Most of the calls unfortunately turn outto-be concerning some rather petty matters or matters- that are of too 'personahaiiature for the news staff of the paper to•go nosing into. There, are exceptions however and this week brought such 'a case_ The misuse of party telephone les. . True enough this is hardly a new complaint but it is one that deserves -`�metii�ion.-7lilis se d pf�`"ar�y`�"ines is an all too com'rnon, and could be an all too -d'angerous,' practice. .The lady who phoned.us this_ week was not complaining about the old gossip next door holding up the line too long, although :wesuppose this is something that .deserves mention as well;' but rather about the careless way some people hang up their telephones when a call is completed. That is to say that unless "each and roes every time the'pho re is 'replaced' oqn the hooka special check is made to see ithas been replaced properly a large number Of people could be left without telephone communication. What happens is simply that the 'line • remains open if the receiver is not placed squarely enough in the cradIe- to cutoff the circuit. The result is no one can use the line until the error is corrected, anyone attempting tb phone in or out of that particular party line will find it cut off: It is obvious what a hazard this could be in case of accident for example not to mention the frustrating inconvenience. In the case we heard about last week communications' were cut, out Tor more than four hours. What inight'° have happened in case -of fire? Kone su geStlotr u wa.§_p_kit for g rd, .. bearing considerable .,crit. Since people seem to be naturally careless, could the telephone company not arrange a hook up th,at would at least allow a party to reach tl a operator in tlr case- of such mishaps thus by- passing a very dangerous situation in cases of sickness or accident. In the meantime be careful, , somebody on that line might deed help badly and if ycur,phone is off the hook you might make a bad situation worse.
