AT OPEN HOUSE
In the name of the dead — locked deep in sleep
Under alien earth — give us strength to keep
Untarnished their dear-bought legacy,
The brave, bright armor of liberty.
And for those unborn — Lord, we lift a prayer
For a wiser world where we all may share
A lasting amity with men.

THROUGH THE EVES OF A FRIEHD
Customers are people. And the Telephone Company bas
always considered customers in that light—aa indi
viduals, like the men and women who make Up our own
company.
This friendly feeling, we are happy to say, it reflected
in the progress that North Carolina and the Telei^one
Company made together through the years. It is this same
kind of partnership that makes the future sparkle with
promise.
Like North Carolina, the Telephone Company is buck
ling down to its postwar tasks. For the 3,712 men and
women of the Telephone Company in this sute, it meant
the greatest expansion program in our history in
North Carolina. It’i a full and complete program, de-
signed tc meet the state's industrial and agricultural
needs of the future. It means the expenditure of milliona
of dollars in North Carolina.
ParenthcMMl Speaker At

RALEIGH — Mrs. Mary E. Lang
ford. field consultant of the Plan
ned Parenthood Federatitti of Amer
ica. Inc., sp.ke to students of Shaw
University at chapel services Mon
day morning at !o o'clock. Mrs
Langford, who also met with sever
al classes in philosophy and the ao-
clal sciences, emphasized the im
portance of parental health and
other factors In the bearing and
rearing of healthy, happy children
The speaker listed three alms of
her organization; 1. Each couple
shall be h-ippily married; 2. £ach
child be bom alive and health.. 3
Assistance shall be given to cou
ples who have been denied children.
Speaking of the' difficulties which
children have, Mrs. I.angford de
clared, “Tt is not juvenile delin
quency, but parental delinquency
we find. No happy child becomes
a probiefn 'child.** she'added. i
Specifically, the program will provide telephone* for
all who have been waiting for them. This is one of our
first jobs! A greatly expanded telephone program for
our farmer friends it also in process. Expansion of long
distance service is being scheduled too. It will include
tlw installation of coaxial cables to handle more calls
with speed and convenience for you, snd provide moro
facilities for that exciting visual art—television. A mass
of construction is to be done and a new service to motor
vehicles is also in the offing.
Here’s a program of achievement, to be worked out
together by North Carolina and the Telephone Company
as they have worked out their attainments of the past. By
mutual understanding and cooperation. North Carolina
and the Telephone Company will grow greater than ever.
It s a big program that shall become a reality at fast as
materials become available—a reality to be translated
into prosperity and payrolls for the people of North
Carolina. For a business is like an individual. If he fares
well, his community fares well with him. And that ia the
way it should be, among friends.
