Poe a Tuesday, August 9, 1949 " NEVADA CITY NUGGET ® SOS LAL Page Three “DON'T SAY HELLO” (‘Don’t say ‘hello’ when answering the phone. Give your name or company mame promptly and save time.”’— From a telephone company appeal.) We read it again. ‘hello’ when you “Don’t say answer the phone,”’ it said clearly. “It wastes revolutionary time.’’ It seemed but reasonable. After all, why not co-operate with the company? So we sat down and awaited a phone Call. a —o— It is strange how long one has to wait for the phone to ring when one is not busy. If we had been absorbed in a book, tied up in a conference, trying to find a rhyme or busy at reassembling a Swiss watch there would have been a call Whatever Is sorrow, years, GRACE NOLL CROWELL DARE not pray for you, dear friend, that oH The strange unwelcome guest may pass you by, I dare not even trust that each tomorrow May hold for you. a bright and cloudless sky. I cannot hope that pain, that hard taskmaster, May leave you quite untouched throughout the Or that you may escape loss and disaster; That grief may never dim your eyes with tears. For only sorrow brings an understanding Of others’ sorrow; only as we learn The slow and tortuous way, the harsh demanding That grieving make upon us, can we turn And speak the freeing word to some hurt brother, And well we know that blue skies bring no rain To heal the heart, and we can learn no other Way to sympathize save through experienced pain. I crave the best things for you, O my friend, And for what is best we can trust God to send. Bes leaped to ‘ence does ~ iy Y\ y 2 e\ ' 3 eBoy BY INEZ GERHARD RVING MANSFIELD, young producer at Columbia broadcasting, proves that lightning can strike twice. He conceived and roduces the tremendously sucessful ‘‘Arthur Godfrey’s Talent ‘Scouts;’’ using a different twist n the same idea, he came through ith the new hit show, ‘This s Broadway,” also on CBS. He began in radio in 1943 as coordinaitor of the Fred Allen show, then, i} JY 10 MANSFIELD in 1944 and ’45, produced the Milton IRVING Berle program. Realizing what they had, CBS assigned him to originate and develop new comedy and variety shows, and he came through with the Godfrey gold mine, which made its first appearance on the air on July 8, 1946. Well, ‘“‘The Fountainhead” arrived, was seen, and proved to be disappointing, despite the excellent cast and the money lavished on the production. As with “Arch of Triumph,” a good book just was not good screen material. At luncheon in New York months ago Macdonald Carey announced that a second visit from the stork was slated for his home. Elizabeth Macdonald Carey arrived July 12th, ending a long, tedious sojourn in bed for her mother. Carey installed a television set in the bedroom to entertain his wife. He commented sadly that she didn’t care to watch football games and he did. On the lookout for new acting talent, Columbia has signed Benno Schneider as top drama coach. He is rehearsing a group of players, some of whom will be selected for screen tests. Meanwhile Richard Quine, a talent scout, is touring _the summer theaters in Denver, Omaha, Chicago and the East.’ He recently co-produced and _ codirected ‘‘Leather Gloves” for Columbia. PHONE COMPANY SHOULD ELIMINATE.. But the Company Would Ban" Hellos” Insteaa . WRONG NUMBERS, TWITCHELL THINKS By H. 1. PHILLIPS ‘every 10 seconds. But now.. silence! Nobody wanted to talk to us. But we are not easily defeated. We called up a Dudley Zeek (at random out of the book) and hurriedly left word with his secretary to phone us. 0 Presently our phone rang. We it and announced our name with no waste of time. . “Elmer Twitchell,” we said. There was no answer. We jiggled the hook and insisted on getting the connection. Central finally ‘asked, “Who called you?’ ‘‘What differit make?’’ we asked, “We will take a call from anybody.’’ Presently she “re-connected us. “Elmer Twitchell,’”’ we repeated firmly. “There is no Elbert P. Twitchell here. You have the wrong number.’’ “No, I haven’t. Listen .:. .” “ “This ‘is not Twitchell,’ the female voice insisted. “Of course not,’’ we explained. “How could it be?’’ ‘“‘Hello,’’ the voice said. “And you’re not supposed to say ‘hello,’’’ we put in. ‘Hello. Who do you want? Hello. You must have the wrong number. Hello.”’ “Stop slipping in all of those hellos!’’ we yelled. ‘‘Haven’t you heard about them?’’ —o— Here a male voice put in. ‘Hello,’ it said. ‘‘Are you trying to get me?”’ “No, you’re trying to get me,” we said. be ‘“‘Who are you? Hello,’ the voice repeated. “Elmer Twitchell. You are Dudley Zeek, aren’t you?” **Who?’’ “Dudley Zeek.’’ “No,’”? came the answer. ‘‘This is the Economy Pastrami Factory, Amos Finch speaking.” “Are you trying to get Elmer Twitchell?” “No. My secretary has been trying to get the city hall. What’re you doing on the line. Hello. There must be a mixup. Hello. Hello.” It was too much, We hung up and fell, wilted, into a chair. After a while the phone rang. The wife answered it. ‘‘There’s a Dudley Zeek on the wire. He says you left word for him to call.’’ : “Just say ‘hello’ to him.. four or five times,’? we concluded bitterly. —o— _ This is ‘the season muggy When parents do their best To send their kids to summer camps— As parents need a rest! —o— Hi.—Saw a sign jin the country “Cattle Crossing. 35. miles per hour,’’ That’s too fast for any, cow to move in modern traffic.—Arthur McElroy, —o— “United States Deficit 98 Million a Day’’—Headline.

