She eat quietly with her hands folded until a little reel, white or green light on her board flashed on. In front of her were many cords with metal polnten at orie end. She plugged It Into a small bole next to the light and gave the connectlon. It was yery Interesting to watch ·what goea on In the telephone oftlce when aome one plclal up thelr receiver. In the next room you see three operators. Oa at the "trouble desk... If you should call a number that was not In Wilmette, the operator would connect you with the ··trouble desk" and the "'trouble operator" would tell you your mistake. The other two operators were connecting the long distance calls with EvantJton. Wilmette handles no long distance calls. Downstairs you come Into a room of wires that connect telephones. The room seemed full of wire. In the basement )"OU see bow they make their own electricity. It ls a small room called the battery room and the air makes you cough.
