called a troubleshooter uhch may sound like sport but it isnt for him any hour of the night he may be roused from sleep somewhere the line is down and it la up to him to fix it right away usually the line is down because there hat been a storm it isnt much fun to cling to the top of a pole with a zero gale taking your breath away finding the bre k in the line is not as bad as it used to be it used to mean that men had to trudge along through the storm pcrriaps for miles until the bad spot was found today there are delicate instruments which can locate the spot within a few rods from an office many miles away they are so accurate that if there is a break in the 180 miles of line between toronto and samia a man can sit in a building in toronto and locate the spot within a poles length or so or a man can sit in a building in montreal and find a break anywhere between there and quebec he can tell the troubleshooter almost the very cole to go to becauie every pole now is num- cred but the troubleshooter has to do the actual job and it means more than losing sleep or braving bad weather it calls for very high technical skill big cables are simply lead containers holding hundreds of tightly packed wires each fine as a hair when the cable is burnt out for a stretch or is opined there is a fine luoking mess it looks like the stuffing of a hair mat tress each of these hundreds of fine wires has to be connected again to its mate in the other half of the cable if you can imagine youself finger ing those wires at two oclock of a stormy wintry morning you will realize how good the troubleshooter has to be at his job storms cost money as well as dis comfort the telephone aystem has over u75o0o miles of wire strung on poles stretch- ing across 23000 miles of country and every storm hits some part of the system a big storm can do a great deal of damage sleet has cost the telephone company as much as a million dollars in one year sometimes one storm means spending more than 100000 without delay there is no time to call the directors together the job has to be done and the money must be spent the money is ready because the telephone company has followed a policy of making definite provision for such emergencies and the job is done because the telephone business has men and women like the trouble- shooter alive to the meaning of service and eager to keep the telephone
