Don't Be Brusque to The One Who Answers The Telephone Dear Mrs. Beeckman: If a man calls a girl on the tele- phone and one of her sisters an- swers, is it proper for him to chat with the sister for a few minutes, or should he immediately ask for the one' he has called? Bob. A good question, Bob, and one often perplexing. Perplexing, be- cause if he immediately asks to speak to Dorothy, Betty, who an- swered the telephone, may well feel that he is brusque, curt, not a very polite person. On the other hand, if he chats overly-long with the telephone-answerer, this seems out- of-order, holds up Betty, and also Dorothy, particularly if she is ex- pecting his call. So "the happy me- dium" is best. .. just exchange a few words, graciously said, and then, "I'd like to speak to Dorothy. . . + is she there?"

He added, "I don't want to go back to jail for another long week of it," when Magistrate Gor- don Foster remanded him. No one offered to post the required $500 bail. Stother was one of 13 youths ar- rested early Sunday morning at the Georgian Bay Wasaga Beach resort after rioting between rival gangs identified as the Beanery and Junction outfits. A third group known as the Tipp boys may have been involved. Four of the youths were acquit- ted while the others were fined be- tween $15 and $75 on charges ran- ging from possessing beer illegally to obstructing police. The gangs have been terroriing residents and visitors at the beach during the summer week-ends. In the last fracas, some 20 boys enter- ed the Wasaga Inn and beat two hotel guests. Some acquittals on drunkenness charges were won Wednesday by inability of witnesses to identify the boys charged.. Crown Attorney Frank Hammond complained that two important witnesses were "ab- =35U0d UMOID aYL ,'pPrdnjs Apajnjos quently withdrew three of the charges, Victor Kehoe, midway employee at the beach; testified he was roughed up by a gang, bruised on the chest, cut on the back of the head and kicked in the eye. How- ever, he was one of the witnesses whose hesitancy about identifica- tion provoked Mr. Hammond to say he was "disgusted."

The sad thing about it is that, in our very fallible ways, there is a certain amount of truth underlying the contention. People do seem to have an amazing capacity for ac- cepting as truth figures that would make any amateur economist gag. A fairly recent instance was the newspaper 'and radio story of a re- tailer who was found guilty of im- posing a 218 per cent profit on a transaction in nails. This hearty figure was accepted by innumerable people as a simple fact, and so be- came another of the unwarranted reflections on our system of enter- prise. Had these profits been actual we wouldn't have been writing this piece, but would have been sharing the resentment that was so general. Presumably the 218 per cent came into the matter somewhere, and the figure itself isn't disputed but, as presented, it was one of those juicy big lies that seem to muddle the thinking of otherwise intelligent people. Now, just what might be an honest and reasonable profit in the building trade market we would not know, but even in a most erous mood we would hardly say it might be 218 per cent. That sort of reflection was all that the com- mentators needed. They recognized the bigness of the figure, if not the lie, and they knew also that, being ammunition for the willing critics, it would be well received. So why look farther? Had they looked farther, however, they undoubtedly would have recognized that the 213 per cent would only have been a profit under very unusual circum- stances, to wit: if the merchant hadn't needed a store in which to carry on business, if he didn't have to finance the stock, if he didn't have to pay himself or his clerks anything for services, if light and heat and power were supplied free, if the property and stock went on forever in unimpaired efficiency and value, if insurance companies would carry his considerable risk without any charge, and the city generously supply its services and protections without taxation. But the 218 per cent less these deduc- tions was probably no more than any reasonable citizens would have thought a fair return for the risk and effort. That is the technique of the big lie.
