An Announcement From France It is announced that, due to the increase in motor accidents in France, provincial telephone exchanges will be kept open on Sundays and holidays and to a later hour on week days. This will seem « strange an nouncement to Americans who are accustomed to 21-hour tele phone service every day of the year. However, in France the telephone system is government owned and operated and in the past service has not been pro vided from small centers on Sundays and holidays. This is a striking illustra tion of the difference between government operated industry which is controlled by private .initiative and enterprise.
