The weight of war on the long
distance telephone line* grows heavier
every day. We can’t build new lines to .
carry it because materials aren’t avail-
able. We’ve got to make the most of
the service we now have.
To keep our lines free for calls es-
sential to Hghting the war, we need
your help and sympathetic under-
standing.
In general, of course, we are able to
handle fairly easily calls over shorter
distances. But remember always that
if your call goes to a large city where
war work is under way, or must pass
through such cities, it may add to an
already dangerous congestion. This is
especially true in the rush hours from
9 to 12 in the morning, 2 to 5 in the
afternoon, 7 to 9 at night.
On calls to more distant points dur-
ing those hours, we arc sure you will
feel that your personal interests must
give way to official messages that con-
stantly are flooding our lines.
By thoughtful use of telephone serv-
ice civilians can help to win the war.
And we know you’re glad to help.

On the Main street of every town and hamlet, every
community large and small throughout the Cnlf
South, can be seen the men and women who have
placed normal living in the background.
Their first job now, like that of citisens throughout
the United Nations, is to help win the war. They
have rolled np their sleeves and are doing their
utmost to help utilize fully the rich, diversified
resources of this area . . . are helping Gulf South
industry produce more and faster until we’ve won
through to Victory.
Just as helping win the war is your first job, it is
also the No. 1 job of the more than 3,000 employes
of our organization. In towns and cities throughout
%
. Is Our Main Street
the Gulf South, they have always been a part of the
community in which they live. Now, during this
war crisis, they feel the responsibility to their
community and to their country more keenly than
ever before. «. 1
After the war is won—and we WILL win—your
Main street and our Main street will have a greater
significance than ever before. It will be symbolic
