Hall, Bell Telephone Company official, said that squirrels with a taste for tele- phone cables used to be a fair- sized problem to the company.

Rifle bullets, shotgun pellets, nails, tacks and other pieces of metal often have been found em= bedded in the cable sheathing.

Colin Wills told the story in the BBC's Overseas programme "London Co- Jumn" and said "It's a wrench, for tradition dies hard in the field of navigation. And the place itself is steeped in the history of man's endeavour to master the secret of the skies." 3 When Charles II set up the ob- servatory in 1675 for the express purpose of assisting mariners to make more 'accurate observations, - Greenwich was, as its Saxon name implies, "a green witch or bay on the Thames" a few miles below London. It was the chosen retreat of Kings and Queens and some of the royal residences still stand there glong with the bombed shell of the' lovely church built by Sir Christopher Wren, and the famous Royal Naval College. "It was Wren who built the first Greenwich Observatory. This red- brick octagonal room is still in ex- istence and will probably be pre- served as an astronomical museum. It was there the first Astronomer Royal did great work in helping navigators to determine longitude and also supplied precious data to Sir Isaac Newton, who was engaged on developing his theory of the 's motion. A long line of as- omers has followed him, their Mievements ranging from. the t weighing of the earth to the latest investigations into sun spots, cosmic rays, radio wavés and the most accurate timekeeper yet de- vised, the Greenwich quartz crystal clock. ~ "The site chosen for the new ob- servatory", sald Wills, "is Hurst. fnonceux Castle in Sussex, high up in clear country air and only a Mttle off the true 'Greenwich mer- idian. At the Castle the .telescopes and instruments, labor and i offices from Greenwich are being gradually set up; the change-over will take place without any dis- turbance to the observatory's work. Greenwich will miss those round domes up on the hill in the park, domes which during the war were tattered and torn by German bombs; the riverside town will fall back on its other claim to fame, its link with the traditions of the Navy. But the name of Greenwich will still stay on the charts all over the wond as that of the prime mer- idian, and Greenwich time will still be standard time. Even down at Hurstmonceux theyll cling to the old name; the observatory will be called the Royal Greenwich Ob- servatory, Hurstmonceux, which is a pleasant way of moving house and Is Solemnized In Seugog Church MRS.
