‘The pay telephone service in Cassiar is
deplorable at the very best and intolerable
at the very least. Recently we surveyed
the public telephone booths and found:

1)
2)

Phone in bunkhouse 92 missing
Phone in the Rec Centre - door
missing from phone booth - no
privacy.

Phone near former post office
building - phone missing - booth
smelled as though someone had used
it as a public lavatory.

Phone in snack bar - it was working,
but’ there were three people in line
for it.

Pay telephones that operate are of utmost
importance in a community, such as Casstiar,
where a large number of people live in
bunkhouses and do not have their own phone.
For manv, a pay telephone is thetr only
contact with the outside world, other than
an understandably slow postal service.

Furthermore, the only operating tele-
phones are located in buildings that keep
limited hours. What does a shift worker
do if he wishes to place a call after
midnight?

We have been in contact with CNT about
this matter, and have been assured that the
phone on the main street will be relocated
in front of the new store, but what is
really needed is a pay telephone in each
bunkhouse equipped for incoming as well as
outgoing calls. It is still not possible
to reach single status emplovees by tele-
phone, other than if thev are on the job
and working near a phone. I am sure that
the company does not appreciate having its
telephone used for personal calls.

Recently, an inconsiderate person saw
fit to have a bowel movement almost on top
of the cable supplying power to the 1400
shovel. While we realize that there is no
latrine up there on the peak, the person
responsible for this vulgar and filthy act
should have gone away from the working area
to attend to his business.

The title of this feature, which we hope
will appear on a monthly basis, comes from
the days of Vaudeville. Many eighteenth
century theatres had if emblazened across
their fire curtains, both to indicate the
wonderful fibre from which the curtain was
woven, and to apologize for the amateur
nature of the performance. We felt it to
be most appropriate here.
