V. A. M E N D E N H A L L il Howdy, Folks: This is the time of the year when a man feels like going fishing. We’ve been thinking so much about it lately our brain is reeling. * * * * * We’d like some salt w ater fishing ju st for the halibut. * * * * * We used to fish at a certain lake last summer. There were lot of fish in th at lake—there should be even yet because we never caught any of them.* * * * * * They tell the story about Bob Perkins and Ken T ay lor, or was it Snafu Kemp, who went there duck hunting. Bob, they say, bent the barrel of his gun, yetting into his duck blind. N ot noticing it he blazed away at a duck coming into m ake a three- point landing. Bob didn't hit that duck, but killed a whole f ln r k - in a t behind it. and when he picked him self up out of the lake, his pockets were full of fish. * « • • • The difference between B o b and us—we never go there to fish _we ju st drown the worms. * • • • • ADVICE TO FISH ER M EN Joe Gallagher tells us the way to keep fish from sm ell ing is to cut off their noses. Anyway, we’d ra th e r play golf —a golfer never has to show any thing to prove his story. » 4 t + * Proof that our Gas and Air is an excellent value w found in the wide custom er appeal of the product.

Mendenhall Jr. m i S’ We are working hard to provide tele phones for everyone who wants one, and to rebuild our service until it is again the finest in America. Before we can accomplish these objec tives, we must install a tremendous amount of equipment—wires, cable, switchboards, buildings and so on. We call this equip ment "plant". We are installing this new equipment as rapidly as we can secure it but many critical items such as lead and copper are still difficult or impossible to obtain. During the year of 1947, w e promise to "grow" as much new "plant" and as many new phones as the supply of incom ing materials will allow.
