SIDELIGHTS Testing 1-2-3 Mr. Watson By DORIS LEE Does anybody know just who started the custom of answering the telephone by picking up the receiver and saying "hello?" It probably wasn't Bell. We all know his first words on his invention were, "Mr. Watson, come here," which in space-age jargon means, "Testing-one, two, three." And once the phone was in good working shape he merely turned it over to us with a few simple instructions and left the answering method entirely to our own imagination. Maybe the first phone company is responsible for the custom. In the first issue of the phone book, which undoubtedly contained more instructions than numbers, directions for answering the phone probably went like this: When answering the telephone, lift the earpiece from the cradle, and hold it close to the ear. Bring the mouth close to the mouthpiece and say something to indicate to the person calling that you are answering his ring. What you say is inconsequential as long as you project your voice into the speaker. However, do not shout. The vibration can show but the delicate mechanism in the box which has yet to be perfected. Shouting also wreaks considerable damage on the call from the standpoint of friendliness. However, it leaves both parties unidentified which can prove embarrassing if the caller has rung up the wrong number. The following sample call eliminates this hazard. Hello? Hello yourself. May I ask who's calling? That depends. Is this Central 609? Yes, it is. Is this Jane Doe? Yes, it is. Honeylamb! This is Johnny-kins! "The company respectfully holds itself not responsible for uncomfortable entanglements arising from mistaken identity." Keep It Brief I guess when you get right down to it, "hello" is the best choice. At least it's brief and to the point, which is more than can be said for the answering manners of some business firms. An example goes, "Monterosso, Pearson and Finklestein, Amalgamated Pool Service, serving Orange and Los Angeles Counties with inroads into San Diego County. Good afternoon. May I help you?" Maybe they can, if you can remember what you called them for. Other greetings seem deliberate. Editor Anaheim Gazette Anaheim, Calif. Dear Sir: For the past two have been reading letter Editor about Jim While I read one of sent in by Mr. Towns not see the one you editor about. It must have been and editorial, as I hear of my club members the pros and cons for two meetings.

Loar Anaheim, Ca P.S. I wonder if your paper could be Jim Townsend I went with. As I remember, sports editor for our school and later wrote for the aminer and Long Beach Telegram. Editor: phone; lift the earpiece from the cradle, and hold it close to the ear. Bring the mouth close to the mouthpiece and say something to indicate to the person calling that you are answering his ring. "What you say is inconsequential as long as you project your voice into the speaker. However, do not shout. The vibration can shear out the delicate mechanism in the box which has yet to be perfected. Shouting also wreaks considerable damage on the caller's eardrum. A slight cough or a soft clearing of the throat is permissible to let the caller know you are listening. Over Out "For the unimaginative the telephone company has listed the following suggestions for answering the telephone together with the matching answers for the caller: 'Jane Doe answering.' 'John Brown calling.' 'Who has just rung the Doe residence?' 'John Brown has.' 'I heard your ring.' 'Did you, now?' 'You may begin speaking.' 'You may begin listening.' 'Are you there?' 'Naturally.' (Popular in England already.) 'Hello?' 'Hello yourself.' 'The company politely suggests that the last greeting would perhaps be the most desirable' Awards Presented By Soroptimists Jerry Bennett was the recipient of the Mable Showalter Award for outstanding service at the Soroptimist Club Third Annual Mary Gove Awards Dinner held at the Gourmet Restaurant, Disneyland Hotel. Other awards were presented to Arthur Bray, a check for $100 for the work of the American Field Service; Linda Jeanne Fowler of Western High School, a $600 scholarship for nurses training; and Dr. Sidney J.

