Morse and cried, "What hath God wrought!" What A. G. Bell hath wrought in my life is now a list of numbers to bring on the Big Brother era even faster than author George Orwell pre dicted. Gone are the days when my heart was young and gay and my tele phone number was 63-J. Now it's not even 284 or CAbbage 5-1128. It is, instead, 2251128, zone 903, plus 1. Things are getting even worse. Now I am forced to retain in the rusty re cesses of my brain the fact that my office telephone is no longer ARtichoke 5-4220. It is 2754220, plus my exten sion, which is 852, and that, if I am able to flex my rigid digits long enough to get the job done, I must first dial 8 when I dial my phone. Besides that, now that our switch board operator has been relieved of all such nonsense as interoffice calls and outside calls, she has also been re lieved of long-distance calls. She is a nice girl, and I am happy for her. I would like to be relieved of them myself. This IS because, in order to make a long-distance call, I must now dial 8, plus 1, plus 462, plus the long distance number, such as 5673459, and then I must tell the operator who horns into the midst of all this that my code number is 8z74163. By this time I have forgotten what I wanted to say and whom I was calling. Naturally, it is going to be beyond the realm of possibility to expect me to make a long-distance call which also entails direct dialing to Informa tion in - Anniston, Ala., or Rock Springs, Wyo., to obtain the telephone number of the person I want to call. This is far beyond my mental mech anism, even if it is only a momentary buzz in the convolutions of that auto matic chess player the telephone com pany is using these days. I don't think there's a place for me in this electronic world. I can't always remember where I park my car at the "supermarket, and I haven't the slight est idea what my license number is. The telephone company is improv ing each shining hour, and that's ever so dandy. But how come my home phone is still an eight-party line? Junior TREASURE Chest Ed.ud by MARJORIE BARROWS, Editor ol Thi Childioit'i Hour Small yf . cut- A Turkey Decoration This cheerful turkey makes a fine decoration for your Thanksgiving table or buffet. To make him, you will need an orange, a paper bag, some toothpicks, and a few fresh cranberries. Flatten one side of an orange by cutting away a small portion. Place orange cut-side-down and make a small vertical cut at one end. Pleat a strip of paper bag (about 10"x4") and form a tail by spreading the pleats at one end. Insert the other end into the small cut. Make smaller fans for wings and insert on either side. A cranberry on the end of a toothpick will make the turkey's head; a toothpick bit . will make his bill. If you like, use cran berries on toothpicks around the base for added color. t Fill the Cornucopial By Melba Baehr Give each player an old maga zine and a pair of scissors. Have the players cut out pictures of fruits and vegetables such as beets, corn, pumpkins, apples, pears that would be appropri ate to put in a cornucopia. At the end of five or ten minutes, the player with the largest num ber of harvest items is the win ner. A good game for a Thanks giving party!
