A Year of
Accomplishments
T
%
The year just ended was a rec
ord year of general telephone
expansion in the South. Mil
lions were spent to expand lo
cal and long distance facilities
and other millions were ex
pended for preparedness proj
ects. At the same rime, the
numerous and varied govern
mental and industrialemergency
needs were filled promptly.
Nearly 300,000 new tele
phones were installed and about
180,000 taken out, making a
net gain for the year of more
than 110,000. Sixtv-eight new
central offices were built and
put into service. Twelve of these
were new exchanges while fifty
six replaced manually operated
offices with the newest type dial
equipment. Rural sections also
shared liberally in this program.
The gross expenditures for
new construction and replace
ments exceeded $40,000,000.
It was a year of outstanding
accomplishments achieved un
der exceptional conditions. The
thousands of telephone men
and women responsible for this
work are justly proud of the
results. They begin the new year
confident in their ability' to meet
the future telephone require
ments of this fast growing sec
tion of the nation.

maybe Mr. Butler could bring

been done . . And more power to
you girls . . . Note to J. D. O’Bry

Note to Donald Brumbaugh —
Don’t forget to be careful when
riding around in big brother’s car
and try not to run over anybody

the pedestrians. Don’t jump out in I

“And must I keep giving and giv
