Wingham, Onf.
brings the record up to January, 1989.
On the average, each person in Can
ada in 1988 placed 285 telephone calls
as comparied with 236 the previous
year, These figures compare with 223
for the United States.' Next in order
come Denmark with 185, Sweden with
181 and Norway with 96 yearly con
versations per capita,
Canada ranks fourth in, the matter
of telephone development with 12.13
telephones per hundred of population.
First is the United States with 15.37
followed by Sweden with 12.78, IJexy
Zealand 12.69 and Denmark in fifth
place with 11.61, Apparently the dic
tator countries do their talking by
means other than the telephone for
Germany with 5.20, Italy with 1.41 and
Russja with 0,75 telephones per 100
population rank far down the list •
Among the larger Canadian cities,
Toronto and Vancouver lead in the
matter of telephone development. Both
record 26.34 telephones per 100 popu
lation. Washington, D.C.,
40.14 while next in line
Francisco with 38.53 and
with 88,28.
Of interest is' the fact
America’s 21,617,000 instruments is
more than half the world’s 41,090,000

By Harry J. Boyle
“BABY’S BATH”
Take >a seventeen-pound baby, a
cake of soap, a pan of warm water and
an ordinary helpless man . . . and the
result is chaos. I know, because it
happened to me! ’
Yesterday morning Mrs.' Phil had
the flu, and after struggling through
the early morning work had to admit
defeat and retire to bed. She was
sorely bemoaning the fact that Pat
ricia Ann would miss her bath, and
so I volunteered. At first she was
quite skeptical of my ability as a baby
bather but at last agreed to let me try
it, on the agreement that the bedroom
door would-'stay open so that she
could direct operations and offer
advice as the operation progressed.
• Baby whs happy! ‘In fact ;I even
imagind that she cooed a little louder
as she watched me in that clumsy way
of a man lay out the things for her
bath. She tilted the tiuy head, to one
side to get a better look at me as I
adjusted the temperature of the water
in the pan by cautiously adding a lit
tle from the tea kettle , . . and I’ll al
ways believe there was a twinkle in
those baby blue eyes as I ’approached
to pick her up.
Of course she squealed a little and
squirmed -as I got her ready for the
dipping, but idrs. Phil assured me it
Was notliing out of the ordinary. Two
clfcibbyd^nds gripped my shirt sleeve
and two pirik and white feet kicked
together until she became used to the
water. Then came a squeal of delight
as the hands reached out to grab the
edge^of the pan . . and there she was
. , aud there W$s I helplessly wonder
ing what to do next.
I imagined that lather was needed,
so I tubbed quite briskly at the cake
of so^p/'discovdrihg .wh,6n f ‘stopped,
that there were billows .of suds' thaf
seeded!’ to swell up over the end of
tW'pam I caiitiqusly ventared one
fiaftd down and started dripping the
water over her like you would baste

and when order was finally re’stored
Patricia Anti was,grasping the bath
pan and looking quite sober about the
whole affair.
Mrs. Phil by this time was threat
ening to come out herself. However,
the bathing progressed. Everything
was quiet and I Started my basting
again . , leaning over just a little too
close. My, but a small hand can send
a cascade of water and suds up when
it descends quickly to slab the water.
The fountain caught me squarely be
tween the eyes . '» , washing up into
them in a stinging, blinding way and
then dropping back to wash my glass
es off,
For a moi’nent my grip relaxed and

said, to reappear with a clean pair of
overalls on. Mrs. Phif- was- 1'doking
better . ; improved by the tonic of
my comic performance no doubt . i .
