Service
You probably have heard
about certain government rc-
strictionson telephoneservice
and equipment now in effect.
We should like to tell you a
little more about these re-
strictions—why they are nec-
essary, and what they will
mean to you.
The reason for them is sim-
ple and complete. They are to
save materials which are need-
ed to fight the war.
What will theymeantoyou,
the telephone user?
If you have a telephone now,
they mean no change except
that In many Texas cities af-
fected by war growth you may
have to have other parties on
your line. And, in all cases,
you can’t get an extension
telephone In your home if you
haven't one already.*
For people who Lave no tele-
phones and want them, or for
present users who move to ne w
locations, we shall supply at
least party-line (service wher-
ever there are now enough
lines and switchboards. Butin
general, where new construc-
tion of this type would be
necessary, we shall not be
able to provide service.*
This will mean Inconven-
Icnccand perhaps hardship to
a few people now. As time
goes on it will probably mean
Inconvenience and hardship
to more people, hut we need
your help and sympathetic
understanding in this im-
portant step to save the max-
imum of materials for the
war.
Beside the great savings in
materials already made by
substitution and wartime en-
gineering, the new restric-
tions will mean that more
lead, iron, steed, zinc, copper,
and rubber used in telephone
equipment will now go Into
arms.
Insplteof all this,and while
telephone service may not be
available to all who want it,
we believe we can keep the
service up to a high standard.
At any rate, we shall do our
level best. These difficulties
arc something thnt neither
the government nor the tele-
phone companies can help.
They arc part of the price of
protecting liberty.

AH newspapermen, sadly' famtl-|
lar with the way an error will I
creep In and then another error (
sometimes slips in when a eorrec-j
tion is attempted, will smile wryly j
at this from a paper:
"We stated last week that Mr.
John Doe was a defective' In the
police force. This is a typograph-
ical error. Mr. Doe is really a de-
tective In the police farce."

“Walking more will he good for j
us.
“The reduction In quick, easy i
transportation will cause us to get
better acquainted with our neigh- j
bors.
“The almost-forgotten pleasure of,
visiting will be re-discovered and |
the lost art of conversation will be |
revived.”
These are the philosophic ob-'
servatlons of Bruce Melvin, reg- *
tonal consumer regulations execu-,
tlve of the Office of Price Admin-
j istratlon in the Southwest. His j
1 eyes twinkle as he reels off the 1
long title, for the former professor
i of sociology in Cornell Uaiversitv
has a sense of humor. Friendly j
mild mannered soft voiced, Dr
Melvin has studied housing and j
rural vouth problems over the na-
I tion.
Aims of his department are to j
assist consumer to adjust himself j
to the restrictions on the quantity}
I of goods (due, of course, to the
j heavy demands of war): to aid
the consumer to buy wisely, to
conserve and to find substitutes
for goods which are becoming
scarce.
