ROCKINGHAM POST-DISPATCH,
4147 Phones Here
Rockingham Phone Exchange
Has 4147 Phones in Our
Very Fine Dial System.
As the nation last week ob
served the installation of its
50,000,000th telephone, at total
of 4147 telephones were in ser
vice in Rockingham, L. B. Eisen
hart, Group Manager of the
Southern Bell Telephone Com
pany, revealed here. North Car
olina has 690,000 of the U. S.
A.'s telephones, including 395,
000 Southern Bell telephones and
about 295,000 operated by 57
other telephones companies in
the State.
"Telephone progress here in
Rockingham is symbolic of
Communications progress
throughout the nation," Mr.
Eisenhart said. "The number of
telephones here has more than
doubled since 1948, and the
number continues to increase.
The heavy demand for more
telephones service that we have
experienced in North, Carolina
and Rockingham has been felt
throughout the nation."
Presentation of the symbolic
50,000,000th telephone to Pres
ident Eisenhower as head of the
nation was made at Washing
ton November 18th by the Aiaer
ican telephone industry, repre
sented by Cleo Craig, President
of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, and War
ren B. Clay, President of the
United States Independent
Telephone Association.
Mr. Eisenhart pointed out
that additions to North Caro
lina's telephone system are, a
barometer of progress in the
State and fhe South as a whole.
"Since 1945," he said, "South
ern Bell telephones throughout
Dixie have more than doubled,
reflecting a great surge of
business, industrial and agricul
tural activity throughout -this
section of the country. Southern
Bell and Independent companies
working in close cooperation,
have had an important part in
the development of the commer
cial, industrial and agricultural
South," he said.
Rural telephones in North
Carolina now total over 6f ,000
an increase of about 200
since, 1945.
"Since 1876, when the tele
phone was invented," Mr. Ei
senhart said, "the history of the
telephone in America has been
one of great strides forward. In
1899, the nation reached its
first million telephones. In 1914,
America's telephones : totaled
10,000,000. America, first na
tion to achieve 50,000,000 tele
phones, now has one telephone
for each three persons, while
the average of the rest of the
world is one telephone for each
65 persons. More people share
in the ownership of the tele
phone industry than in any bus
iness in the world, the Bell Sys
tem having well over 1,250,000
owners.
The Difference
This is old and heard o
often during the Depression.
Maybe some of yon younger
readers haven't heard it:
Socialism If you have two
cows, you give your neighbor
one.
Communism If yon bar
two cows, you give them to
the government andthe gov
ernment gives yon some milk.
CAPITALISM If you have
two cows, you sell one and
buy a bull.
