20th Century. Johnny Appleseed
(lll^ like to think of the 4-H Club and F. F. A. member who plants pine
seedlings as the 20th century counterpart of Johnny Appleseed who,
in his travels through the Middle West in the early part of the last century,
planted apple seed along the highways and by-ways.
The seed that Johnny Appleseed planted produced trees which bore fruit
that contributed to the health and well-being of peoples of many communities,
just as the pine seedling which the farm youth plants today on soils too poor
to grow field crops will contribute ro the welfare of all Georgians.
Growing trees for tomorrow is a most important part of our forest
conservation program. Since the opening of our Savannah plant we have
planted on our lands and donated to 4-H Club and F. F. A. members for
planting on lands owned by their parents or for use on forestry projects,
more than 15 million pine seedlings.
Already many of these seedlings, planted only 14 years ago, are producing
income for their owners and raw materials for the forest products industries
of the state —a 300-million dollar annual business providing employment
for more than 120,000 Georgians.

quest had been going on for two
weeks, "it was not until last Fri
day, February 17, that the com
pany was able to get the union
leaders to make their demands
specific. Now while we, are
studying the demands, the union
leaders threaten us with a strike

"We do not believe Southern
Bell employees want to strike.
We believe they will live up to
their obligation to the public and

that they will do so."
You Have a Vital Stake in Telephone Bargaining
It's YOUR money
that pays telephone wages
Southern Bell Wages and Working Conditions Already *
Are Among the Best - Any Increase in Wages Would Have
To Be Paid By Telephone Customers - There Is No
Other Way Wage Increases Can Be Paid
You have a vital stake in telephone wage nego
tiations, for it's the money you pay in to us that
we pay put in telephone ' wages.
Telephone employees are well paid. Their wages
compare favorably with the wages paid by other
concerns in the community for work requiring
similar skills.
Telephone wage rates have been increased 117%
since 1939, compared with an increase of less than
70% in the cost of living.
But wages are not the whole story. Telephone
employees have the advantage of steady work,
with no seasonal layoffs. They get vacations with
pay, up to three weeks, plus six holidays a year.
In addition, they enjoy the real security provided
by one of the best pension and benefit plans in
any industry. Among other things, it provides:
• A pension with a minimum of SIOO a
month, including Social'Security, at age
65, and liberal provisions for earlier
retirement.
• Sickness and accident benefits, up to a
full year's pay, depending on length of
service,
• Death benefits, up to one full year's
wage, depending on length of service.'

For All of These Benefits, the Employee
Pays Nothing — the Company Pays All
Any way you look at it—wages, working condi
tions, pensions and benefits—telephone employees
are doing all right. And that's the way we ' think
it should be. It takes all these things to get and
keep good people.
The Telephone business is regulated in away
that Unions and most other businesses are not.
Federal and State Commissions determine the
rates wg charge for service. Any increases in tele
phone wages would force us to ask for an increase
in telephone rates.
What About The Contract?
Southern Bell and the CWA-CIO are engaged
in collective bargaining on wages at the request
of the Union. We earnestly hope that a settlement
can be reached that will be fair to the employees,
to telephone users and to the company. Mean
while, the public has every right to expect un
interrupted service under the 'present contract
between the Company and the Union, which pro
vides that, quoting the contract itself "UNDER
NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY IT (The Contract)
BE TERMINATED EARLIER THAN JUNE 5
1950."
