MANCHESTER BOY SCOUTS 
‘““Camp Province’’, 
S. Effingham, N. H. 
The ‘‘Boy Seouts,’’ Troop No. 1, 
Mancehster, Mass., arrived at their 
camp in good time and presented a 
fine sight as they came riding and 
‘cheering into camp in a large hay 
rack. All along the route the peo- 
’ ple waved them a welcome and have 
Telephone Talks 
Led 
‘“special car, 
other person on that line. 
Household business before pleasure. 
need not be curtailed, but your service would be improved if they 
were made in conventional visiting hours. 
“Rush Hours” 
No other public service is called upon to meet such ex- 
traordinary fluctuations of demand as is the telephone. 
‘‘rush hours’’ of trolley and steam roads represent, by com- 
parison, a demand that is steady and moderate. 
Moreover, during the transportation 
some people must stand, or, if they insist upon having a seat, 
must wait for less crowded ears. 
In telephoning, however, the simile would be applied by 
stating that each ‘‘passenger’’ 
and that this car must have a ‘‘special motor- 
man and conductor,’’ and the absolute right of way over a 
““special pair of rails’’ from the point where its journey be- 
gins to the point where it ends. 
In telephone exchanges the ‘‘rush hours’’ usually are those 
between 8.30 and 11 a. m. It is during this period that party 
line subscribers are apt to be most troubled by ‘‘busy’’ reports. 
It would materially help the service of subscribers on such 
lines if calls that are not imperative—social calls, for ex- 
ample were deferred to the afternoon, leaving the morning 
hours free for domestic business calls. 
It would be well if party line users would keep in mind 
this fact—that while any one subscriber on it is talking, it is 
closed to every other person connected therewith, and also to 
every person desirous of communicating with him or with any 
seemed pleased to have the boys 
visit their town, and beautiful lake 
the equal of any Scottish Loch. Many 
New York and New England peo- 
ple and Boston families are alive to 
the beauties of this region and are 
buying up the beauty sites for sum- 
mer homes. The boys transporta- 
tion was paid from Manchester to 
the camp site. 
The boys are having ‘‘the time of 
Party line ‘‘telephone visits’’ 
The 
ce 
rush hour’’ erush 
must have not a seat, but a 
New England Telephone 
and Telegraph Company 
their life,’ the old ‘‘Camp Dana”’ 
veterans voting this ‘‘the best yet.’’ 
A few of the younger boys got home- 
sick and were sent home Monday 
morning and now the camp is set- 
tled down to its true spirit of work 
and play and all are well. 
The baseball game between the 
Boy Seouts and the S. Effingham 
nine which was composed entirely 
of grown men went against the 
‘*seouts’’ by a score of 17 to 13 but 
the boys never played a pluckier 
game nor showed themselves more 
manly. 
The time is devoted to camp du- 
ties, building a log bungalow, and 
early morning fishing, Rev. A. G. 
Warner landing the first bass which 
weighed three pounds. Sidney 
Baker caught the largest pickerel 
thus far. 
The afternoon is devoted to all 
sorts of pastimes and diversions as 
the boys desire. 
The evenings are brilliant with a 
hugh camp fire that can be seen on 
the hills for many miles around and 
story telling and fun fill in the time 
untH ‘“‘lights out’’ are sounded aft- 
er songs and evening prayer. 
The camp is enjoying splendid 
health, all precautions toward this 
end being carefully taken, and eve- 
ry family represented among the 
‘‘scouts’’ may rest in the assurance 
that ‘‘all is well’? at ‘‘Camp 
Province.’’
