Hundreds of miles of telephone cables have been going in at a fast clip. But these voice-ifigh. ways are still bottlenecked in some places--in many of our fastcst-growing areas, practically no telephones can be installed for months.., until the lines and other facilities can catch up with tile mushrooming demand. The telephone picture looks better.., but it's not yet all we want it to be. 4. Huge sums, of money have !i;i) gone to work in the West to make this new equipment possible and your own telephone more val' uahle. Millions must comenot from bills--but from people who put savings into the telephone business. To attract these dollars, wc must pay a rcasom)ble amount for their use . . . must sell our ,t services at fair, adequate prices. 3. Nearly a million and a half tiny solclered t'onnectious must be made before new equipment like this can begin working in a mcdiunl-sized office. But we're hnrrying all we can to make the wa/ting tinle shorter still. X4)ur telephone needs are very real to us and we won't be satisfied lentil everyone.., everywhere in the\\;Vest ... hits more and bctter telephone service than ever before.