However, should space permit next week, the Gazette will reprint both. Editor Anaheim Gazette Anaheim, Calif. Dear Sir: For the past two weeks we have been reading letters to the Editor about Jim Townsend. While I read one of the letters sent in by Mr. Townsend, I did not see the one you wrote the editorial about. It must have been some letter and editorial, as I heard several of my club members discussing the pros and cons for our last two meetings. Could you please reprint the first letter that Mr. Townsend sent in, and your editorial too. I am sure that many other readers would enjoy knowing what the discussion is all about and would like to have the chance to see what started all the discussion. Sincerely yours, Betty Jane Roan 801 N. Loarra Anaheim, Calif. P.S. I wonder if the man in your paper could be the same Jim Townsend I went to school with. As I remember, he was the sports editor for our school paper and later wrote for the L. A. Examiner and Long Beach Press - Telegram. Editor: ly agree with Mr. Townsend that there is a communist threat to America — in fact, a threat such as democracy has never faced before. I disagree with his theatrical approach and fascistic tactics. We, unfortunately, have more than 'fear to fear'. When the Russian boss said "We will bury you." I have no doubt he meant every word. But 'McCarthyism' is no answer to communism, or any other threat. Bob Abboreno News Editor May 19, 1962 Editor: Anaheim Gazette Anaheim, Calif. Dear Sir: Have no desire to take sides in your editorial discussions with Mr. Jim Townsend. He, as I am told, does have considerable following among the conservatives in Southern California. You, therefore, may have taken on a very rough opponent. I will say this Mr. Editor — this is the first time I've found the Gazette interesting in the last 20 years. I'm glad we have an editor that isn't afraid of readers opinions nor is he afraid to express an opinion of him own. It's a refreshing change and I like it. So do many of my neighbors and we too hope Mr. Townsend writes again. Keep up the good word Myron Ehrlich 820 W. Vermont Anaheim PS. Many times my friends have not had a paper delivered. What time does your paper come out and how can we get a copy when we are missed? I don't want you to take sides, Mr. Ehrlich. There is too much side-taking nowadays, without full consideration for what one might be getting into. Just investigate the facts and make up your own mind. If Mr. Townsend is as rough an opponent as you feel, perhaps it is time someone did come out in the open and say something. I know many people who disagree with him in private, but won't take the time to say so in public. Bob Abboreno News Editor Supervisor Bonelli that voters who have the petition and wish may phone Mr. Salva tain a copy of the petition they can circulate and and neighbors over He also noted that it available for signing few Chamber of Commerce union offices, many candidates' here. Supervisors Must Protect Coastline The board of supervisors must protect Orange County's coastline and not give in to freeway engineers, John Dean, candidate for the 2nd District Board of Supervisors reported to a group of Huntington Beach homeowners.

Cancer Fu Betty Jane Roan 801 N. Loara Anaheim, Calif. P.S. I wonder if the man in your paper could be the same Jim Townsend I went to school with. As I remember, he was the sports editor for our school paper and later wrote for the L.A. Examiner and Long Beach Press - Telegram. Editor: Anaheim Gazette Anaheim, Calif. Dear Sir: Your paper has been most interesting this past two issues but wondered what started the fight? Until I know what Jim Townsend said in the first letter to you — don't know it I'm for or against him. He sure does write interesting letters. Where can I get a back issue of your paper to catch up on the feud? Or could you reprint the letter of Jim Townsend? I'm doing a lot of reading of letters to the editors these days. Can't decide which side I'm on yet. I'm kinda like you — afraid I may get burned up by the bomb, but other times I wonder if there is anything to fear but fear itself. Toni Sullivan May 18, 1961 7300 8th Buena Park, Calif. P.S. I work in Anaheim so read your paper when it comes to our office. Sometimes it does not come though. I really can't consider what has been taking place the past several weeks, in these columns, a fight — simply a difference of opinion as to approach. I certain- Funds Given To Magnolia According to an announcement by Congressman James B. Uitt (R-28th Dist.) Magnolia School District has been awarded the sum of $26,830.00 for school operating funds pursuant to Public Law 874. Schools which are heavily burdened by the impact of Federal installations in their area are eligible for financial assistance under this Public Law. The amount certified for payment is determined from the tentative entitlement for the fiscal year computed on the basis of information and estimates contained in the application. The total entitlement for the School District for fiscal year 1962 has been set at $38,885.00 of which the above amount has been certified for immediate payment. Additional payments will be subject to such adjustments as may be required by actual data and by the availability of funds in relation to total entitlements for financial assistance. (Funds available for fiscal year 1962 will require proration of payments at approximately 92 per cent of tentative entitlement shown.)

All rights herein are reserved. SUBSCRIPTION: $3.00 per year, payable in advance. Member, California Newspaper Publishers Association The board of supervisors must protect Orange County's coastline and not give in to freeway engineers, John Dean, candidate for the 2nd District Board of Supervisors reported to a group of Huntington Beach homeowners. "State plans for the coast freeway route may be an easy solution for a freeway engineer — but freeway engineers do not have to worry about the people who live and work there," Dean said. "An elected official must serve his area in the interest of the people. The state plan, as it now exists, would slice the beach area in half and cripple its commercial and residential growth." Dean noted that as a councilman in Garden Grove, he fought traffic islands on Harbor Blvd. "The traffic engineers won and I have no doubt that traffic moves faster. I lost, but so did the business people who had invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in frontage property and now are faced with an expressway and a concrete barrier." Dean said the new Douglas facility, the marinas, the Irvine development, etc., all will ignite the Orange County coastline into a boom "never before seen — even in Orange County." "But not if business fails and the area is split in two by a technically perfect freeway route that is realistically deadly." No Building Permits May Be Trouble A building permit may be an aggravating item to the Orange County "do-it-yourself" family man. But any thoughts of "What the city doesn't know won't hurt me" is completely false, according to Rodney L. Dye, president of the Nelson-Dye Construction Co. "A family actually may risk death, loss of home and cancellation of insurance simply because of not receiving a building permit for a minor remodeling job," Dee said. Dean said, if elected work for a "beneficialistic coast freeway route." He also has gone on support of a West Orland regional park.
