A receiver for the National Guaran

GULF MILLS HUNTER SHOT
Steps Frem Behind Tree ae Com
panion Fires at Rabbit
Geerge Shoffner, of Gulf Mills, was
accidentally bhet by Breeke Moere, a
companion, while they were en nn early
morning hunting trip in the Gulf weeds
ycftcrdny.
Shoffner stepped behind u tree when
their dogs started n rabbit. Moere did
net knew he vvni there. As the rabbit
came near Shoffner stepped from be
hind the tree just ns Monre fired his
gun. The shot pierced ShefTner's ear
nnd several grains were removed from
his body.
TAKEN AS PICKPOCKET
When Gilbert nnd Sullivan composed
"A pellcemnn's let Is net a happy ene"
neither knew anything about the tribu tribu
lntlens of the Electrical Bureau opera
tors, men who arc important cogs In
the city's police nnd tire service.
A fresh perplexity hns arisen te smlte
these "hello" men, who enre for .1,
000.000 telephone calls yearly. Members
of City Council complain that the voices
of the operators nre hearso and borne
times harsh.
At the Council session yesterday sev
eral members asked Chief McLaughlin,
of the Klertlcnl Bureau, If he couldn't
de something about the matter, some
thing like mnssaglug their vecnl cerds1
or toning down the rush -of nir from
masculine lungs.
The chief said today he is consider
ing threat lozenges ns a possible rem
edy. If he enn find u geed lozenge that
will attune male voices te the sweetness
of a lark's song or the wnrblc of a
thrush, nil will be well.
There arc eighteen operators In the
bureau and twenty-eight ethers, who
leek nfter the police beard nnd the fire
alarm system. They switch cnlls te
and from 2100 telephones In City Hall
und in municipal nnd county offices out
side of City Hall.
"The Ceuncllmcn must think we sit
here and wait for cnlls," said one op
erator today as his hnnds plnjcd ever
the boerd before him. Lights bobbed
up in three or four places nt once.
"We nre en the go nil the time."
continued the operator who preferred te
be namelcs. "Kuch operator here does
three times the work of the nverage
telephone operator, se we have te keep
our minds always en the job."
The operator hnd te check his com
ments while he connected several calls.
Then n woman's voice reached, him ever
the wire. Here is an cxnet rcpeit of
the conversatien:
"Klcctrlcal Bureau," said the oper
ator. "Is this the Dlectrieal Bureau''' the
caller asked. Assured thnt it was she
rcpffed she wantid the Welfare Depart
ment. I
The operator glanced ever his beard
nnd noted that nil the Welfare De
partment lines wcre busy. lie gave this
Information te the caller.
"That makes no difference," she said,
"I must have the Welfnrc Department
right away."
When he operator told her he
couldn't disconnect any of these using
the wires she hung -up, presumably in
u huff.
Here are a few of the questions that
cemn te the operators aside from their
routine duties:
"Where Is the fire? The engines just
parsed my house."
"I thought I heard an explosion;
where was It?"
"What time does the parade start?"
"What'n the score?"
"Why Is the City Hall clock stepped
and when will It be started?"
"Hew de I get te Sixty-fifth nnd
Woedlond nvenue from Main nnd Cres
son streets?"
"Whnt time docs the next train leave
for Harrisburg?"
These are specimens of the queries
asked by many persons who believe the
Klcctrlcnl Bureau Is the city's bureau of
Information. And the operators can't
talk back if they nrc sasscd.
"Oh, yes," they say, "we may get
hearso new nnd then, but can you blame,
us?"
