Show JiilHL-- . j THE SPRING VILLE (UTAH) HERALD Page Three Mapieton telephones improved During the past two weeks, work has been going forward in Mapieton on the new tele-phone system. Ross B. Jenson manager of this area, reports that Suburban Service will re-place the Rural Service that Mapieton has had up to this time. All telephones will be one and two party lines. Most of the construction work of setting up poles and laying cables has been com-pleted. Monday they started the actual connection of tele-phones. This work will contin-ue through July and August, and is expected to be complet-ed in that time. This will mark the begin-ning of a new era for the town, and townspeople will soon be talking about the old eight-part- y lines, the horse and buggy and getting water from the old well. It should make a great im-provement in public relations, Those who haven't had the ex- - perience of being on a party line, have never had their pa-tience really tested. The sweet little old lady who lives in the neat white home with the beautiful flowers and oodles of friends can suddenly become, "That old Hen up the street, that thinks she owns this line." The kind gentle farmer, who seldom raises his voice, comes into use the phone, be-cause his mower is broken down. He wants to see about getting a new part, but two neighbors are passing the time fo day with one another. He paces the floor and grumbles impatiently; trying the phone several times, then after about a. half hour, he explodes like a fire cracker. A favorite subject at quilt-ing parties has been, whose line is hardest to get in town and why. Things improved a lot with the dialing system. They fixed it so only families heard their ring and one oth-er family's ring. Remember the fun we had when we heard as many as five rings? Maybe your ring would be four longs and a short or two shorts and a long, etc. . If the operator wasn't on the job or if you happened to have the radio or vacuum cleaner going, one short and two longs could sound like most anything. It wasn't uncommon for two or even three to pick it up at once and start the Merry-go-roun- d of "hello, hello, hello, who's this, well who's this?" Then everybody would hang up, and in five minutes the whole thing would start all ov-er again. All this will soon be in the past. . Thomas Wiscombe Hooper of Mapieton has been released from the Navy, according to a report from the Selective Serv-ice board, while the names of Bruce Deeben and Francis Eu-gene Beardall of Springville, are listed among those re-leased from the Army and Air Force respectively. The Secretary of the Health Education and Welfare Dept. last year spent $3,500 on tele-grams urging support for the Administration's College Aid Bill.

Town and Country. A tragic accident happened to Jay Warthen, 13 year old grandson of Ruby Jensen, a week ago. Jay lives in Wen-dell, Idaho, and was working on a neighbor's farm, when his foot got caught in a hay-bale- r. He was rushed to St. Benedict Hospital at Jerome, where his leg had to be am-putated above the knee. He is now at Shriner's Hospital in Salt Lake. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Warthen (the former Genevieve Jensen) who lived in Benjamin until about a year ago, when they moved to Idaho.
