Here And There In Business - :$yl WEATHER FIGHTERS -- Illinois Bell has a new weapon to fight the weather. It's called a frost-cutter, and it does just that. It cuts through the frozen earth to permit cable-laying during the cold winter months. Frozen earth from fall to spring traditionally has made winter cable-laying difficult if not impossible for the telephone company. This winter, however, the frost-cutter is making it easier?" Although it's frozen underneath, linemen Ray Widhalm (left) 4619 Home avenue, McHenry, and Ron Layman, 701 Second street, Harvard, are up to their ankles in mud as they maneuver the massive cutter in Whispering Oaks subdivision, McHenry. ADVICE ON CON MEN Don't be embarrassed to ask for the identification card of a Commonwealth Edison company employee is the advice offered by District Supt. Richard Thorsen. Periodically we get calls from persons who have been cheated by individuals posing as Edison representatives,"' Mr. Thorsen said. "If you're in doubt about the identity of and Edison employee, ask for his identification card. Every Edison employee carries a card with his pi'cture for just such occasions." Confidence men operate in a number of ways. One of the most common devices is for the con man to present himself to a home or property owner as an inspector. "He asks for permission to inspect the wiring," Mr. Thorsen said. "Once he gains entrance to a home, he blows a fuse in the cutout box and states that the wiring is faulty and the owner could be heavily fined by the authorities. Next comes an offer to repair the wiring for a large fee, payable in advance. He promises to return to repair the wiring on the next day. That, of course, is the last the owner sees of the man." To protect yourself you should ask for an identification card and always have necessary work done by a reputable electrical contractor. Edison does not make unsolicited wiring surveys or inspections and never insists on immediate cash payment for the performance of any work.
