W E regret that thousands of applicants have had to "line up" for telephone service. Telephone equipment has been critically <ii«rt because this is a "commtmications'' war. And of COOTS* the armed fonxs, the joveninient and war industries still move automatically to the head of the line ; their needs come first. Only as material becomes available for les» tirgent needs can we take care of our waiting lilt, and on a first-ci>nie-first-«erved basis. ^e realize it's no fun havinj to "stand in lin*" this way. .\pplicants have been surprisingly cheerful about it â€" a fact we deeply appreciate, ^e just want them to know that w^e will be every bit as glad as they when we can once again meet every request for telephone service â€" fully and prompdy.
