M ost fo lk s h a re in to w n never think of the telephone
company when they see jet fighters tracing vapor trails
through the sky. But the fact is that phone people are
helping to speed up the nation’s air defense by making
it work almost automatically. We’re building a network
of telephone lines that are the nerves of a new system
called SAGE. They carry signals from radar outposts
to control centers in a flash. There. Air Forcemen see
in an instant what’s in the air, and can use SA G E ’s
phone lines to order jets or missiles up without a
second’s delay. We watch over these lines with care,
to make sure they’re always working for your safety
and security.
