Telephone Lines to the Front
As battles roll on to victory and vast new areas are con
quered, the need for tremendous amounts of telephone equip
ment becomes more and more urgent.
Since the start of the war the huge telephone manufac
turing plant* of the Bell System have been concentrating on
the manufacture of telephone equipment for war use ex
clusively, to insure that there shall be no shortages of tele
phone equipment on the war fronts.
Just before war started, the Southern Hell Company com
j let cd a large program of expansion of central office and out
side plant facilities. This enabled us to continue installing
t"le??hones after the manufacture of telephone equipment for
civilian use had stopped.
Now, however, the normal reserves of switchboards, wire,
i 1 !.*s and instruments have been used up, and we have
r: in. people on our waiting lists for service. But war's needs
r ' ir-t. so for some time we at home shall continue
t ;w?.v the most and the best use of what we now have.

Last Spring ! sac waiting to ,
Hive a report to one of our coun
ty boards of commissioners. The
county agent was making his an
nual report. He said that the
chief agricultural problems of our
section are: deple.ed eroded soil,
an J low cash income. The solu- >
: ion he indicated was first of all
a deeper feeling of responsibility
for soil management. He said
that all farmers must participate
in soil conservation. This can
be accomplished t rough continu
ation of present present programs
more pasture, more fertilizer.
Cash income can be increased
! through larger truck farming?
! beans, potatoes onions. Dairying
programs need to be expanded.

Last week, while I was clearing
out a file of clippings. I ran across
a page from the "New York
Times". It was dated August 29.
1939 a few days before England
and Fiance declared war on
Germany. Leading figures of all
nations involved were pictured
there. Those five years have been
centuries for some people. A
Dutch WAC visiting our commun

Americans just don't know how
lucky they are. The past fiver
years may have been centuries for

GIVE HIM BETTER
LIGHT TONIGHT!
AND HE'LL DO BETTER WORK TOMORROW!
That man of yours ? NO MATTER WHAT HIS JOB ?
is helping to defend AMERICA!
Perhaps he is actually helping to build planes ? or ships? or tanks ? or guns ?
or helping in the production of copper, lumber and other miscellaneous industries so
vital to the war effort. Perhaps he is merely working harder at his regular job be
cause of vacancies caused by army, navy, or industry. One thing is sure ? he is work
ing harder than he ever did before.
Any eyestrain tonight ... in his hours of relaxation . . . can rob him of the
energy and alertness he needs for tomorrow's job.
During these days of stress and strain it is doubly important to conserve our
energy and our eyesight. So, in your home whereever eyes are used for close seeing,
sewing, reading, working or playing, make sure you have protective light.
