' L ' 't Dcbati~1g teams of ~ew Trier High ~chool vnll engage Proviso High school In Book Proviso /or Dual Debate With New Trier in April Getting There Ahead of the Trouble recently, an alarm bell rang in a telephone test station. This meant that a puncture had been made in the air-tight sheath of a busy inter-city cable. The men on duty knew that the injury was somewhere within fifty miles. Highly developed locating devices were instantly applied and in sixty-five minutes the trouble spot was located. By 7:15 in the evening, before the break in the sheath had affected service on any of the 248 pairs of wires in the cable, the repairs had been made without one ONE AFTE .RNOON conversation being interrupted. This special alarm system is one of the many mechanical and electrical \vonders developed by Bell Sys tern engineers to guard telephone conversa ttons. Automat~c warning signals, elec~ trical locating devices, constant testing of all switchboard apparatus and circuits-these are some of the ceaseless efforts that so effectively reduce interruptions to service on Belli ines.
