MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE, BEDFORD. OREGON, STODAT, SEPTEMBER 2, 193. PAGE FIVE PHONE OFFICE IS WATER-COOLED BY ROLSTON'S PLAN Talaphona customer tn Uedford, ballav It Or not wen receiving air cooled and water-cooled telephone errlce during the recent hot spell. Air-cooled offices, theaters, homes and trains though still somewhat ol a novelty are not entirely new In the life of the modem, up-to-date American, but air-cooled telephone service well that's something brand new. In fact, B. B. Hammond, manager - for the Home Telephone and Tele graph company, believes telephone users In Medford rightfully can boast about the only air-cooled telephone service In America. It all came about this way. .When the sun begins getting In some almost record licks, as it eently did, the second floor of the Medford telephone building becomes quite warm too warm, in truth, for the switchboard with Its hundreds 01 "Jacks" and "plugs," as well as the operators. The operators, of course, with their spirit of service typical of telephone people everywhere, smile through the heat, but the "Jacks" and "plugs" refuse to be so loyal. A "Jack" for the benefit of the uninitiated. Is a small round hole or opening In the switchboard, which designates a telephone number or customer, and to make a telephone connection the operator insert Into the 'Jack a "plug," attached at the end of a cord. This "plug" makes a contact In the "Jack" and the wires associated to It, thus making It pos sible to talk over the circuit thus established. The "Jacks" and "plugs' are metal, Metal contracts or expands with cold or warmth. And during extreme per iods of warmth, this expansion some times la so great that It becomes Impossible for the "plug" to make the necessary "contact" with the "Jack." This happened last year during one of the extreme and unusual hot spells. 6ome telephone calls went astray, or did not go through at all. This year, however, John H. Rol ton, plant superintendent for the telephone company, matched his In genuity with that of the sun's. It Is Rols ton's responsibility to have the telephone equipment In perfect order. The call must go through. So when the mercury began creeping up In the thermometer, Rolston went to work. The first thing he did was to place a aeries of water sprinklers on the roof. These absorbed some of the sun's rays. Then he fussed around . with a pipe or two, fixed this gadget and that, and soon had some of Med ford's cool (50 degree) water running through the heat radiators in the switchboard room. Air fans strateg ically placed by the radiators whirled this water cooled air throughout the1 room. Net result: A temperature never over 72 degrees In the room, and you know how hot It sometimes was out side. Not a "plug" and not a "Jack" failed to do 1U duty this year, and It was all due to Mr. Rolston and Tarlous methods of providing alr eooled telephone service. 4 Bailor Hurt R06FBTJRO, Ore., Sept. 1.

P) As serting that passage would enable him to "reorganiw and rejuvenate" the Portland police department. Mayor Joseph K. Carson today sponsored two amendments to the city charter, pro viding for retirement of nearly 40 po licemen and placing the chief of po lice under civil service. The amendments, prepared by the city attorney's office at Carson's re quest and recommended by a special police investigating committee in June, were filed today for submission to the voters in the November election. The retirement amendment carried a rider authorizing a special tax levy enabling the city council to pay 175 a month to every officer who reaches the age of 00, regardless of his posi tion or salary. The present police pension law al lows an officer to retire on half pay, The second proposal provides the mayor with power to appoint without examination a chief "who shall be man of at least 10 years' prior police experience. He would be subject to removal on written charges made and filed with the mayor, subject to the right of review by the civil service commission of a discharge from the mayor. Under the present system, the chief is not under civil service, has no ten ure of office, and need not have pre vious experience. The mayor asserted the two amend ments are the first major reaulte of a study now being made by the spe cial investigating committee, which was in conference today with August Vollmer, Berkeley, Cal.. nationally known police system organizer. He said approximately 40 men would be immediately affected by the pension plan. BABElODAYSOLD sLOCALS To Roseburg Mrs. T. J. Amapoker left by train yesterday for Roseburg.
