It Is Easier to Complete A Telephone
Call Than to Report—“The
Line Is Busy.”
Very seldom does the telephone operator report a line busy when it
isn’t == it is less work to complete the call.
A request from a subscriber for a number which the operator reports
bu£y usually means a second call will be made for the number.
If the subscriber makes a second call and the line is still busy the oper=
ator’s work has been doubled. Jf the subscriber calls for the number a
third time, whether the connection is made or not, the operator’s work has
been tripled on this one call.
The line may be busy, 1, because some one is using the telephone call
ed. 2, because another person on the same party line is usng his tele
phone, or 3, when some one else is trying to get the same number the same
time you are.
Please be considerate of the telephone oprator == she does her work
willingly, always courteously mid wonderfully well.

From Raymond Parrish),
i U. S. Myrant, If. Y. City, May 13th.'
Editor Little River News:
It has been many months since I
last wrote to your valuable paper, al
most three years I think. I sent you
several articles before the war but
when Uncle Sam decided to call Kaiser
Bill’s bluff, news ite*ws concerning the
navy life became strictly taboo. Now
that the big show is over and, en
couraged with seeing my earlier at
tempts in print *1 will try to “bust” in
to print again. I am serving on board
one of the destroyers that did very
efficient duty in convoying the big
transports across the pond, much to
Fritz’s dismay. The Myrant is one of
the best destroyers of her type in the
flotilla. No more coaling ship for the
men that come to th;3 ship from the
battle Vagons, for she’s an oil burn
er. In other ships other days the
old cry “All hands coal ship,” which
meant tffttt some five or six hundred
men would turn out in their dirtiest
clothes and swing on the busy end of i
a coal scoop from early morn till late
at night. They still do It on lots of
the ships now. But on the destroyers
the cry "four hands lead out the fuel
hose” means about tmrty minutes
work for four men and you never
know the ship is taking on "coal” un
til its all over with. It gives the men I
more* time for other duties and enables J
them to keep a neater ship. To show ,
you the spirit of the navy especially j
the destroyer boys, I will give you j
some figures from the destroyer's sub- [
scriptions in the fifth liberty loan. The |
Myrant with a complement of eighty
nine men including officers subscribed
ten thousand two Tiundred and fifty
dollars making an average of about
! one hundred and fourteen dollars per |
man. The U. S. S. Jouett did even J
better, with a crew or one hundred arid
six men, officers included, she sub
scribed fifteen thousand dollars, mak
ing an average of one hundred and
thirty-six dollars per man. The Pauld
ing equaled the Myrant b.ut with a
crew of ninety six men. This is only j
a few of the hundrecs of the destroy
ers e^a battleships. Can anyone won- j
4f.r why Fritz laid down and quit, j
Most of us navy boys had an opportun
i ity to see where oiir money went in ^
J the liberty loans not very long ago in
New York. The U. S. S. Bushnell ar
rived there bringing five German sub
marines manned by American sailors.
Believe me, after seeing one of them
a person feels a depth'charge was too
good for them for tney certainly are
wicked looking craft. They are to be
shown at all the seacoast cities along
the Atlantic and it is rumored that
they are to voyage up the Mississippi
[river as far as St. Louis'probably far
ther, finally going to the west coast
[via the Panama canal. Anyone wish
| ing to see something out of the ordi
nary, will be more in an repaid to go
. and see them while in the Mississippi, j
|_ We are at present in Charleston. S.!
C., but expect to leave here soon for
Key We3t, Fla., where we will hold
torpedo and gunnery practice. We are
all hoping to get ^ chance to make
I liberties in Havana, Cuba, if possible.
| We have just returned rrom*C uba but
jdid not visit Havana. Usually Cuba
for Hatiai likes to tndulgfe in comic
opera revolutions every year and we
have difficulties in getting liberty there
but this year they were too busy list
ening to the big scrap and forgot their
own troubles. So we were permitted
to visit Santiago de Cuba, Manzinilla,
Guantamo City and many other cities
of great Interest, the most interesting
being Santiago de Cuna, with its old
fortifications especially the Moro Cas
tle. We also visited tl\e famous Blue
beards castle and its adjoining neigh
bor, Blackbeards Castle.
Well dear readers I am sure you are
tired of this by now so thanking you
for giving me this much atention, I am
yours very truly, ,
Raymond Parrish. '
