Telephone Call
A man with a pair of thigh gumboots under his arm joined city workers having lunch on the bank of the Avon River yesterday. He took off shoes, and then socks, put on gumboots and waded into the river near the Gloucester Street bridge—much to the curiosity of the lunch-eaters. The man fished around on the bed of the river for a moment or two, then dragged up a telephone festooned with weed. The Post Office reported that the telephone was another victim of vandalism of slot boxes, and had been ripped out of a box in Deans Avenue.
