Era aad Express by Stuart Starr son of Mr and Mrs Elmer Starr Fine artL Mr Stair is in where he has been a series of of Quaker people College Oxford Jury Dear John i We spent a week at the Young Friends conference at Reading tearing the world apart and re building it to our own specifica tions Im afraid that we didnt quite get the whole universe put back into its proper orbit but we certainly had an exchange of views between east and west and many of us will take home a much healthier respect for the people of Europe as they grapple with all the difficulties that face If more people from different parts of the world could be brought together to discuss their problems as we did Im fairly- sure that it would result in more peace- and harmony than exist in the world just now I dont mean that we reached agreement on all the vital issues Far from it but we did learn to under stand and respect each others feelings and convictions Leaving Reading Friday after noon we returned for a weekend in the hurleyhurley of metropol ian London Friday night we went to see Henry VI at The Old Vic and I think it is a tri bute to British democratic feel ings that our group not start an International incident One member of our party a native of Oklahoma went to the theatre attired in his native cowboy costume of blue jeans and denim shirt and they werent even very clean I expected that he be ejected but nobody seemed to take any notice Saturday afternoon was spent at an afternoon tea and recep tion where all the World Con ference delegates were supposed to get acquainted It was really quite ah interesting time there were about 600 present so it wasnt hard to find someone In teresting to talk to and the food was more plentiful than you ex pect at such functions afternoon about of us boarded a special train for Oxford arriving in the early evening- My sisterinlaw Dor othy Starr and I were directed to College where we were booked as man and wife We debated about informing them of the error but when we discovered we were all to have individual rooms and everything would be proper and respectable we let it pass the result is that we each have a very commodious and luxurious room with two other couples on the same floor We have discovered that being married has very definite advan tages as our facilities are much superior to those of some of our friends We were informed on arrival by an old Oxford man that here you can have sanitation or hist ory but you cant have both We are content to live with the sanitation as we can visit the history any time we want to In cidentally SomerviUe is one of the five womens colleges at Ox ford Im not sure how many mens college there are but there are several It hard to express ones feel ings and Impressions of such a place as this The very atmos phere Is pervaded by a feeling of history I think a degree of stuffiness Each college is a unit in itself with a high wall around it so you can obtain ad- TELEPHONE MANNERS Sorry Wrong Numbe r By CAROLINE ION This morning when for the third time we came in from the raspberry patch to answer the telephone only discover that it vas another wrong number we began to wonder how many people misuse Alexanders inven tion Perhaps the Bel Telephone Co should have such Instructions as speak clearly engraved on the mouthpiece of each tele phone Men claim without any foun dation thats a nervous tic and wink my friend that the vast majority of females abuse the telephone Cant you hear one of them threatening now Ill have that thing taken out of the house My how unreas onable After all he only tried for threequarters of an hour to reach his spouse by phone The strong silent sex claim that too many gals use the tele phone as a bond of friendship rather than as a means of com munication discussing the babys formula a simply divine hat at Eves or what Mrs Soandso wore on the Main St yesterday Women excuse such lengthy conversations by saying that since the town has grown much they never an op portunity to call upon an ac quaintance who lives at the other be exactly fair to her After all its not her fault if her clients make their appointments while practicing blowing bubbles with their gum admiring their new dentures in the tumbler on the sideboard or masticating their toast Speaking with the Bell Tele phone chief operator Miss we asked if the Bell had com piled any statistics on the causes for wrong numbers Miss said that they had no actual list ing of such causes but it was recognized that poor articulation was the chief offender Subscribers frequently dont bother to check the number in their directory They know it is a J exchange or it Then when looking quick ly for a number in the directory their eyes jump to the line above or below Result another wrong number The number of times an oper ator a wrong connection is negligible in comparison with the total wrong- numbers tele phoned in a day Miss said that and sound very simi lar over telephone as dp and Also mistaking please for Is a common occurrence in wrong numbers The solution appears to lie in end of town So they visit by checking the number if you are TONE New

confused husbands But to get back to the busi ness of wrong numbers Seems many people are careless about their articulation Is that as bad as halitosis Never noticed that one in any of the ads Our number is so we have calls for Arctic Lockers Their telephone number Is Some folks say 99 please and it comes out Why only last week we an swered the phone to he told This is Bells Corners calling Yes we answered wondering what they could want from us We werent long remaining In ignorance for the voice contin ued 50 pork chops We thought we were wellslocked when we had four or five of them for dinner Frenchs Beauty Parlour has for their phone number The way some people mostly women say their five sounds like a nine so operator rings Could you squeeze me In today for a and wave Is it time for a redye This is Mrs Blank could I have on appoint ment for a cold wave And so on and on goes We a re just nasty enough to make all these appointments and for the same hour too He he he we chortle

shrubsand hedges There are no colleges hi session just how so we dont see the place at work but in hol iday garb Contrary to common concep tion Oxford is also quite an in dustrial town and railway centre so there is plenty of bustle traf fic and noise Im sorry to say that because of the lack of rain the grass is extremely brown However one thing that has pressed me about England is the
