during the pre ceding period of relative calm For those who depend on the telephone to conduct their busi ness the working day now be gins by taking the receiver off the hook in the hope of getting line This can take anything be tween few minutes to an hour or two and depends on your dis trict luck and the weather Rain makes telephone commu nication virtually impossible phenomenon which has nothing todo with the war Even during Beiruts prewar days one is told the under ground cables ca trying the tele phone lincs were not water proof Jnce water seeps into the cables or connecting points the system goes wrong Getting line and dial tone is by no means guarantee of success More often than not the number answering will not correspond to the number dial ed Many Beirut telephones now are fit only to receive calls while others can only be used to make calls WORKOUT SYSTEM In some neighborhoods the owners of incoming telephones and those with outgoing in struments have developed

wouldbe caller from the need to pay constant attention to his telephone while waiting for line Placed next to the receiver the devices make shrill noise when the dial tone comes on For at least one subscriber the Beirut telephone roulette is said to have been lucky Ac cording to this story an ex asperated businessman after hours of abortive attempts finally dialed the number of business
