Keeping In Touch
Australians probably send more telegrams to each other than any other people in the world. Last year, their Postmaster-General reported recently, they sent on an average four and a half telegrams each. This sending of “wires" might be considered natural in so vast a country, where long-distance telephone conversations would prove expensive; yet in the U.S.A. last year Americans sent only an average of 1.5 telegrams per person. In Britain the figure was 1.1.
