Glendale-Azdea Switchboard
Installation Now Complete
By MRS. G. B. FOX
Installation work was completed
Ust week on an automatic tele
phone switch board which links
Azalea directly to the Glemlale ex
change. The automatic swithboard
makes the presence of an Azalea
operator no longer necessary
larly long, Jones said that while
it would probably be possible to
get lines built and some of the
phones installed in readiness for
service, the whole modernization
program in Glendalo awaits the
arrival of the new and larger
automatic switch board which was
ordered many months ago. The
The entire Azalea system has! company cannot expect receipt of
been modernized with replacement
of defective lines, and installation
of modern dial-type phones. Ac
cording to Bob Jones, of the Glen
dale Telephone Co. about 15 new
subscribers are still to be hooked
into the system but it is hoped
that may be completed within
the next two weeks. Objectionable
noise on the lines has been largely
eliminated and this condition will
further be improved in the near
future when equipment ordered
for the purpose arrives and is put
into service.
The quality of service for Azalea
patrons will further bo improved
wnen a larger automatic swucn
board can be put into service
there since the nowjy-instatlea
switch board is already too small
to handle adequately the traffic
between Azalea and uicnaaie.
Jones further stated that the
' next big job for the local tele
phone company is the modern
ization of service in Wolf Creek.
The firm is negotiating at present
with Western Union concerning
possibility of attaching the new
wire wftion is 10 replace me oiu
lines there to Western Union

Asked when work would begin
on the expanding of service in
Glendale, itself, where the wait

the equipment before late next
summer.
The new GlciidaJe telephone
building, built of concrete blocks
bv a local contracting firm, is not
yet completed inside. The finish

ready to move into the business
office section in two or three
months.

Selling Exams
NORMAN. Okla. W A Univer
sity of Oklahoma professor of
criminology did some extracurric
ular sleuthing and nabbed four
freshmen who were trying to ped
dle copies of his final examina
tion in advance at $30 a throw.
The four devised a novel plan
to lay their hands on the coming
examination. They painstaking
ly poked in trash cans looking for
discarded stencils which were
used to mimeograph the exam
inations. Finally, they came up with the
criminology final of Dr. Gilbert
Geis. 29, and two others. They
planned carefully, but should have
taken the hint.
"For three days the phone had
been ringing continually," said
Geis. "Students told me they had
been approached and that the cop
ies were selling for around $30
cash. Finally some one gave us a
line on who was selling them."
Geis said one of the graduate
students working for the depart
ment of sociology was used as the
"bait." He contacted the suspects
?nd offered to pay the $30. They
said the copy of (he examination
would be delivered.
When the courier arrivsd he
was met bv Geis, Chief 'of Po
lice A. C. Bcrnicr and the grad

Attempt Made
To Change Name
Of Douglas Fir
SALEM Ufi The U. S. Forest
Service has changed the name of
Douglas lir, but Oregin stale for
esters will ignore the change.
The alteration is mostly on the
scientific level. Douglas fir has
been called by botanists for 150
years or so, "pseudotsuga taxi
folia." That gives a brief descrip
tion of foliage and says it's a false
hemlock.
The new scientific name, but not
in Oregon where the Legislature
has spoken, is "menzicsii." in
recognition of the claim of Scottish
naturalist Archibald Menzies to
having discovered it. There are
those, though, who say David Doug
las, also a Scottish naturalist,
made the discovery.
Along with the scientific name
change, there's a move afoot to
put a hyphen in the common name
and make it Douglas-fir. The Doug
las fir without a hyphen industry
isopposed.
Homer G. Lyon Jr., the slate
forestry department's publicity
man, says it will take an act of
the Legislature to change the
botanical name in Oregon, where
a 1939 law made pseudotsuga taxi
folia the state tree.

He advised securing leases on
about 22,000 acres in the Look-ingglass-Melrose
area. The group
responded by voting lo sell the

the meeting. Attorney Paul Ged
des pointed out two alternatives:
(1) increase siock in uu uevciuH

on such a formation, but the group
voted to allow the Oil Developers
board of directors to negotiate
with any other group for develop
ment OI on. ine move was uu
viously pointed toward paving the
way for another corporation.
Distribution Proves Puzzle
One problem arising was the
kind of distribution to the two
corporation stockholders if both
had interests in proceeds from oil
development. Again no actin was
taken, but the consensus appeared
to be to divide profits on a per
centage basis determined by the
amount of stock sold in the sec
ond corporation. For example, if
$75,000 in stocks were sold in the
second corporation, distribution to
the second corporation would be
3-7 of all profits. In Oil Develop
ers stock the split of profits would
be 4-7, since $100,000 worth of stock
had been sold in it.
Childs reported that leasing is
already coins on in the I.ooking-
glass-Melrose area and landowners
have been very cooperative, since
they wish to see the area develop
ed. Childs gave a flat promise of a
guarantee of drilling in the event
enough money could not be raisod
on the local scene. He said if it
could not be raised within six
months, he would guarantee a
mid - continent company would
come in and make Hie hole to pro
tect investments already made. He
said, however, leaving of the 22,
000 acre block in the I.ookinqlass
area would be a neccsiary requi
site.
The next meeting of the group
is scheduled Feb. 11.
Benefit Success
