performances last night at the
Salem offices for Pacific Tele
phone and Telegraph Co.
A tkrhnor coil Is used to convey
the electric charge indirectly into
the human body and only a
slightly disagreeable tickle is ex
perienced. Welch and Peterson demonstra
ted the use of telephones, tele
phonic equipment, beginning with
a replica of Alexander Graham
Bell's first telephone, invented
June 2. 1875.
A throat microphone, which
will enable persons to talk with
out the use of vocal cords, was
demonstrated, and a telephone
conversation was conducted
through an electrical circuit
which was completed by a row
of the audience.
Statistics cited show that Sa
lem's 4325 daily long distance
telephone calls are up 190 per
cent from calls during 1941 and
that local calls have increased
51 per cent over 1941s 51,188
local calls. More orders for tie
phone . installation are held by
the Salem telephone company and
an approximate 100 per 'cent in
crease in personnel has been
made here -since 1941, Harry V.
Collins, district manager for the
company, said.
1 The special performances last
night and Wednesday were pri
marily for local telephone work
ers and their families.

Committee to
Show Movie on
River Pollution
Salem's civic committee on sew
age disposal last night laid plans
for the public showing of motion
pictures depicting Willamette riv
er pollution, at a civic meeting
tentatively scheduled for January
24. The committee, representing
various organizations of the city,
has been conducting meetings to
better acquaint Salem with the
need for improved sewage dispos
al methods, as proposed in a city
sewage treatment plant.
At last night's committee meet
ing in the chamber of commerce
hall, approximately 25 committee
men heard Fred Merryfield. Cor
vallis consulting engineer, discuss
sewage problems. The speaker
emphasized the dangers of general
stream pollution as well as health
dangers in the Immediate city
areas along rivers.
Merryfield also discussed the
possibility of incorporating into a
sewage disposal system the means
of disposing of cannery wastes.
He said this would require fur
ther experiment before any con
crete plans might be proposed,
but that he felt the problems of
cannery and general sewage
wastes might eventually be solved
together.
