahle.
Similar frustration occurred
the day 1 called the business
office of a large chain of
department stores. I told the
switchboard operator my reason

Comedian Bob Newhart turns
simple telephone conversations
into hilarious monologues.
Sometimes we discover his ideas
aren't as exaggerated as we
thought. We find ourselves in a
wide range of telephone
situations; some bring chuckles,
others cause embarrassment and
a few result in frustration.
For example, have you ever
said "thank you" to a reco"ding?
let he said that we're
polite.
rang num her
embenTassb, ^I-lough, but oc-
casionally we make it worse.
When we ask to speak to George,
we're told no George lives at that
number. We wonder how we
could have made a mistake. We
might even ask, "Are you sure?"
When men first infiltrated the
ranks of female telephone
operators, the public was stun-
ned. Each time a masculine voice
asked for our number, we stut-
tered, chuckled or cracked a
tired joke.
Party lines create unique
situations. How irritating to hear
an eavesdropper breathing on the
line, when you're in the midst of a
private conversation. On the
other hand, have you ever
eavesdropped and regretted it
later? Many surprise, parties are
spoiled that way.
A phone bill can be educational.
It teaches you that you're longer
winded than you realized. A
geography lesson occurs when a
bill contends you placed a long
distance call to a town you didn't
know existed. The company is

Everyone welcome
for calling, and she connected me
with the third floor. Then I
repeated my inquiry to Mr.
Brown's secretary, who informed
me I had the wrong department.
She switched me to Mrs. Green's
office.
I repeated my story, which by
now sounded stale to me. Mrs.
Green was out to lunch, but her
assistant suggested I speak to
Mr. Jones. After Mr. Jones'
secretary heard my tale, she
assured me her boss would be
happy to talk to me, as soon as he
finished a conversation on
another phone. She put me on
hold.
After a seemingly interminable
wait, I heard a rattle on the other
end of the line. Before I could say
a word, a loud click brought the
dial tone ringing in my ear. All
that explaining and waiting was
for nothing. No way was I going
through it again!
Bob Newhart could turn this
and other telephone anecdotes
into a rib tickling soliloquy. But
to me, it was just plain
frustrating.
Check needed for
freezer temperature
For a home freezer to keep any
frozen 'food at its optimum, the
temperature in the freezer should
be at least — 18 degrees C or 0
degrees F. Tests have shown that
even a temperature increase of 5
degree C will adversely affect the
quality of food.
A freezer thermometer costs
only a couple of dollars, yet it will
very accurately give you a
constant check on the inside
temperature of the freezer. If
your freezer proves to be
4maintaining a temperature far
above the -18 degrees C, have it
checked. If it is still on warranty
there should be no extra cost to
you.
Before calling for a repair
service, there are a few reasons
for a rise in temperature that you
should check for yourself. If your
freezer is too full, the freezing
mechanism of your unit may not
be capable of maintaining a
temperature low enough;
ideally,keep your freezer ap-
proximately 34 full.

Mrs. E. Harvey entitled "Greater
Love." She referred to two lights
at the entrance to Boston
Harbour which a pilot must keep
between to enter the harbour
safely. The two lights for us are
"Love of God" and "Love of
Others," By keeping both in sight
we will get safely into the
harbourof life.
Mrs. D. Bullock favoured with
two vocal solos accompanied by
Mrs. A, Willard.

Choir elects new
slate of officers
President Pat Skinner chaired
a short meeting after practice of
the senior choir of Exeter United
Church.
The new slate of officers for
1976 were elected as follows:
President, Don Ecker; vice
president, Carf Cann; secretary,
Marian Knowles; treasurer,
Maxine Sereda ; Social com-
mittee, Beatrice Geiger, Bev
Read, Audrey McGregor, Don
McCaffrey.
Pat Skinner was applauded for

and the meeting was adjourned.
"live" and "love." if we take the
"i", which is me out of live, and
substitute "o" which is others, we
have love. This is really the
meaning of missions.
She spoke of missions in the
Northwest Territories of Canada,
referring particularly to the work
of Margaret Strang Savage. She
spoke of the troubles of Indians,
Eskimos and Metis, since the
white people have entered their
lands, One of the main ones being
the escalating social problems
due to alcohol. She stressed that
we need to do things with the
Indian and not for him.
We can help by making our-
selves more aware of the North
by reading, and by increasing our
Missionary givings so funds will
be available to help. The whole
area of the North is in need of the
service of the church.