Corner "Fiction LOVINGLY, TEMPLE By Richard H. Wilkinson aT ~EAR TEMPLE: I was indeed glad to learn that you had obtained such a satisfactory position. I am sure that you will make a most efficient secretary. Frankly, I have been entertaining some misgivings about your future. Serving in the capacity of guardian to modern young ladies is, after all, hardly in my line, although I was only too glad to look after the daugh» Minute . ter of my close . friend, Tom Fiction Creighton, when he so unexpectedly passed away. I imagine you are quite a grown up young lady now, though it is hard for me to visualize you in any other. form than a girl in pigtails and short dresses—”’ Aaron Bell, 34, looking 10 years younger, abruptly ceased dictating
and stared hard at his stenographer. The stenographer, Miss Daniels by name, was small, dark, vivacious and exceedingly attractive. She had come to work in the law office of Attorney Aaron Bell two weeks previous. She was a capable girl, yet for some unexplainable reason Aaron hadn’t been able to get used to her. That is to say, he felt nervous whenever he was dictating letters. During the next few days Aaron began to get an inkling of why it was that he felt uneasy when dictating letters to Miss Daniels. He began to wonder if heretofore he hadn’t been attempting to evade an issue. He asked himself, secretly, if Miss Daniels was becoming to mean more to him than just a secretary. WO DAYS LATER Aaron was rudely swept out of the realm of ecstasy (a state of mind brought about by his dinner: date with Miss Daniels), by receiving another letter from his ward. ‘(Dear Guardian: My boss is really quite lovely, and has been displaying an unusual amount of interest in me since my last letter. I am not a little flattered by his attention and very much thrilled. In fact, I believe I could fall in love with him very easily.’’ Aaron rang for Miss Daniels. “Dear Temple: I demand that you resign from your present position at once. It’s silly and absurd to think of a girl your age falling in love, especially with a man who makes love to every stenographer he employs.” ; That night Aaron suggested a drive through the country and was delighted when Miss Daniels accepted. It was a beautiful June evening, with a full moon and a cooling breeze blowing off the ocean. It might have been the atmospheric conditions which stirred to life the slumbering romance that lurks within the breast of every man, or it might have been the simple desire of a man for a mate. At any rate Aaron took Miss Daniels in his arms and kissed her and whispered nonsensical things that somehow seemed to fit the occasion. HE NEXT MORNING he found another letter from Temple Creighton on his desk. ‘Dear Guardian: I’m sorry, but commands and demands from folks like you don’t mean a thing when a girl is in love. And your little Temple is certainly in love. I expect she’ll be proposed to in the very near future.’’ Aaron buzzed for Miss Daniels. ‘‘Dear Temple: This thing: has gone far enough, It’s a pity you couldn’t have been endowed with at least a fraction of your father’s good sense. It is my wish that you immediately send me the name and address of this boss of yours. I shall write to him at once.’’ Aaron had hoped that that night he would find himself courageous enough to offer a proposal of mar‘riage to. Miss Daniela. Yet when again they were seated on the cliff watching the moon come up out of the ocean, his courage failed. Heavy-eyed he went to the office next morning to find a letter awaiting him from Temple Creighton. “Dear Guardian: You were right. He isn’t the man I thought he was. Apparently he has just been amusing himself, with no idea of asking me to marry him, I do.wish you’d talk to him. His name is Aaron Bell. Lovingly, Temple.”’ LAST WEEK‘'S 3 ANSWER S 5] AITITI VC BG .
