"In simple terms, that is the situa- tion and, I'm sure, every patriotic citizen will do his utmost to help us to meet this. war-time emergency. The materials which are used to make teléphones and telephone equipment ave also needed to bujld aerophones, tanks and guns, and to manufacture munitions, That is why "we are economizing in the use of materials of all kinds, employing substitute pro- ducts, and reconditioning and reusing apparatus. "One of our principal jobs during wartime is. to keep our long distance facilities equal to present and antici- pated demands because adequate long distance - facilities are recognized as vital to almost every phase of the war effort.
