Scope and content
Private telephones in Salishan homes in 1943 were a luxury and lines for the public telephone booths in the new war-time housing project were long. Florence Hargen couldn't wait for the phone booth so she is wig-wagging her message to a friend a few blocks away. (T.Times, 11/10/1943, p.1). TPL-1995.
