On the Nation's Business
A SLEET storm snaps wires
-in New England; a bliz
zard fells a line of poles in the
Western ranges; a flood over
whelms a valley community; a
prairie cyclone sweeps away
everything in its path; wher
ever the emergency, men and
material are rushed to the spot
in order that telephone service,
vitally important at such a time,
may be restored. '
And the mending of every
break restorestotclephone users,
everywhere in America, a par
ticular path for the passage of
his voice. Whether sadden
calamity comes from an Atlantic
gale or a Texas "twister," its
d amage must be repaired at once,
because it cripples some part of
a communications system that is
nation-wide.
Because America has univer
sal service, the telephone track
speeding to a scene of disaster is
truly "on the nation's business,"
and the implements of its work
ers are weapons wielded in the
nation's cause.
