The telephone is more than convenient communica
tion. It is a means of doing business, away for the
merchant to put his store in his customers’ homes.
In serving business, the Telephone Company
accepts a great responsibility—the obligation to
meet every need of the business man who depends
on the telephone.
With the Company—as with the corner drug
store —earnings are vital to continued success. And
because the telephone has become a part of every
day life, telephone earnings are a subject of im
portance to all.
In 1945, telephone earnings were the lowest in
the past 23 years. For 1946, the outlook is for even
lower earnings. In keeping with the general trend
throughout the country, wages have recently been
Increased. The cost of everything else going into
the furnishing of telephone service is also climbing.
Adequate earnings are a basic necessity to the
American way of life. Earnings must be sufficient
to enable industry to maintain high standards of
service and to attract capital for expansion. As for
the Telephone Company, they are indispensable if
the full usefulness of the telephone in carrying on
the business of the community is to be safeguarded.

Ball Completes First
Volume Os War History
Lamar Q. Ball, Georgia World
i War historian, has presented tc !
Governor Ellis Arnall the com ;
pleted first volume of his his- ;
tory of Georgia’s participation in
World War 11.
The book, which has now gone
' to press, is the first of eight vol
। umes, which will deal with the
part that the state of Georgia
j played in the victorious ending
of the second World War. The
I books will be placed in high
I school, college and public libra
ries throughout the state.
“The first volume,” Ball ex
plained, “deals solely with con
; ditions in Georgia when Hitler
set out to conquer the world. The
other volumes will tell the story
year by year, of Georgia’s build-
I ing for war and its contribution
[ of men, machines, food, money
| and the staunch spirit needed
for the winning of the war.”

BITS OF SOUTHERN
SUNSHINE
By MAMIE OZBURN ODUM
It is again Spring, but it
seems strange, Springtime seems
to be the time of year when we
see long blades of fire running;
across acres of rich farm lands,
this soft stubble is food for the
new crops, yet it is being burn
ed, no amount of commercial
fertilizer can take the place of
food substance that nature gives,'
then the knife-like blades of I
bright flames, fanned by the 1
passing winds, catch the sparks!
and go dancing through the j
trees, into the lowlands, and ।
1 bring a black waste compared
to desolation. We wonder IF
this fire is “set”, or is it a care
. less smokers cigarett?
A careless toss of a cigarett
On a trail where leaves are fit
Then a raging blaze, like a
demons pit—
I A small spark started it.
j A grand old forest wrapped in
flames
Burned to the very roots,
Mosses, ferns, and birds and
flowers
j And the timid, poor wild brutes,
i Old hoary oaks, of ages strength
A mark for the wind-swept
flame,
While the very heavens in
fiery red
A fury none can tame.
Like a hissing reptile, wind
swept on
1 The highest branches to dare,
Bleak desolation mark its train
Like a skeleton, black and
bare.
i The pipes and cigarettes still
burn . . .
Live campfires burning too,
■ A Nation’s wealth jeopardized
What will its peoples do?
Yes, we should stop this waste
to our heritage, it should be a
law, and strictly enforced that
’NO one, not even on his own
land should turn fire aloose,
; when it is once out of control, it
burns until it exhausts all top j
covers. There are lessons for
men in trees.
j Trees teach the wisdom and
knowledge of men
Knit ragged nerves into sooth
ing ease.
Eternally rooted in the passi
onless glen
Strength, is that lesson taught
by the trees.
: Trees patiently bow ’neath winds
of the sky
| Breathing the storms, stronger
year by year,
j Cool shadows cover the foolish
1 and wise
As Time-tide rolls and seasons
veer.
Lessons of the trees: STRENGTH,
DUTY, UPRIGHTNESS,
BEAUTY.
