Marie's Musings
By Maris Hobo
The phones stopped ringing at
10:30 a.m. Monday. And this is the
day we go to press!!
mb
When we realised what had
happened, we began picking up
the receiver about every seven to
10 ententes t» see if anyone was on
the Use. Occasionally they were,
so we didn’t miss every call.
However, I, realise we probably
■teed several calk during this
Then about 2 pm the line went
dead. Anyone trying to reach us
got a busy signal. We could get
nothing.
mh
I’m sure we don’t have every
story or ad in this week’s paper,
simply because we were unavail-
able-due to equipment malfunction.
We apologize for the inc-
onvenience and thank you for your
patience. Hopefully we will not face
this problem again any time soon.
mh
Sometimes it takes a
breakdown like this to help us ap-
preciate what we do have.
After operating a half day
without a telephone, I can better
appreciate the effort it took to
produce a newspaper in the days
before telephones. And think how
stark the pages must have looked
before they learned how to take
photographs, much less print
Early newspapers depended on
woodcuts, or drawings, if they
chose to illustrate a story. Imagine
the hours of work, and the artistic
ability, to create the woodcut.
Needless to say, they didn’t use a
whole lot of art in their papers
back then.
mh
Today, thanks to modem tech-
nology, we can aim a camera,
develop the film, print a photo,
shoot a halftone and print a variety
of photos to illustrate our stories.
Sometimes our technology
fails....the camera is set wrong,
fhfmiraU get contaminated, film
gets exposed to light, or some kind
of glitch gets into the process.
When that happens, newspapers
either leave out the photos, or print
what they have and hope it will
reproduce well enough to illustrate
the story.
mh
Wouldn’t it be nice if everyth-
ing always worked exactly as it’s
supposed to?
Have a wonderful week and
give people a smile. They may
need one.
