The Huron Expositor, 1976-07-22, Page 7any other colour?"
I explained that I couldn't get yellow, and
red seemed too loud; beige and white were too
ordinary, and black was too basic. Green
looked just right. '
I've come to the conclusion the critics are
jealous. Their phones are the plain old black
and white models, and they're probably
kicking themselves I because they didn't have
the imagination to choose a green one.
I see nothing odd about 'having a green
telephone in my kitten. After all, those of
you with color T.V. know that Dr. Welby has a
yellow phone in',his -kitchen. And I've heard
that President Ford has a red telephone in the
blue room of the white house. Or is it a blue
phone in the red. room of the white house?
If Dr. Welby and President Ford can have
yellow and red phones, why can't I have a
green one?
It makes an excellent conversation piece,
When someone comes in, I nod toward the
corner and quiz, "See my green phone? How
do you like it?"
Yesterday I finally found someone with a
taste for dtor.
One of my nephews walked into the kitchen
and, with no promifing from me, announced:
"1 rea'ly like your phone, Elaine, The colOr
really ooks nice in here."
Thank you, Dave. You must have inherited
your good taste from your aunt.

My green phone
Every home should have a conversation
piece. In my apartment, it's a green
telephone.
Before the phone was installed, several
people asked me what colour I had ordered.
"Green," I answered excitedly.
My girl friend just mumbled, "Green, Oh."
She looked a little strange, but I didn't think
anything of it at the time.
My sister was a little more to the point.
"Green!" she spluttered. "What do you want
green for?"
My twelve-year-old niece, with the direct-
ness of a child, blurted out, "Ugh!"
What's wrong with a green telephone? In
my yellow kitchen with its orange ,and green
trim, think the phone contrasts rather
attractively.
Its shade almost matches the garbage can
and the handle of the tea kettle. My landlady
lent me a lamp, which is also green. It clashes
with the phone, but if I set it in one corner and
the phone, in another, no one will ever notice.
Sitting near the window, the green telephone
brings ent the colour of the tiny leaves in the
curtains.
Even after the phone was installed though,
the critics wouldn't change their tune.
My girl friend glanced at the phone and
then 'turned her back to it.My sister muttered,
"To each his own."
But my niece again -voiced her thoughts.
After touring, the rooms, she concluded,
"Well, Elaine, I like your new apartment,
except for that green phone. Couldn't yon get
