A bird’ s—eyo view of this country today would show a panorama
of countleiis unlitary and industrial activities.
Here the smoke of a thousand stacks obscures the view of arrow
ual, steel and iron works and innurnerable factories.
There the sun ’11 rays flash upon thopsands of glittering bayonets
and rise and set on many new and strange looking cities—the mobili-
~ sat-ion camps of the armies of the Republic, or gild the wings of swift
fiefiplanes gliding to and fro 1n bird like flight over broad aviation
1e 3
The National Capitol would be seen, from which all these vast
enterprises are directed and co-ordlnated, with hundreds of telephone!
lines radiating from it to all parts of the country, and linking it to
each military and industrial center.
A veritable mass of other telephone pole lines, covering the
\ 111011; country wit? :fiiaetwork of wires, would be visible, connecting
city, own camp, a cation, navy ds milit head uarters
coastguard stations and light houses?” cry 11 "
Everywhere busy groups of telephone workers would be dis-
closed erecting poles and stringing wires to meet new and extra» '
ordinary demands for service.
All this telephone activity is but a part of the vast work the
Bell system is doing.
Notwithstanding the scarcity of materiel and labor, our con-
struction program for the year is the largest in the company’ 8 his-
tory. Yet it will require the conservation of every resource to keep
pacerit-h the cfhgztantly' increasing demands for service.
om us in patriotic service, by remembering that the more
careful you are to make only telephone calls that are no and
to confine your talks as much as possible to the less busy hours of
the day, the better we can meet the needs of the Nation.
