Telephonists such as Deanna Menzies were fearful of losing their jobs in late 1966 when the Orange Telephone Exchange went automatic. Machines would replace many of the 43 staff in the Moulder Street exchange, and automatic dialling would become the norm. The society holds a work day at Heritage Cottage (148 March St) each Wednesday from 10.30am to 4pm, with a lunch break from 12.30pm to 1.30pm. Members are available to answer enquiries at this time.
