MAIL EARLY
FOR DELIVERY
BEFORE CHRISTMAS
Public response to the Post Of
fice Department’s “Shop Now.
Mail Now” campaign is good but
needs to be better, according to
Postmaster General Frank C.
Walker.
“Extraordinary wartime condi
tions face us,” Mr. Walker said.
“Unless more people buy and mail
Now the Postal service cannot
do its job of delivering all Christ
mas gifts on time.
“It is not pleasing to us to have
to ask the American people to
mail packages so far in advance
of the delivery date. We do
so only because it has to be done.
The job is a tremendous one. but
we are confident that it will be
done because we know from ex
perience that given sound reasons
Americans cooperate magnificent
ly.
“Unprecedented shortages of
manpower and transportation fa
cilities growing out of war compel
early mailing. The Postal Service
has given 60,000 experienced em
I ployees to the armed forces and
300,000 railroad workers have
gone to war. Equally eerious is the
fact that rail and other transport
facilitites are taxed to the limit
with the great burden of war
traffic which all of us know must
take precedence.
“In a great number of our 43,
000 post offices the manpower
situation is critical. The 200,000
extra workers whom we normally
recruted to handle the swollen
Christmas volume of mail were
able to work long hours of over
time and to do heavy work." This
cannot be expectetd from the
women and high school boys and
girls to whom in large part we
must look this year to meet the
situation.
“The way in which everyone re
sponded in making it possible for
us to handle a volume of 70,000,
000 parcels for the armed forces
overseas leaves no doubt in my
mind that the Early Christmas
mailing will be equally successful.
1 ask for the help of the press,
radio, business advertisers, civic
groups and all Americans in mak
ing it possible for the Postal Ser
vice to do its work.
“We urge everyone to buy now,
nail now and mark gifts ‘Lb Not
Open Until Christmas',”

TELEPHONE COMMITTEE
WORKING on POST-WAR PLAN
A joint committee of repre
sentatives of Bell Independent
Operating’ Telephone Companies
throughout the United States has
been formed to advance the na
tion-wide post-war program which
the various Telephone Companies
have been working on individual
ly to extend and improve farm
Telephone service, it was an
nounced today by W. C. Adams,
Manager of the Telephone Com
pany.
Co-chairmen *f the Committee
are John P. Boylan, President of
the United States Independent
telephone companies, and Keith
P. McHugh, Vice President of the
American Telephone and Tele
graph Company, representing the
Bell Operating Companies.
Rural Telephone service is more
highly developed in this country,
under the American system of
private enterprise, than in any
other country in the world,” Mr.
Boylan and Mr. McHugh said to
day in a statement issued by them
for the committee. “However, it
is hy no means as highly develop
ed as we in the industry want to
see it, and the industry intends
to do everything in its power to
provide more service, and better
service at a cost which the farm
er can afford.
“Since operating Telephone
Companies throughout the whole
country have been working on
this problem, a representative
joint committee has been formed
consisting of a number of their
most experienced officials. We be
lieve that the application of new
facilities and methods which were
under development by the indus
try before the demand of war in
terrupted our research and con
struction program, will help to
bring telephone service to many

n«W farm customers. As soon as
war demands are reduced, we
propose to resume and expand
our research efforts and, along
with it, the intensive program for
extending farm set vice w hich was
being carried on before the out
break of hostilities.
“Over one-half million miles of
telephone pole lines serving rural
areas have already been built so
that more than two-thirds of all
rural families in the United,
States can be served from exist
ing lines. Since 1935 more than
five hundred thousand additional
families in rural areas , have be
come telephone subscribers— an
increase of 25 per cent. One of
the major objectives is to continue
this upward trend by making the
service over existing lines in
creasingly valuable and attractive
This the inlustry intends to do to
the limit of its ability.
“A second major objective is
to extend service at reasonable
cost to families not now reached
by existing lines. Telephone in
dustry research in the last several
years has successfully developed
new construction materials and
methods which substantially low
er the cost of building wire lines
to areas not previously reached.
In addition, work was started bv
the industry in 1938 to develop a
practical systtem of transmitting
telephone conversations ove>- el
ectric power lines. A similar sys
tem can be used over telephone
lines to increase their capacity.
This so-called rural carrier sys
tem transmits a very high fre
quency current over the wires.
From 1940 on, experiments with
this system for telephone service
over rural power lines were car
' led forward in a cooperative ef
*0,'t telephone laboratories,
and the rural electrification ad
nnnisti ation. Before the work
was interrupted by the war, it
e?r a su*table system
°«i s kind could be produced.
One practical effect of these
developments is to make it physi
cally possible to furnish telephone
service wherever there are rural
power lines and no telephone
lines. The Telephone Company
Ptans, in cooperation with R.E.A\
cooperatives and with power com
panies service rural territories, to
dettermine the full extent to
which rural carrier telephone
service can be used economically
and effectively.
The telephone companies also
plan to Study the possible appli
cation of microwave radio systems
to rural telephone service, and to
make use of this and any other
new method which will be helpful
