As America girds for national
defense, the Southern Bell Company's
aim is not only to meet
the increasing telephone demands
of government and industry,
bur to continue rendering
%igh quality service to the individual
user.
Despite the necessity for training
numerous new employes,
and caring for a record increase
in telephones and volume of
jills, the service has generally
xtntinued at a high standard.
Telephone -men and women
?re continuing to furnish
friendly, helpful and tcchnittlly
flirient service.
These trained and experienced
workers and their management
are accustomed to
working together and to planning
ahead under conditions
jniposcd by emergencies.
, The workers, while meeting
ihc rapidly expanding defense
telephone requirements, are
suing for the needs of the in
dividual user in ever)' way they
can under existing conditions.
Th? telephone organization is
doing its best to see that during
these times of national
anergency you continue to dejm:
the greatest possible advantage
t com your use of the service.

According to records of the High

the nine fatal accident's involving
"hike" riders was clearly chargeable
to a motor vehicle operator,
and 11 of the bicycle, riders killed
