We’re doing all we can
to serve people waiting
lor telephones
Inn urgent job of getting telephone service to
those waiting is going ahead. We are nearing a
milestone: Soon everyone who needs only a tele-
phone instrument itself to get service will have
it. That shortage is about over.
In the first three months of this year wc have
installed 150,000 new telephones in the five states
we serve. This is as many as we would have in-
stalled in six months of a normal year.
Although 170,000 new applicants for service
during this time kept the waiting list long (223.-
000 in the Southwest as April began), wc now
are getting service faster to those waiting longest.
A great many of the people waiting for service
on V-J Day now have it.
Two big jobs remain:
1 As quickly as wc can get it, we are wiring
* w iht precision, intricate machinery that han-
dles your calls at the exchange, t his takes
time and skill. VC’Pmust do years of work
in the next few months.
'y Iii a great many places we also need outside
cable-and wire. We plan to have this in and
ready when the new equipment in the tele-
phone office is- completed. Where w e can,
we are wiring homes in ttdi'ance for tele-
phones. ready to connect than the moment
w e are able.
Meanwhile, wc are trying every way we know to
s-t-r-e-t-c h the service ... and wc are temporarily
squeezing in everyone we can with party lines,
hooking more telephones to already loaded
switchboards and dial equipment, putting dis-
connected lines back into service faster. If for a
while telephone service is not always as fast as
you’d like it. it is because of this crowding.
We repeat: The telephone company is doing
all it can to provide service for waiting custom-
ers We re looking forward to the day wc get in
touch w ith you to arrange the details of installing
your telephone.

Farmers Meeting
The farmers meeting held in
the Praha Parish Hall on the
evening of May 6 was an im-
portant one. Mr. Stark ex-
plained the soil conservation
program. After the meeting
an educational picture show

Thanks for the attendance.

A speed violation was re-
ported for one out of every
three fatal motor vehicle acci-
dents in 1944, according to
Thomas N. Boate, special serv-
ice director of the 'National
Conservation Bureau, who
warns warm-weather drivers
that “most fatal accidents oc-
cur on the straight and wide
open highways.”
He said that With the ad-
vent of the warmer weather
there is more temptation ‘to
speed and consequently a
greater danger. People get
out on an open highway on
bright sunny days and forget
all about speed restrictions or
hazards. They are in a hurry
to get to the seashore or coun-
try and squeeze in a few extra
minutes of enjoyment and re-
laxation.
“Each state should put an
absolute limit on speed,” Mr.
Boate urged, “with speed
limits zoned downward consis-
tent with highway construc-
tion and traffic conditions. The
National Conservation Bureau,
accident prevention division of
the Association of Casualty
and Surety Executives favors
such limitations and the pub-
lic's endorsement is borne out
by a recent survey indicating
that people do recognize the
limitations of the driver.”
