But all was not relaxation.

Paint Thinner
Delays Pool Job
A mix-up In the delivery of
paint thinner delayed the
painting of the Jackson park
swimming pool yesterday, ac
cording to Recreation Super
visor Ken Lyons.
Lyons said the thinner,
which was ordered from Port
land was mistakenly deliv
ered to Coos Bay instead of
Medford. The thinner was to
be delivered yesterday after
noon, he said.
The pool will not be open
until Wednesday, at the earl
iest, Lyons said, to give the
paint the proper amount of
time to dry.
Painting of the pool is be
ing done, he pointed out, to
give the pool a smoother sur
face. The city has received
numerous complaints about
children scraping their feet
on the bottom and sides of
the plaster finished pool.
Cost of the painting will be
about $500, Lyons said.
The second session of swim
ming instruction classes,
which were scheduled to start
at Jackson pool July 11, have
been cancelled and will be
rescheduled at a later date,
he said.
listen to It, Crcager says.
Here's how the machine Is
supposed to work:
When some one misdlals or
dials a telephone number
that has been taken out of
service, they arc automatic
ally connected to the an
nouncing machine.
"This is a recording," the
voice says. "The number you
have reached is not In service
at this time. If you need as
sistance stay on the line and
an operator will answer."
Wait for Oparator
The telephone user,
Crcager points out, who docs
not need operator assistance
should look up the number
in the phone directory before
dialing again. Those who need
assistance should wait for the
operator to answer.
"What's happening," Cre
ager says, "is that callers
reaching the announcement
stay on the line, and then
ask the operator for infor
mation not available to her."
The questions are some
times as far afield as, "What
time does the next bus leave
for Grants Pass?" and "How
do you spell 'Minneapolis'?"
Creager said the announc
ing machine is arranged so
that only calls that are mis
dialed or calls to permanent
ly disconnected numbers
reach it.
Calls to numbers that have
been changed or where the
number is temporarily dis
connected at the subscribers
request, go directly to the
operator. She then Informs
the caller of the new number
or notifies him of the tem
porary disconnect.
Creager said the announc
ing machine was installed be
cause the Company hoped
to save customer's time on
calls requiring assistance. He
still has hopes.
