The blaze, which was caused from a firecracker which had been thrown on the roof by ordinary post card. a child, was extinguished before the hose carts arrived./ The large coal elevator at the Wilbur Lumber company's yards on the west side began to show signs of weakness last week, necessitating strong braces to be erected along the lower west side of the structure.

Out stepped 18 men -- telephone men from ten communities, some as- far as ^0 miles away. But theirs wasn't telephone work. Converging on the house, they went to work with paint brushes, hammers, muscles and good will. Scotty, a fellow worker at Illinois Bell, had-been rushed to the hospital with polio a few weeks before. Besides an unfinished new roof, there were other tasks around the house that had to be postponed--all too heavy for Mrs. Smith and the three youngsters, aged 7, 6 and 5, to handle. Scotty's telephone friends got busy. "Scotty's sick, let's give him a hand." Over the telephone they organized a rescue squad. Meanwhile, another group, Scotty's neighbors in Tower Lake, had the same idea. A week after polio'hit him, they gave the house a full coat of paint. On that Saturday after Labor Day, the 18-man telephone team moved into action. Before they were through, they had finished the roof, given the garage a double paint job, painted the screens, washed the kitchen walls and ceiling, mowed the lawn -- even waxed the car. Polio had stopped all Scott Smith's projects on his Tower Lake home. But his telephone friends took over -- organized an 18-man "paint brush and hammer team"-- finished thf^ new roof and painted the trim and garage. Best of all, just released from the hospital, Scotty was up for "his" day. On crutches, he watched "Operation Smith House" with his wife and the three youngsters. There are a lot of things that make Illinois Bell "a good place to work."To mention a few, good wages, sickness and disability benefits, promotions from within the r a n k s , r e g u l a r s a l a r y i n creases and a liberal pension plan. These are all important, but just as important in any job are the people around you. In the telephone company, you work with helpful, friendly men and women--typified by this 18-man crew which rallied to help Scott Smith and his family in time of need.
