“ My little girl was ah »lit the same age my granddaughtei is now.
“ I'd had some cleaning fluids under the sink and Sally must
have gotten into them while I was upstair s.
“ When I found her, she was sitting on the kitchen floor, holding
one of those bottles. And acting mighty sick I called the d<x tor over in
Corvallis, but just kept on getting a busy signal.
"So I did the only thing I could think of I called the operator.
She jus, took over and cut in on the line and asked if the doctor was in,
and he was. She put him on. And jus, that quick he told me what to do.
“ These days, of course, the doctors all have something called
‘Call Waiting,’ so they know if you're trying to get through Why thev can
even cheek your vital signs, right over the phone.
“ Hu, whatever miracles the phone company comes up with
next, I'll always he grateful for that operator''
