When the mosquitoes are biting and the fish are not, when the cof fee has been lost, strayed or left behind, or should you wake up some night with a young tornado blowing and it seems to be rain ing harder inside of a leaky tent than out —then if your partner grins and complains not, stick to him like a burr, for a sense of humor will assure congenial com panionship and level off rough trails as smooth as a sheltered pound on a windless day.

During these years we had full margins of plant sac ilities, and most telephone workers were vet erans with years of experience and training. These conditions created a situation ideal for con centration on the betterment of the speed and quality of our services. * Now the situation is reversed. Defense requirements, both mili tary and industrial, as well as unprecedented demands for indi vidual service, have placed ex ceptional burdens on our physi cal resources and manpower. Added to this is the tremendous increase in local and long dis tance calls, which combined have developed service demands without parallel in our history. Thousands of new workers have been employed and trained, and millions of dollars have been spent to expand our facilities to meet these heavy demands. « Wc hope you will agree that we ! have so far been generally sue j cessful in meeting the demands for telephone service, great as they have been. Because of con ditions beyond our control, such as the shortage of copper and other essential materials, it may be, as time goes on, that we can not continue to fticet the de mands in certain congested areas with the same success. However, we pledge you that we shall con tinue to do our very best, with the determination to accomplish the impossible rather than try ing to show why the possible can’t be done.
