The efficiency of the automatic

ed, the school alarm was automati- 
cally sounded and part of the base- 
ment flooded before it was known 
what was taking place. ‘Thomas

Get CuristMas Funp., 
More than 13,000 employees of the 
New England Telephone and Tele- 
graph Company, including those in 
Manchester, will each participate next 
week Wednesday, in the distribution. 
of an emergency payment to assist 
them in meeting unusual present ex- 
penses. 
Employees who have been in the 
service one year or more will receive 
three weeks’ pay. Employees who 
have been in the service less than 
one year but not less than three 
months will receive two weeks’ pay. 
No employee will receive more than 
$175 and no employee of less than 
tree months’ service and no general 
official will.in any way share in the 
payments. 
While in no sense a holiday-pres- 
ent, the fact that it comes most un- 
expectedly at this time of the year 
iiakes it a most timely evidence of the 
continued concern of the Company’s 
officers for the welfare of its em- 
ployees. This distribution to em- 
plovees, amounting to over $600,000, 
was decided by the directors of ‘the 
New England Telephone and Tele- 
graph Company at their meeting in 
Poston, Tuesday, Dec. 19. Naturally, 
the “voice with the smile” is particu- 
larly in evidence among telephone em- 
ployees, without regard to sex or 
relative rank,
