Phones Don't Work
For Lack Of Tubes I
The surprise of having tele
phones Sunday morning on aris-
iiy» proved to be a “dud” as far
as this area was concerned. The
new dial system had mechanical
trouble in (hat the trunk line
did not work. Some of the radio
like tubes were bad, and the
mechanism had to be sent to San
Francisco for repairs.
Operators were called back to
duty Monday for the old man
ually-operated phones. However,
today is expected to be the red
letter day, according to Mr. Mc-
Bridge, district manager who was
in the area Monday.
“These wore sent to us, said
to be ready for installation. It
was not for quite a time that
the difficulty was discovered, as
workmen worked practically all
night to make the cut-over.’’ he
told the Pilot.
“After this mechanism has been
repaired, I do not think this dis
trict will have any more trouble.
You will like your dial phones
much better than the old type,
after you become accustomed to
using them. Really service will
be much improved

When asked about telegrams
Mr. McBride said: “They will be
telephoned to the subscriber im
mediately upon receipt. To those
who have no phones, they will
be put in the mail. Telegrams
are just as easily sent by dialing
‘O’ for operator, and giving the
message.
“If the subscribers think they
ha\e had all the headaches, 1
would like to point out «
the company has had in obtain
ing this equipment under the cir
cumstances we have, and of be
ing able to get all of it installed,’’
^he concluded.

Patsy Cook Needs
Votes From County
Patsy Cook, who, last De
cember, won one round of
radio fame by taking first
place on Station KIEM’s
“Stars of 1960”, is at again.
Last Saturday she sang “A
Little Bit of Heaven” over
a new series which runs for
thirteen weeks.
As before, her second ap
pearance is decided by the
number of votes she receives
from listeners. A penny post
card addressed to Station
means a hundred votes.
Patsy may sing once more
in the semi-finals, if her vote
is sufficient. The contest is
to end in July.
