Takes but One Arm to Hold a Hoop
TEN TELEPHONE COMMANDMENTS
It is a good many years since the operator at the telephone
exchange was introduced to us as "the voice with a smile
The friendliness and interest of the girl who answered your
call was an asset to the telephone company. You might never
see her but she was nonetheless the company s representative
She promoted or maintained the company's friendly relations
with you.
Commercial organizations of the more intelligent sort
recognize the importance of the telephone conversation. J'er-
sonnel is trained to make the most of it. to convey the best
posible impression. And now, it develops, the same idea has
been taken up by at least one municipal administration, that
of Schenectady, N. i., where public employes are taught
the ten commandments of telephone use. As given in bchenec-
' iady, these are:
1. Answer the telephone promptly, just as you .would your
front door.
2. Answer courteously, designating the department and
name of speaker.
3. Have pencil and paper available for note taking.
4. Personalize your conversation; don't say "Madam," say
"Mrs. Brown."
5. Don't use slang.
6. Do not interrupt or argue; be a good listener we all
are public servants.
7. If there are delays or Interruptions in your conversa
tion, explain why and excuse yourself; a "dead" telephone Is
like a clammy handshake.
8. If the person wanted Is not available, offer to take a
message.
0. The telephone is a sensitive instrument it picks up
everything, good and bad; if you must talk to others turn
the telephone away from your voice.
10. Do not rush to hang up first; you wouldn't slam the
door In the face of a visitor.
These are excellent rules for anyone to follow. Adhered
to they are bound to get results, whether in a municipal office
or that of an ordinary business.
News that a full time juvenile officer is again to be em-
nloved in Deschutes county will be greeted with general ap
proval. Whether the county should be given assistance by the
City or tsena in meeting me expense, us is repui icu, is upeu tu
question. The city pays its share of county taxes and any co
operative venture ot the kind means doubling, or more man
doubling of the cost for local property holders.
But the idea of the full time officer is excellent. Its
worthiness was proved in the period thna full time trained
man was employed by the county. Deschutes county's de
linquency record is by no means oho to hold up as a horrible
example, but it can be Improved. A special officer of the kind
sought will help to improve it.
Rumors that the Japs are ready to quit, under certain
conditions have revived the theory that they may "crack"
when the pressure becomes heavier. Well, we don't think so.
We can't believe that the Japs are any smarter than the
Germans, who had to be beaten and see their country com
pletely overrun by the enemy before they would give up.)
Somehow we feel that the little men of the Pacific will go
at least as far before they, too, swallow the bitter pill of
unconditional surrender. . v
