on the move:
jA.RMY maneuvers on at scale vastb
greater than ever attempted in this
country are underway and will con
tt'nue for several months. The scene

ern states served by Southern Bell.
It will be both a test and training
tor the army as w ell as for the civil
ian population which provides the
vital means of communication,
transportation and supply.
Essential to the success of these
■saneuvers is an adequate, depend
able aystem of telephone commun
* fration. This the Southern Bell Com
pany is providing whenever, wher
ever and in whatever amount the
fa«t shifting armies require. This
means that theTelephoneCompany,
like the army, is keeping its sources

and man power ready day and night
K> it can act on the moment. Past
years of training and experience in
meeting emergencies have already
prepared our army of telephone
workers for this big task.
It is the Telephone Company’s
plan to take care of the army's needs
with little, if any, serious interfer
ence with the public's accustomed
pse of the service. During these mi
neiivers, however, there may he oc
casions when for short periods oi
Pme out facilities will be mainly
required to meet the army’s sudden
and unexpected needs. Should this
happen in your community, you>
wholehearted cooperation will he a
helpful contribution to the success
