Revival to Begin At Bethel Sunday “We pledge to the people of WUkes Coanty that the tele phone companies serving them will endeavor to operaU our equipment as efficiently m pos sible In the fature.” This pledge was made by W. E. Siparger of the Central Tele phone Company and Parks Hunt er, manager of the Winston-Sal em exchange of the Southern Bell Telephone Company, to J. B. Williams, President of the Wilkes Chamber of Commerce, last week. Forrest E. Jones, Sec retary-Manager of the Wilkes Chamber and Joe H. Mullen, As sistant Rato Analyst of the North Carolina Utilities Oom- mlsslon, also attended the con ference. Sparger stated that his com pany had Increased the service for long distance circuits through the North Wilkesboro exchange by 67 per cent to a total of five circuits, four Into North Wilkesboro and one into West Jefferson. "This Increase- in service has been offset, how ever,” Sparger pointed out, “by a total Increase in the use of long distance circuits of 85.9 per cent ot the 1941 use by the people of Wilkes County. The Increase has been 22.4 in the use of long distance service Just since the end of the war.” The companies plan to have two additional circuits available for operation between North Wilkesboro and Statesville by the end jof this year. Plans are also being made to .add^tii as soon as line material Is avail able. The Central Telephone office at North Wilkesboro has fifty per cent addlttonal switchboard equipment on order at this time, as well as additional cable and lines to take care of held orders. “A large percentage ot our operators have been with the company less than six months,” Hunter said, “and this naturally causes some change from the service yon experienced before the war. If I could ask one thing from the membership of the Wikes Chamber of Commerce, It would be this, please be patient and courteous to the operators. It will pay you dividends In bet ter service.” This statement was made In reply to a question from Jones as to what the Chamber could do to help better the tele phone service. Sparger also pointed out that time could be saved if the per son placing a long distance call would tell the local operator the place to be called rather than asking lor the long distance ope rator. He also asked that, when ever possible, long distance calls ■be placed before nine-thirty In the morning. The meeting of these Tele phone Company officials and Chamber of Commerce officials was held as a result of the Cham ber’s request to the members that they write the North Caro lina Utilities Oommlssion con cerning the phonb service In this area. President Williams of the Wilkes Chamber made this state ment to the Journal-Patriot fol lowing the meeting: “The members of the chamber realize that seonrlng equipment of any kind is almost Impossible at this tlm^ therefore, we only asked that the telephone service now In use be operated to its maximum capacity. We also rea lize that the human element en ters the picture to a large extent. I believe that the pledge these men have made ns will produce results, and I want to thank them for their attention to onr letters.” Revival service will begin Sunday, Anguat. At Bethel chnreh near Mountain View. The pastor. Rev. Ernest Blevins, will conduct the revival, assitted by vlnitlng mlnlsten, and servlew wai be bdd at 11 A. m. and 7:10 p. m.
