Regional Roundup
by Clave Twitched '
Mail Tribune Regional Editor
The task of ordering, telephone service seems to get
more involved each year. It used to be that one could
simply call in and request installation of a telephone at
a particular address and leave it at that. But color tele
phones, new types of ringing sounds and salesmanship
have changed the situation.
We moved a few weeks ago, and after gathering our
wits about us called the telephone company business
office prepared to do battle. . ' -
The color telephone negotiations were simple because
we already had a color phone. But the matter of exten
sions proved to be a tough issue, requiring the utmost
of skill to handle. Although we made It plain that we
wanted only one telephone (extensions cost an extra
, amount every month, and that adds up), the voice on
i the other end asked, "How many rooms are there in
your new home?" Like anyone else we were led to be
lieve that this question was asked solely in order to
obtain some necessary information for the order form.
Not so. The revelation that our new home housed two
bedrooms, kitchen, dining room and living room open
ed the door for a lecture on the ease and comfort offered
by extension phones in master bedroom and the kitchen.
We stood our ground, however, and won this round.
' Next we were informed that private line service
was available in the area to which we were moving,
for only so much per month. After a little verbal spar
ring we managed to extract the information that a two
party line could be obtained for between 20 and 30 per
cent less per month. We requested the two-party line. ,
The crowning moment of the business transaction
came when the voice on the other end explained that
the old-fashioned telephone ringing sound was really
out of dato and that for a small extra charge we could
enjoy something different, whereupon our ear was greet
ed by the sound of chimes flowing through the receiver.
But we managed to squirm out of that situation too.
Actually we'll have to admit that the gentle sales
pitch accorded us in Medford was nothing compared to
the little trick once pulled on us by a telephone sales
girl In southern California. On that occasion, when we
called up to order phone service at a particular address,
the girl went off the line for a few minutes. When she
returned (without any prior discussion of extensions hav
ing taken place) she announced that the service would
cost us a certain rate per month, nonchalantly adding
' that this quotation included extensions in the bedroom
1 and kitchen. '

. Othars Make Mistakes Too
The January-February issue of California Highways
and Public Works, official journal of the California Di
vision of Highways, contains the following paragraph: :
"In spite of normal precautions, gremlins managed
to gain access to the September-October copy of the
magazine and transfer the name of Robert N. Smith,
District III highway engineering associate, from the rc-
tire ent list to the obituary column. The editor is happy
to say that Mr, Smith is alive and well and that, in
. line with the classic statement of Mark Twain, the report
- of his death was greatly exaggerated."
